Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
JBL Tune 130NC

Nothing Ear 1 ✓
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
JBL Tune 130NC have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
Nothing Ear 1 too have ANC making both earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour travels. Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the mode that you prefer for travel or that enhances your relaxation time.

Driver Unit Size
JBL Tune 130NC
10mm
Nothing Ear 1 11.6mm
The JBL Tune 130NC driver unit is 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.

making them have a larger driver unit than that of JBL Tune 130NC by 1.6mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
JBL Tune 130NC
20hz
Nothing Ear 1 20hz
The JBL Tune 130NC's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device produces 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 make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
JBL Tune 130NC
20,000hz
Nothing Ear 1 20,000hz
JBL Tune 130NC's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Nothing Ear 1's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
JBL Tune 130NC
103db/mw
Nothing Ear 1 ✗
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Tune 130NC's measurement is 103dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
