All a speaker is is a one magnet with the cone attached suspended by a fixed electromagnet. One would think that they would keep things sensitive to magnets away from them, and those magnets in the headphones are a lot more powerful than the little magnet on the back of your timer. At worst, having a magnet near a speaker during its operation would cause distortion, but that would probably require a much stronger magnet than the one that's supposed to hold the timer to the fridge.
