I think it would be difficult for someone to come up with exact numbers but they are quite a bit more effective depending on the setup. Shannon's subliminals use the stereo effect to make your right and left hemispheres work together to understand the message. I've seen the number thrown around that this effect can double the impact of the audio. So, if you listen to a cellphone speaker on your nightstand then, it would be twice as effective to listen to headphone. If you have two speakers, one on each side of your head, then headphone are only a little more effective.
The magic of headphones is that they eliminate the possibility for a bad setup. You are always going to get good stereo separation. In a speaker setup, you have to be more careful.
