Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Google Pixel Buds Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device generates high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
