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?

    It’s in the name. The first letter of “bass” makes a low frequency sound, something that comes out of a kick drum, whereas the first letter of “treble” makes a high frequency sound, something that comes out of a cymbal.

    The mids are just mid frequency sounds.

    I may have oversimplified it too much.
