Galaxy Buds 2 Pro driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JLab Epic Air Sport by 2mm
, many people have a misconception 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 mean that they produce better quality sound. JLab Epic Air Sport's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
JLab Epic Air Sport's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
SPL, is the level of pressure 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.
Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 25dB/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. JLab Epic Air Sport's battery life is 15 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge.
