Nothing Ear 2 driver unit is 11.6mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC by 3.6mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound. JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Nothing Ear 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
The JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it. Nothing Ear 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate 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.
