making them have a larger driver unit than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by 1mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
