You still haven't explained what good treble or clean treble is beyond that it is detailed.
As to how to define good quality treble, I'd say a fast accurate transient response would fit the description.

We all know synthetic measurements generally aren't perfect. I personally don't understand why someone doesn't play a high quality FLAC song and measure using that, comparing to the source waveform and analyzing various characteristics of the deviation (maybe because it would probably require custom software).
Are you sure that was a correct measurement? That's certainly a strange impulse response.
That said, I see the first peak of the impulse begins at 0.0001 seconds. That's fast (twice as fast as the first peak of the SRH-940's impulse response). It just seems to take a strangely long time to settle.

(Oh, I guess it's because we all love listening to those square waves. And infinitely short duration impulses. And perfect single tone sinewaves swept across the frequency spectrum /sarcasm)
The other interesting point is that if you have a good enough sampling resolution and precision, with only the frequency+ phase graphs you can plot the impulse response, the step response, the response to square wave just via the Fourier and Laplace transforms.

Are headphones linear enough for that? Or do you just mean a good approximation?
How do you define detail then, phase response? If that's the case, how would a phase shift on the order of .1ms matter to a bass waveform dealing with frequencies with periods on the order of 20ms?
