JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Google Pixel Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
The JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Google Pixel Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
