If the vast majority of the heavily praised headphones from audiophiles are harsh-treble, no sub-bass... would that make them treble-heads? Many of them call these headphones "accurate," yet music, movies, and even games that require sub-bass (ie hip hop, action movies, first person shooters), tend to show that they are not accurate at all. Are you an audiophile or a treble head?

Audiophile headphones might have slightly enhanced treble to show the intricate high frequency details. These headphones will have high bass/treble frequency extensions. Headphones that roll off the bass and have harsh treble are not really audiophile headphones. They are simply catering for people who like distorting their music, which has quite a considerable following.
