Sony WF 1000XM4's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device produces high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Sony WF 1000XM4's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this implies that
Sony WF 1000XM4 can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Jabra Elite 7 Pro
