Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component makes high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it. Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can generate equal treble
