I was just joking no offense meant.
I haven't tested it myself, but I suspect that what you're hearing at those frequencies are the distortions of the driver.
I.e. you're probably hearing harmonics, rather than the fundamental itself.
I'm sure you can feel it. I can too. But in my opinion that is definitely not the most important factor for good sound quality.

Joker how do you get to trial so many different headphones?
Do you have industry contacts or do you just buy / sell a lot of different headphones?
Sorry for being nosy I am just interested how you get so many headphones lol.
Since I don't think starting a new thread would bring anything useful:
Which IEM do you consider the most extended (bandwidth) of all of the universals?
Would any of these be suitable for deep fit and have slim build an/or narrow nozzle, preferably working well with foam?
Dynamic drivers or moving armatures are preferred.
Current list is perhaps:
VSonic GR01, Etymotic MC5, Fischer Audio DBA-02 mkII, Etymotic HF5.
Also probably j-phonic K2 SP, once the site is up.
While Westone IEMs isolate well, they are too dark for my taste.

The GR02 has a somewhat 'hot' top end and can accentuate treble sibilance. Some people are sensitive to this and will much prefer something with a flatter or more laid-back treble presentation.
Unfortunately you're probably looking for non-lean in the wrong place with Etys and TWFK-based sets (I'm assuming your SE 5-way has good note weight similar to my SE 3-way here). Most TWFK-based sets will easily reach the limit of my hearing (the ATH-CK10, for example, is quite strong at 17k) but they won't have the note thickness of an SM3 or SE 3-way.
Say, joker, is the GR07 responsive with EQ? I'm thinking to get it just for the soundstage and just play with EQ for what I need.

I just recieved my GR04 Pro/Flagship and all I can say is WOW.. except one thing.. like the GR02, harsh 6k-10k band and "ssss", I hope they settle in after first hundred hours or whatever, it's not an issue with all songs but when it is, it's a little disturbing, anyway I think I'll try foam tips which should absorb some of the "s" quantity, right? ..and play a little with the eq on my sansa.. Overall, incredible sound for 50$.
Gotta say it...toldja so! I have to ask, are you having any driver flex? I'm having a little bit in the left ear.
