Has Active Noise Cancellation (Anc)

JBL Tune 520BT ✗

Beats Studio Pro ✓

Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 outside (noise from your surrounding) and adding -1 inside (counter sound within the device) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.

Beats Studio Pro allow you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise.

Has Passive Noise Reduction

JBL Tune 520BT ✓

Beats Studio Pro ✓

Passive Noise Cancellation uses well-designed ear cups to seal out unwanted noise. This is used for both in-ear earphones and over-ear headphones where the headphone itself will keep surrounding noise out. The Beats Studio Pro sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.

Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that also the JBL Tune 520BT isolates you from ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.

Lowest Frequency

JBL Tune 520BT 20Hz

Beats Studio Pro 20Hz

Low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on the way through. Beats Studio Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.

JBL Tune 520BT's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that both devices produce equal bass

Highest Frequency

JBL Tune 520BT 20,000Hz

Beats Studio Pro 20,000Hz

High frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component reproduces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it. Beats Studio Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.

JBL Tune 520BT's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that both devices produce equal treble

Sound Pressure Level

JBL Tune 520BT 103dB/mW

Beats Studio Pro ✗

Sound pressure is the average variation in atmospheric pressure caused by the sound, the sound level .i.e how loud something 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 sound pressure level, SPL, is the pressure level of a sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Tune 520BT's measurement is 103dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.

Driver Unit Size

JBL Tune 520BT 30mm

Beats Studio Pro 40mm

The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone. Beats Studio Pro driver unit is 40mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.

JBL Tune 520BT driver unit is 30mm in diameter, which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Beats Studio Pro by 10mm , many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.

However, large drivers usually have difficulty reproducing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better sound.

Impedance

JBL Tune 520BT 32Ohms

Beats Studio Pro ✗

Impedance is the device's resistance to the electromagnetic current, as electricity flows through a conductor, it experiences electrical resistance that counters the flow of current. The resistance of a conductor is measured in ohms. JBL Tune 520BT's impedance is 32Ohms, the lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.

Has A Neodymium Magnet

JBL Tune 520BT ✗

Beats Studio Pro ✓

Neodymium magnets when used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help produce music at quite a high sound pressure level, SPL, with the use of high magnetic flux. The Beats Studio Pro have this type of magnet.
