Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it. JBL Live Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices generate equal treble
