Both Skullcandy Indy Fuel and JBL Reflect Aero TWS have stereo speakers
ANC utilises more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS have ANC allowing 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 sounds.

Skullcandy Indy Fuel driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Reflect Aero TWS by 0.8mm
, a common assumption 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 imply 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 recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel'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 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device produces high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices can generate equal treble
SPL, 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.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel's sound pressure level measurement is 105dB/mW. How loud something is can be considered differently by separate persons, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
