My experience: not quite.
How do you think?

It depends, but mostly I agree with you.
If you are a rare talent in the market or you have several pending offers,
they will really make efforts to accommodate your needs. They tend to think
working with you can help them make a good deal with the employer faster.
On the other hand, I think you know it, Headhunters never work for
candidates. Instead, they are hired by your prospective employer, so in
principle, they are helping the employers, not candidates.

My experience is positive.But I feel that it's much harder to negotiate
salary if the job is introduced via a headhunter. I guess it might be due to
the reason that the employer has to pay for a high commission fee to the
headhunter.
