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 for low frequency sounds, so use that if you want to hear the kick drums, the bass guitar, trombone etc more clearly and you want a deep and mellow sound. Mid for human voices and most lead instruments. Treble if you want other drums and cymbals to stand out and you want a brighter but slightly shallower sound.
