Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Beats Fit Pro
✓
Jabra Elite 5 ✓
Active noise cancellation utilises advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
The Jabra Elite 5 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
The Beats Fit Pro too have ANC which makes either of the earbuds ideal for flights and morning commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that you prefer for commute or that suites your relaxation time.

Driver Unit Size
Beats Fit Pro
9.5mm
Jabra Elite 5 6mm
Jabra Elite 5 have a unit size of 6mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size corellates with the sound made by the earbuds.
Beats Fit Pro driver unit is 9.5mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Jabra Elite 5 by 3.5mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Beats Fit Pro
20Hz
Jabra Elite 5 20Hz
The Jabra Elite 5's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.

both devices make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Beats Fit Pro
20000Hz
Jabra Elite 5 20000Hz

Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
