IP ratings is the level of protection offered by a casing, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX4, the Beats Studio Buds's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. In comparison to the Beats Studio Buds, JBL Reflect Aero TWS have a rating of IP68 meaning that
they are completely dust proof
and that of liquids is that,
JBL Reflect Aero TWS has a higher liquid rating than Beats Studio Buds
The Beats Studio Buds have a weight of 5.1g . We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to carry.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS, at 13g
are heavier than the Beats Studio Buds with a difference of 7.9g
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Beats Studio Buds are true wireless for this case since they have no cables.

JBL Reflect Aero TWS also is true wireless since it has no cables connecting the two earbuds together.
Beats Studio Buds are resistant to sweat
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
Beats Studio Buds have stereo speakers, what this means is that Beats Studio Buds's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. The JBL Reflect Aero TWS also have stereo speakers
ANC uses more 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 having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Beats Studio Buds have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise. JBL Reflect Aero TWS too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the devices ideal for flights and rush hour travels.
The Beats Studio Buds and JBL Reflect Aero TWS operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that suits your commute or that suites your relaxation time. Beats Studio Buds sit well in place, creating a sound seal that tones down your environment sounds and also prevents the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.

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 basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the sound produced by the device. JBL Reflect Aero TWS driver unit is 6.8mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Beats Studio Buds by 1.4mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound. The Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device generates low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. JBL Reflect Aero TWS's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal treble
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured 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 Reflect Aero TWS's sound pressure level measurement is 99dB/mW.
How loud a device is can be perceived differently by different people, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms. The Beats Studio Buds's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's battery life is
equal to that of the Beats Studio Buds
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to. The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and the Beats Studio Buds's case has a full charge of 16 hours.
A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself. JBL Reflect Aero TWS's charging case has a battery life of 16 hours,
equal to that of the Beats Studio Buds
It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the Beats Studio Buds's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.

JBL Reflect Aero TWS microphones are 6,
equal to that of the Beats Studio Buds
. More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the earbuds to filter out background sounds. Beats Studio Buds use a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are made to reduce background sounds from the desired sound.
