Maybe if all you're using are JVC Gummies.
I have triple armature headphones. There is a difference.

Yes, I'm sure your songs are killer samples and you are so well trained in spotting compression artifacts that you can easily pick out the lossless one in ABX tests. On a train. With humans around you.

no if you have a player that puts out a better range of sound with better clarity and can actually handle good set of phones without a secondary amp, it is definitely noticeable.

I generally hit around 80% on ABX tests. Also: passive noise canceling. Also, also: flac tweaks better, it's more accepting of the use of an equalizer since everything is there. Also, also, also: most of my flac is classical, where it makes a bigger difference due to the greater dynamic range of the sound.

Even if you use the best memory foam it will still let in quite a bit of environmental noise, easily overwhelming the subtle improvements from using lossless codecs. Like I said, ABX 'em in environments where portable players are commonly used, like daily commuting.
What it comes down to is that I find the idea of critical listening in generally noisy environments laughable and futile.
