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?

    Bass is the deep tones. Think kettle drum or something like that. When you sit next to a car in traffic and you hear that deep sound that’s annoying as hell. That’s bass.

    Treble is the higher notes. Treble can also be mid range notes.
