I suggest you perform this test , to check the claim:

One potential problem, is that some  source suffer from aliasing during resampling, and this is what some hear while listening to high freq.

If you find the treble to be unnatural, I would point more at the Grado like 300Hz square wave response than the drop at 10kHz. I don't get the feeling that something is wrong with the treble, and I can actually hear all the way to 22kHz unlike a lot of people on this forum (judging from the hearing frequency range thread a while back) so if it is such a big deal, I should notice it... 

 

The HM5 still has a midbass hump. It's actually slightly worse than the V6's. I like a nice, reasonable hump in the midbass like a lot of other people, but a midbass hump isn't helping with flat and neutral. 

 

I think you should take the time to learn a little more on frequency response graphs, how they are made, and their limitations. Most people just think it's a straightforward graph, but you really have to understand the science behind it.

Oh hey look, another argument that nobody else care about.

+1 there's plenty of other threads to talk about graphs and the science of sound. I forgot this was even the overrated headphones thread...

Lol, I started by saying the HM5s are not neutral and can be proved by looking at graphs, and then it turned into a whole thing haha
