The capacitance determines the frequency response. The cap forms a high pass filter with your headphone speaker. The -3dB frequency of this filter is f = 1/(2 PI x Z x C) where Z is the impedance of your headphones. As you can see, a smaller capacitor will pass less bass - how much less depends on the impedance of your headphones.
