I'm no expert myself, but this is my understanding:
Faster = a fast pace headphone, for example can handle complex drum&bass, guitar solos and etc with speedier efficiency than a slower headphone. I think it's linked to PRAT (pace,rhythm and timing) but I'm not 100% sure on that.
Up Front = a non laid-back headphone, for example makes it sound like you are up near the front row nearer to the stage rather than at the back up in the rafters which is what a laid back headphone tends to do.
Treble Rolloff = is where the highs are purposely muted so as to not cause piercing shrills or sibilance. But a trade off of this is that you don't get as much high pitched sounds as you probably should for the scenario.
Euphonic = This is one I'm unsure of, but to me euphonic sounds to be full and musical. Think of euphoria and apply it to headphone audio. Could very well be wrong though.
Lush = Another one I'm unsure of, but lush to me sounds to be again musical but instead of being harsh and heavy it's sweet and formless like water. But again could be wrong.
Hope this helps.
Do you know what they mean by faster and upfront? Also, what about treble rolloff and more euphonic and lush? :s
