It certainly is a good indicator that it will work but it is not
guaranteed to. The N76 could have electronics inside that detect and
adapt to headphones with different ring pin-outs on their jacks where
as the N800 may not  ... I don't know.

It would be very stupid for Nokia to not standardize their headphone
pin-outs. But if the complete non-standardization of AV cables with
the same plug is any indication, the great thing about standards is
that there are so many of them. (1)

That is an incredibly good deal though.
