Could be a generic question as well. Will normal consumer grade headphones work on a ham radio?

I've got an IC-7100 and I tried just plugging in my Apple earbuds to use for listening, but the audio was horrible. I'm assuming it is some impedance mismatch, but not sure. The earbuds work fine on my iPhone.

I don't want to drop big $$$ on Heil gear for just listening. I'd use my hand mic for xmit.

Thanks in advance.
 
What he said, but I bet half of it is just because those earbuds are terrible to begin with. I like using headphones through a filtered speaker so I can use the audio filters to cut out some of the hiss/noise.
