IP ratings is the level of protection offered by a casing, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IP68, the JBL Reflect Aero TWS's rating is read as, the first value of 6 denotes that they are completely dust proof, and of liquids that they are protected against the effects of continuous immersion in water, ingress of water in quantities causing harmful effects shall not be possible. Conditions should be more severe than for numeral 7..

no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
Sony WF C500 has a lower liquid rating than JBL Reflect Aero TWS

JBL Reflect Aero TWS have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Sony WF C500 and JBL Reflect Aero TWS have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced technology to actively counter noise.
How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero therefore "diluting" the 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 earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.

which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Reflect Aero TWS by 1mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers can generate 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 inidcates how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Sony WF C500'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 indicates how well a particular audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Sony WF C500's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that both devices can generate equal treble SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Reflect Aero TWS's measurement is 99dB/mW.
