Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
JBL Live Pro 2
✓
Google Pixel Buds Pro ✓
Active noise cancellation utilises advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
Google Pixel Buds Pro have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
The JBL Live Pro 2 too have Active Noise Cancellation making both earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the mode that suits your travel or that suites your relaxation time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

Google Pixel Buds Pro ✓
The Google Pixel Buds Pro sit tightly in place, this creates an acoustic covering that tones down your environment sounds well as preventing the earbuds voice audio from leaking out .
Both JBL Live Pro 2, and Google Pixel Buds Pro have passive noise reduction which means that both reduce ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
JBL Live Pro 2
11mm
Google Pixel Buds Pro 11mm
The Google Pixel Buds Pro have a unit size of 11mm 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 determines the sound produced by the earbuds.
JBL Live Pro 2 driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making both devices similar in how loud their sound gets
, 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 yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
JBL Live Pro 2
20hz
Google Pixel Buds Pro 20hz
The Google Pixel Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Live Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
JBL Live Pro 2
20,000hz
Google Pixel Buds Pro 20,000hz
The Google Pixel Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Live Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
JBL Live Pro 2
93db/mw
Google Pixel Buds Pro 75db/mw
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Google Pixel Buds Pro's measurement is 75dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
JBL Live Pro 2's sound pressure level measurement is 93dB/mW. The sound pressure level, a device is can be perceived differently by separate persons, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
