The JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through. Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
The JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through. Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's measurement is 110dB/mW.
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
