both devices can produce equal bass
The Marshall Minor III's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
