Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
JLab Epic Air Sport's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component makes high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
