What is the benefit to increasing the 16k range?

For me it seems to make the music seem more "emotional" and less "flat" it makes it pop more I guess. Does anyone else feel this way or is it just placebo effect?

This is assuming your headphones can produce anything that's near audible (in contrast to the rest of the frequencies) in the 16k range.  A lot of headphones end up rolling off well before that

Wdell, since its a 10 band equalizer it would probobally be adjusting like the 13k range also, so does anyone feel this way about these upper ranges (above 12k or so)?
