which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) by 1.8mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
The Apple AirPods (3rd Gen)'s lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it. Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) make sound with a juicier bass than the Beoplay EX
Apple AirPods (3rd Gen)'s highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it. Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
