First, you're going to have to define what poor sound means to you. Modding your closed back headphones to add more speakers isn't going to make them sound better, but probably worse.
The best way to get better sound is to replace your headphones with better headphones, or to use a better source when playing music. Even better headphones aren't going to improve the quality of music if you're playing lossy Mp3s.
If your headphones are crappy, a better source won't really help. It's not an or here, headphones make most of the difference. Only decent headphones will appreciably benefit from a good source.
MP3 isn't ideal but, unless you have rather good headphones, 320kbit/s MP3 is pretty damn near transparent.
The point is, we don't know what kind of headphones or what kind of source OP is using.
These are Chinese headphones with no name. However, they looked impressive and I was foolish enough to buy them instead of the inexpensive Sennheiser headphones which cost about the same.
Sorry friend. I know that feeling. I wish there was a better solution to your headphone dilemma.
