both devices produce equal bass
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device produces high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices generate equal treble
