Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) can make sound with a juicier bass than the Beats Fit Pro
Apple AirPods (3rd Gen)'s highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component makes high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it. Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
