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 generates high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
