Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it.
Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise. The Jabra Elite 7 Pro too have ANC which makes both earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning travels.

JBL Reflect Aero TWS driver unit is 6.8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, its size determines the sound produced by the device. Jabra Elite 7 Pro driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Reflect Aero TWS by 0.8mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound. The JBL Reflect Aero TWS's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices make sound with equal bass
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device generates high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
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. The JBL Reflect Aero TWS's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge.
A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's battery life is
more than that of JBL Reflect Aero TWS by 1 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
