Both JBL Reflect Aero TWS and Beats Studio Buds have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.

The Beats Studio Buds have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.

However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.

Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. JBL Reflect Aero TWS's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that both devices can make sound with equal bass The Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component produces high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it. JBL Reflect Aero TWS's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that both devices produce equal treble SPL, is the level of pressure 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 Reflect Aero TWS's sound pressure level measurement is 99dB/mW. How loud a device is can be perceived differently by separate people, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
