Sennheiser also quote a range of 5Hz to 45kHz (-10dB limits) as this spec is more directly comparable with the specs often presented by other headphone manufacturers (who often use -10dB limits without specifying them as such).

Sennheiser HD 250BT review - What Hi-Fi?

Although it would be incorrect not to say that more attention gets drawn towards the highs and the lows. Listening to the HD250 Linear II is a pleasure and the headphone is very comfortable to wear for extended periods without the ears becoming hot and sticky. Orchestral tracks, like the opening scene from John Adams’ The Gospel According to the Other Mary, get a fairly flat response treatment through the HD 250BT. My perception about high end Sennheiser headphones changed again as I was not very satisfied with the previous full sized Sennheiser purchase/loaners (HD595/600/650). These models offer the same sound signature as the legendary HD 25 and sound signature of the headphones is the same across the three models.The Linear II driver is well capable of rendering a hollow soundstage like many other modern day headphones. Sennheiser’s new headphones also support high-quality audio codecs such as AAC and aptX, while Bluetooth 5.

After speding some time with other top-tier headphones it is the midrange that seem to be the main weak point but based on how big a simple headphone cable change can bring at a certain level, I might just find one that can help with this issue. HD250 and HD540 models use the same earpad outer diameter and identical lockrings so the pads are completely interchangeable.
