Is it just that we're all different in the way our ears work? Or is it a function of the fact that I've never had high-end audio equipment? I actually envy the people who can hear the difference; it makes me feel like I'm missing out on something!

Do you remember that mosquito test that everyone was doing a few years ago? Where they played a high-pitched tone to see who could hear it? Most people couldn't hear it. Kids could, but most older adults couldn't. That test had to do with hearing sharpness, but I am sure there other other tests that differentiate tone and sound layers.
We all taste things differently. Yes, we all hear differently too.
