More power will give you better bass response, and will of course let you
play louder (not always a good thing). The degree of difference is
dependent upon the headphones you use.

Sennheisers always sound better with more power to drive them, and I find
that with any good headphones, a Sharp 702 sounds better than a Sony
MZR-50 simply because the sharp has 10+10mW while the Sony only has 5+5mW.
