That's the range for my 9 yr old son so not to worry.

Mine goes up to about 17Khz with no problems at the low-end. Perhaps need more volume than others at the extremes of my hearing spectrum.

And you had the same results with both headphones? I would find it a little strange...

Well, depends on the volume. This thread should be in the general discussion section BTW. Here is are my approximate ranges depending on volume:

Very low (barely audible/in bed listening) volume:

Left ear: 100 Hz - 12.5 kHz
Right ear: 100 Hz - 15 kHz

Low (quiet/background listening) volume:

Left ear: 60 Hz - 14 kHz
Right ear: 60 Hz - 15.5 kHz

Medium (normal) volume:

Left ear: 45 Hz - 15.5 kHz
Right ear: 45 Hz - 16.2 kHz

High (rocking out) volume:

Left ear: 35 Hz - 16.5 kHz
Right ear: 35 Hz - 17.2 kHz

Very high (for testing purposes only) volume:

Left ear: 30 Hz - 17.3 kHz
Right ear: 30 Hz - 18 kHz

I did my testing using Hifiman RE0 for high frequencies and Ortofon e-Q7 for lows. I am 21 years old.

15~15kHz left ear, 15~17kHz for my right ear, now everything sound tilted to the right and lack of airiness to the left.

Yes, Pianist, you are right, I forgot about fletcher-munson curve.

But at the same time I think it really counts the model of headphones you use for tests (It is approved for aural-acoustical analysis, or the headphones are audiometric versions...) Heck, it even counts the listening environment (computer fans,etc or completely sillent)
