You can hear what that sounds like without cutting any wires, if you have a
surround-sound system.  Just turn the front speakers all the way down and
listen to the surround speakers.  

Cutting the ground wire makes the 'phones get only the part of the stereo
signal that's different on the two channels, and that's also what a
surround decoder does to create the "back" channels.  

Let the weirdness in!
