Then you must have exceptional ears (you might have) because I've seen no test where people could tell the difference between these two reliably, only by lucky guesses. I'm guessing the "horribly compressed sound" of 320s is imagined.
You could blind test yourself, though. Put a CD with some songs you know well in your CDROM, then rip them to 320 and to 160. Try one song at a time and listen to them on shuffle so that you don't know which version is playing and see if you can guess which one is which.
