For what reason can some headphones go above 20kHz when human hearing can not? (alien.top)

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

Also, when it is said that human hearing goes up to 20kHz, this is true for young healthy people. when you are 20, you are typically not hearing anything above to 18kHz already.
