Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
The Google Pixel Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device produces high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal treble
