Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Google Pixel Buds Pro have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
JBL Wave Buds too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the devices ideal for flights and morning travels. The Google Pixel Buds Pro and JBL Wave Buds operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that you prefer for commute or that suites your relaxation time.

The Google Pixel Buds Pro stay tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces your environment sounds and also prevents the earbuds sound from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that they reduce ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Google Pixel Buds Pro
11mm
JBL Wave Buds 8mm
The Google Pixel Buds Pro have a unit size of 11mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the sound made by the earbuds.
JBL Wave Buds driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Google Pixel Buds Pro by 3mm
, as many tend to believe 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Google Pixel Buds Pro
20Hz
JBL Wave Buds 20Hz
The Google Pixel Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Wave Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Google Pixel Buds Pro
20,000Hz
JBL Wave Buds 20,000Hz
The Google Pixel Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component generates high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
JBL Wave Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Google Pixel Buds Pro
75dB/mW
JBL Wave Buds 100dB/mW
SPL, is the pressure level 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 Wave Buds's sound pressure level measurement is 100dB/mW. How loud something is can be considered differently by different people, so we need to have the means to get a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
