Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

JBL LIVE 300 ✗
ANC utilises more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.

making them have a larger driver unit than that of JBL LIVE 300 by 3.4mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Bowers & Wilkins PI7
10Hz
JBL LIVE 300 20Hz
JBL LIVE 300's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Bowers & Wilkins PI7's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, this means that
Bowers & Wilkins PI7 make sound with a juicier bass than the JBL LIVE 300
Highest Frequency
Bowers & Wilkins PI7
20000Hz
JBL LIVE 300 20000Hz
The JBL LIVE 300's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component makes high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Bowers & Wilkins PI7's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Bowers & Wilkins PI7
✗
JBL LIVE 300 95dB/mW
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL LIVE 300's measurement is 95dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
