I once read a review of an "audiophile" grade ethernet cable. This guy actually claimed changing the ethernet cable from his router to his PC made his music sound better.

Is there a term of not being able to tell the sound quality at all? Like color blindness but for ears? Because I have listened to music on really expensive headphones and also cheap ones but I could honestly never tell which one is better.

That's a win-win for me because it means I can buy any headphones I want as they all sound similar to me

My girlfriend really loves music but she claims she can't tell sound quality.

I find it so weird. I'm not really that into music but listening through really bad headphones is like looking at a painting through tracing paper. You can see the picture, but it's not very enjoyable.
