JBL Reflect Aero TWS are both dustproof and water-resistant.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS have stereo speakers, what this means is that JBL Reflect Aero TWS's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. The Nothing Ear 1 also have stereo speakers
ANC utilises advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out.
In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds. Nothing Ear 1 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the devices ideal for flights and morning travels.
Each operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that suits your travel or that suites your chill time. The JBL Reflect Aero TWS sit tightly in place, this creates a sound seal that tones down background sounds while preventing the earbuds music from leaking out .

A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the sound made by the device. Nothing Ear 1 driver unit is 11.6mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JBL Reflect Aero TWS by 4.8mm
, 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Nothing Ear 1'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 indicates how well an audio device produces high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through. Nothing Ear 1's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level 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. JBL Reflect Aero TWS's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.

The JBL Reflect Aero TWS have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Nothing Ear 1 has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
equal to that of the JBL Reflect Aero TWS
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. The JBL Reflect Aero TWS have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Nothing Ear 1 have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the JBL Reflect Aero TWS
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS have 6 microphones. While the Nothing Ear 1 microphones are 6,
equal to that of the JBL Reflect Aero TWS
. More microphones record better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out background sounds. JBL Reflect Aero TWS have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are intended to reduce background sounds from the desired sound.
The Nothing Ear 1 too have a noise-canceling type of microphone. This is useful in noisy environments. The JBL Reflect Aero TWS support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient sound to still be heard even when wearing the earbuds
