Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Sony WF 1000XM4
✓
JBL Live Pro 2 ✓
ANC uses advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
JBL Live Pro 2 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
The Sony WF 1000XM4 too have ANC making either of the devices ideal for flights and rush hour travels. The JBL Live Pro 2 and Sony WF 1000XM4 operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for travel or that enhances your chill time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

JBL Live Pro 2 ✓
JBL Live Pro 2 sit tightly in place, creating a sound seal that tones down your environment noise and also prevents the earbuds voice audio from leaking out .
Both Sony WF 1000XM4, and JBL Live Pro 2 have passive noise reduction this means that both limit ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Sony WF 1000XM4
6mm
JBL Live Pro 2 11mm
The JBL Live Pro 2 have a unit size of 11mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, its size corellates with the sound made by the earbuds.
Sony WF 1000XM4 driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Live Pro 2 by 5mm
, as many tend to believe 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Sony WF 1000XM4
20Hz
JBL Live Pro 2 20Hz
The JBL Live Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Sony WF 1000XM4's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Sony WF 1000XM4
40000Hz
JBL Live Pro 2 20000Hz
The JBL Live Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device makes high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Sony WF 1000XM4's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, this means that
Sony WF 1000XM4 can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Live Pro 2
Sound Pressure Level
Sony WF 1000XM4
105dB/mW
JBL Live Pro 2 93dB/mW
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Live Pro 2's measurement is 93dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Sony WF 1000XM4's sound pressure level measurement is 105dB/mW. How loud a device is can be perceived differently by separate persons, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
Sony WF 1000XM4
✓
JBL Live Pro 2 ✗
Sony WF 1000XM4 have neodymium magnets, if used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help produce music at quite a high sound pressure level, with the use of high magnetic flux.
