which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Beoplay EX by 1mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound. The Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
The Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can generate equal treble
