I just went on a whim and looked for replacements for my aging and rapidly
dying Pioneer SE-305 headphones (yeah, got 'em before I started to listen
to the quality of music, while I was listening instead to the lowest cost
I could find! :-( ...). Anyhow, after listening to a pair of Koss Pro/4X
at the local Tech HiFi, I got them for what seemed a modestly high $69.
I brought them to my room for a side-by-side comparison with my oldies, and
to my utter surprise, not only were they much lighter (!!), but my ears were
screaming, "Holy Smokes! We've never heard these high frequencies over
headphones before!!" I couldn't believe the amount of the frequency spectrum
I have been missing for years now. The Koss phones claim to deliver from
10-40kHz response, and I tend to believe it.

Now all I have to get used to is hearing the low-level high-pitched background
noise over FM that my other phones couldn't reproduce. But that seems a small
price to pay for the sound I'm hearing right now. And if you'll excuse me,
I'll just sign off now and enjoy the music...
