You can do listening tests of 4 different perceptual coders by downloading files from http://www.pcabx.com/product/index.htm . The original, pre-compression files are also available. 3 of the perceptual coders are MP3, one is not. 3 of the perceptual coders are running at the de facto standard bit rate of 128 Kbps, and one is running at 256 Kbps. In general, people hear differences when comparing these products. I don't know how people do with the 256Kbps samples.
