The Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Live Free 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. JBL Live Free 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can generate equal treble
