Do You Hear Fret Buzz More Through Headphones Than Through An Amp?

I play through a Toneport GX and Sennheiser headphones. Nothing great, I think the headphones were only around $50 new. (They sound fine to me so I never upgraded!) Here is my dilemma...I have been having a bad fret buzzing on my G string on my Jackson SLSMG. From the 12th fret and higher it is pretty annoying. So, I try to dial it out...no luck. I brought it to my local music shop, and he played it acoustically. He couldn't hear any buzzing. He plugged it into an amp - a tiny bit of buzzing, but nothing like I have been hearing. Does fret buzz show up more in headphones? Or maybe it is the Toneport? What do you think?
