Sort of annoying. I expected my A700s (paired with an extreme music) to be better all around then my desktop speakers, some Z5300s.

Using this test I was able to hit 16 khz with my headphones. 17 being barely noticable at high volumes. Tested with my Z5300s and theyll play up to 18 audibly just fine.

Maybe this is more of a rant. I just expected them to have better range. While im at it the bass isnt all that fantastic either. :/

Is this normal?

Oh, and Im 17. So hearing these frequencies shouldnt be a problem.

Well the Z5300s aren't terrible, but I am surprised that they're able to hit those frequencies while the A700s can't.

The only thing I can really think of is that maybe the Z5300's compensate by blunting higher frequencies? Not sure though.

But you're right, you should be able to hear those frequencies at 17, unless you've already experienced substantial hearing loss.

Not at all, its very rare for me to be around loud noises. The sound from the speakers sounds correct though, its a pretty clean high pitch noise.
