Active noise cancellation utilises more 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. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.

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 find it difficult to produce 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 device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and 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 implies that
both devices can produce equal treble
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Reflect Aero TWS's measurement is 99dB/mW.

more than that of JBL Reflect Aero TWS by 2
. More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out noise. The JBL Reflect Aero TWS use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are intended to filter out noise from the earbuds' sound.
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro too use a noise-canceling type of microphone. Especially useful in noisy environments. JBL Reflect Aero TWS support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient noises so that they can still be heard even when wearing the earbuds
