any reason why there is a difference between the two? is it noticeable to the ear?
 
is the coiled just more convenient for portable use? since its shorter?
 
Thanks.

The graph only differs by like 1-2 amplitude. I doubt it's noticible.

No, no discernible difference. The coiled version will be better for portable use if you plan on walking around with them.

The coiled cord would be less susceptible to the EMP created during a Nuclear blast, at least until your house vaporizes.

So in your last few tenths of a second to live you can listen to the heavenly bliss that is your headphones. That is if they isolate the sound of the world blowing up around you well enough.
