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

But do they meet any of your other requirements? One is 1/10th the storage space, the other 1/40th. The iPod shuffle sounds like the audio is being filtered through mud (haven't heard the Samsung). The iPod definitely doesn't support flac (the Samsung might but I doubt it).
So, physically small and <$100. Not that great, imo.

The HP Touchpad 32gb is 100$ atm and is the closest you'll ever find in that price range

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.

not if you play it loud enough

i think the topic is done.
arguing whether or not someone would hear a difference in flac while playing it with a portable device is "laughable and futile" at best. not only have you no idea where he is while mobile (jogging in a forest would produce a sufficiently quite background, no?) nor do you have his ears.
