Raycon Fitness Earbuds's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Wave Beam's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Raycon Fitness Earbuds produce a juicier bass than the JBL Wave Beam
Raycon Fitness Earbuds's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component produces high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. JBL Wave Beam's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
Raycon Fitness Earbuds can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Wave Beam
