Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Sony WF 1000XM4
✓
JBL Endurance Peak 2 ✗
Active noise cancellation uses advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
Sony WF 1000XM4 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
Has Passive Noise Reduction
Sony WF 1000XM4
✓
JBL Endurance Peak 2 ✓
JBL Endurance Peak 2 stay tightly in place, this creates a sound covering that reduces background sounds and also prevents the earbuds music from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that they limit ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Sony WF 1000XM4
6mm
JBL Endurance Peak 2 10mm
The JBL Endurance Peak 2 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size determines the loudness of the earbuds.
Sony WF 1000XM4 driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Endurance Peak 2 by 4mm
, 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
Sony WF 1000XM4
20Hz
JBL Endurance Peak 2 20Hz
The JBL Endurance Peak 2'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 alters the signal on its way through.
Sony WF 1000XM4's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
Sony WF 1000XM4
40000Hz
JBL Endurance Peak 2 20000Hz
The JBL Endurance Peak 2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
Sony WF 1000XM4's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, this means that
Sony WF 1000XM4 produce a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Endurance Peak 2
Sound Pressure Level
Sony WF 1000XM4
✗
JBL Endurance Peak 2 93dB/mW
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Endurance Peak 2's measurement is 93dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
Sony WF 1000XM4
✓
JBL Endurance Peak 2 ✗
Sony WF 1000XM4 have neodymium magnets, if used in earbuds produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output using less power to do so. They can help generate music at quite a high SPL, using high magnetic flux.
