Considering human hearing can only hear up to 20kHz why do some headphones like the HD 560s allow going to 38kHz?

    The extended range helps stop roll-off in the sub-bass and high-treble.

    That adds kick and brightness to the lowest and highest notes. Since the drivers CAN go beyond human hearing it also means that the limits of human hearing are WELL within the abilities of the drivers–without pushing their physical and electronic limits.
