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 measures if and how well a particular audio device produces high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it. JBL Live Free 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
