Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

JBL LIVE 300 ✗
ANC makes use of more advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
The JBL Tune 230NC have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

JBL LIVE 300 ✓
The JBL Tune 230NC stay tightly in place, creating a sound seal that tones down your environment sounds while preventing the earbuds voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both JBL LIVE 300, and JBL Tune 230NC have passive noise reduction which implies that they limit ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
JBL Tune 230NC
6mm
JBL LIVE 300 5.8mm
The JBL Tune 230NC driver unit is 6mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, its size corellates with the sound made by the device.
JBL LIVE 300 driver unit is 5.8mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Tune 230NC by 0.2mm
, a common assumption 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
JBL Tune 230NC
20hz
JBL LIVE 300 20hz
The JBL Tune 230NC's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL LIVE 300's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
JBL Tune 230NC
20,000hz
JBL LIVE 300 20,000hz
The JBL Tune 230NC's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL LIVE 300's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
JBL Tune 230NC
105db/mw
JBL LIVE 300 95db/mw
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Tune 230NC's measurement is 105dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
JBL LIVE 300's sound pressure level measurement is 95dB/mW. The sound pressure level, something is can be taken differently by separate persons, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
