Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

JBL Reflect Aero TWS ✓
Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
The Huawei FreeBuds 5i have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS too have ANC which makes either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that suits your commute or that enhances your chill time.

Driver Unit Size
Huawei FreeBuds 5i
10mm
JBL Reflect Aero TWS 6.8mm
Huawei FreeBuds 5i driver unit is 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, its size determines the loudness of 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 Huawei FreeBuds 5i by 3.2mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Huawei FreeBuds 5i
20Hz
JBL Reflect Aero TWS 20Hz
The Huawei FreeBuds 5i's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device produces 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 implies that
both devices produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
Huawei FreeBuds 5i
40000Hz
JBL Reflect Aero TWS 20000Hz
Huawei FreeBuds 5i's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component 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 20000Hz, this means that
Huawei FreeBuds 5i can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Reflect Aero TWS
Sound Pressure Level
Huawei FreeBuds 5i
✗
JBL Reflect Aero TWS 99dB/mW
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Reflect Aero TWS's measurement is 99dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
