The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Nothing Ear 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component generates high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Nothing Ear 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal treble
