The Nothing Ear 1 also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds. The Nothing Ear 1 too have ANC making both devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that suits your travel or that enhances your relaxation time.
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS sit well in place, creating a sound seal that tones down background sounds and also prevents the device music from leaking out .

JBL Reflect Aero TWS have a unit size of 6.8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size dictates 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 yes, larger drivers are capable of generating 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 measures if and how well an audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Nothing Ear 1's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device generates high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through. Nothing Ear 1's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can generate 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.
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 given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. Nothing Ear 1's battery life is
less than that of JBL Reflect Aero TWS by 3 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time.
The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. This is given by the manufacturer, and JBL Reflect Aero TWS's case is said to have a full charge of 16 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself.

The JBL Reflect Aero TWS support USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
Nothing Ear 1 too support USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics. The JBL Reflect Aero TWS have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, 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.
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 device to filter out background sounds. The JBL Reflect Aero TWS use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are designed to reduce noise from the earbuds' sound. The Nothing Ear 1 too use a noise-canceling type of microphone.
Especially useful in noisy areas. The JBL Reflect Aero TWS support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises to still be heard even when wearing the earbuds
The Nothing Ear 1 support ambient sound mode as well, helpful when you want to listen to music but also be aware of what’s happening around you, say you’re having a run but still want to hear traffic. The JBL Reflect Aero TWS support fast charging.
