Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

JBL Live Free 2 ✓
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
The Beats Studio Buds have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
The JBL Live Free 2 too have ANC which makes both devices ideal for flights and morning commutes. Each work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that you prefer for commute or that suites your relaxation time.

Driver Unit Size
Beats Studio Buds
8.2mm
JBL Live Free 2 11mm
The Beats Studio Buds have a unit size of 8.2mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, the unit size dictates the sound produced by the earbuds.
JBL Live Free 2 driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Beats Studio Buds by 2.8mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Beats Studio Buds
20Hz
JBL Live Free 2 20Hz
Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
JBL Live Free 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Beats Studio Buds
20,000Hz
JBL Live Free 2 20,000Hz
Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
JBL Live Free 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Beats Studio Buds
100.5dB/mW
JBL Live Free 2 102dB/mW
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, Beats Studio Buds's measurement is 100.5dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
JBL Live Free 2's sound pressure level measurement is 102dB/mW. How loud a device is can be considered differently by different people, so we need to have the means to get a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
