Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out.
In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
The Beats Fit Pro have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise. JBL Live Pro 2 too have Active Noise Cancellation making both devices ideal for flights and morning commutes.

making them have a larger driver unit than that of Beats Fit Pro by 1.5mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. JBL Live Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device generates high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. JBL Live Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Beats Fit Pro's measurement is 101.3dB/mW.
