making them have a larger driver unit than that of JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC by 2mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound. The JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component produces high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 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 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.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 25dB/mW. How loud something is can be taken differently by different persons, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
