Good headphones, like good speakers, are fairly expensive. OK
headphones can be had for a lot less but don't expect them to perform
like the expensive ones, some of which sound spectacularly real (Stax,
HiFiMan, AKG, Sennheiser, etc.)
I find it remarkable that even the most expensive ones have rather poor
specs. The frequency response it not flat, they have a lot of overshoot
and frequency response above 20 kHz is mostly not shown, strange!

OK .... Bloody hell, I didn't knew that :-)
Makes me wonder what kind of measurements are done to solve this
enigma and I how manufacturers managed to build such "weird" frequency
response in there headphones IF done on purpose!
Thank you and others for this info.
