I am not an audio person, so do not have much idea about technical terms - but I hear the words “bass” and “treble” almost everywhere now, especially in the equalizer app that came with a new bluetooth earbuds that I bought (yes, I am still very much a wired-earbud guy, just dipping my toes in the wireless earbud ocean).
So what do these “bass” and “treble” mean? I guess I hear the sounds to be different when I monkey around with the equalizer. The sound is slightly deep/full for “bass” and less so for “treble”.
Is that all?
The equalizer simply adjusts the levels of the frequency spectrum of the sound you’re listening to. Bass pertains to lower frequencies and treble refers to the higher frequencies. The middle frequencies are appropriately called “mids”. So lowering the treble OR increasing the bass gets you more oomph and fullness, while the opposite makes it brighter and more shrill.
