Apart from the fact that probably only small children (to young to wear
phones) are able to hear that full range. For everyone else / everyone older
the higher frequencies (above 16kHz or 19kHz) are only psychoacoustics. And
if these are important to you on a headphone, you need to get one that has a
(preferable flat:) frequency response up to 96kHz...
