both devices can produce equal bass
Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Jabra Elite Active 75t's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
