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?

    In addition to giving you some control over music listening preference, these are really helpful for listening to podcasts, too. There are a few of them that are either bad at audio mixing, or they think maxing out the bass makes them sound sexy and authoritative. It really just makes them sound boomy and muddy. By cutting the bass and/or increasing the treble I can understand what they’re saying over road noise.
