no, i don't think so.  the limiting factor in the quality of voice 
telephony is bandwidth, not speakers or headphones.  it will always be 
in the company's best interest to keep bandwidth as low as possible to 
minimize their communication costs.  if there are advances made I think 
it will be in the wavelet codecs they use, the math that compresses and 
then reconstructs the signals.  there is a LOT of research being done 
in this area.
