Headphone to keyboard

Yesterday I tried to use my iPhone headphones and connected them to the back of keyboard at the place where there is a headphone sign, using a quarter inch adapter. The music quality and sounds were horrible, even the styles beats did not sound right. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to use special headphones for keyboards? I need to do this since I want to be able to hear myself playing during live performance. I appreciate any help and answers from more experienced members.

If you have pa300, you need to switch line out to headphones from Global. There is an option there.

The iphone headset is NOT headphone socket friendly..While in some devices it may work ok ,on most you will have a center cancellation effect due the built in mic (third ring on the JACK) and the button it has..
To check that , try to keep the button pressed and i am almost sure that it will play ok!The same will happen with every headset with button/mic (handsfree)..

Thank you angelitto and musiciankill for your quick responses. I have PA600 keyboard. I tried headphone without built it mic (only 2 rings on jack) and it worked perfect. Thank you again for the helpful hint.
