The JLab Epic Air Sport's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device generates low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it. Google Pixel Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
The JLab Epic Air Sport's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Google Pixel Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JLab Epic Air Sport's measurement is 110dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. Google Pixel Buds Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 75dB/mW.
The sound pressure level, something is can be taken differently by different people, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
