Windows 7 audio settings question

Hello Head-Fi,
I have a question about Windows 7 audio settings.
My problem is a "full-range speakers" option.
Is it only for speakers as the name suggest or should I check it even for headphones?
I know it is a silly question, but it really does bother me. 
 
P.S. I am using an USB-DAC with ATH-M50 headphones.
Thanks.

Make sure it's set to full-range or it'll will cut off your low end frequencies.  The option is there for small satellite speakers that cannot handle the entire frequency range without sounding muffled.  If you had a subwoofer it should redirect the cutoff-ed audio to the subwoofer.  Headphones are full-range devices, they have to be.

Thanks a lot.

That's the answer I was looking for.
