If nothing is loose after the repair nothing will change about the frequency. And no, as a gaming headset for non audiophile you do not need more than 20khz. but you should read some reviews if the balance is good when the base is exaggerated you do not hear anything different or when you have to much treble everything sounds jus spikey and annoying. if there is no base because of a very high entry frequency like 30 to 50 hz it is more of a bummer for most people because it is just sounding like you beat a piece of cardboard if an explosion is happening. you do not hear actively under 20 hz but you will recognize a difference between 10 and 20 hz

Sorry this is my first post I want to ask something why some gaming headset offer more intensive frequency meanwhile human can only hear around 20Hz - 20KHz if some of you guys already test it on some few headset like siberia and hyper x 2 please tell me if it is kind of useless to not so audiophile like me to buy more higher frequency sorry for bad grammar I from indonesia and are there any chance if I repair my headset it will reduce frequency to my old headset

You won't be able to 'repair' a pair of headphones to increase their frequency range.

 

Manufacturers of gaming headsets produce spec sheets which shouldn't be taken as fact, especially with frequency response. If a proper PA system struggles to reach 30Hz at a useful level then i don't believe a ~50mm driver will. Then there's the fact that you can't hear 20kHz, just through natural ageing, and if you've ever been exposed to loud noise your maximum frequency will be much lower.

I think what he meant was that his headphones are damaged and he is not Sure if the repair would decrease the frequency range
