Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Marshall Minor III's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component makes high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through. Marshall Minor III's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
