Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

JBL Live Free 2 ✓
Active noise cancellation uses advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
Beats Studio Buds have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
JBL Live Free 2 too have ANC which makes both devices ideal for flights and rush hour travels. Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the noise cancellation type 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 driver unit is 8.2mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, the unit size dictates the loudness of the device.
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
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate 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 a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Live Free 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Beats Studio Buds
20000Hz
JBL Live Free 2 20000Hz
Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
JBL Live Free 2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, 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. The sound pressure level, something is can be considered differently by different people, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
