[SIZE=10pt][COLOR=000000]The numbers on YouTube and especially on MosquitosRingtones are inflated and distorted. 21 and 22 kHz must be arround 13 to 14 kHz, not more.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

exactly. i been trying to say that. people think they can hear 21khz in these test but they really can't. it's just harmonics. it's not actually fundamental 21khz tone. that's why these tests people try are not legit. no one wants to listen so let them believe what they want. i bet barely anyone around hear can hear electronics around their house. lot of monitors,modems and tv's give off a fundamental 16khz tone when on standby or turned on first time of the day. can people hear their monitor or modem when they walk by it? probably most likely not. i get annoyed with my modem and still hear it from upstairs.
i never mention human hearing limitation. please point where i said 16khz was person's limit? i said no such thing. i said electronics give off a fundamental 16khz tone. that's all. i never said anyone right or wrong either so don't know why getting all offensive. i ran the test on multiple sources and sites too. didn't want to believe it but i tried on the site and even on tone generators as well and i was able to pick up 22khz tones as well even though they were faint at my normal listening level testing multiple headphones and even speakers. i will stay open though and curious if all i'm picking up is harmonics or not. can't say for sure. if your curious too i'm 24, but i still find age has nothing to do with someones hearing ability. like to mention these tones too really don't translate well into real world of music most of the time, if not at all.
No headphone can surpass 20Khz frequency. Yet you admit you have a sony 100khz headphone.
You also said right here:

Which I take as no one can hear those higher frequencies. You said that, no one else. And for the record, if I am in the living room, I can tell when a tv is on in the other room, even if the sound is muted.
16k-17k is my limit, which is pretty much where I've been for a while. Makes Grado headphones bearable >_>'
The amusing thing here is people aren't considering the possibility of electronic or transducer distortions creating an issue . . .
