I can't hear shit above 17kHz, and no human even infant can hear shit above 21-22kHz.

The reason manufacturers claim responses outside of the human hearing range is that it's a way to claim the headphone perfectly reproduces both extrêmes of the spectrum.

I haven't had my hearing formally tested, but I would be shocked if I have much hearing above 15kHz. I'm 45 and I was a drummer, and marching band with high tuned snares without hearing protection I'm sure took off quite a bit of the top end.

Oh yeah you're toast dude. I'm 23 and I've been playing drums since I'm 6, and that's how I fucked my hearing.
