both devices can produce equal bass
Google Pixel Buds Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it. Jabra Elite 85t's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
