Passive Noise Cancellation uses well-designed ear cups to seal out environment noise.
This is used for both in-ear earphones and over-ear headphones where the headphone itself will keep surrounding noise out. The JBL Tune 520BT sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out. Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that also the Anker Soundcore Space Q45 isolates you from ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. JBL Tune 520BT's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass. Anker Soundcore Space Q45's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
High frequency response measures if and how well an audio component reproduces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.

Anker Soundcore Space Q45 got a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Tune 520BT
Sound pressure is the average variation in atmospheric pressure caused by the sound, the sound level .i.e how loud something is can be perceived differently by different people so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The sound pressure level, SPL, is the pressure level of a sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Tune 520BT's measurement is 103dB/mW.
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. Anker Soundcore Space Q45's sound pressure level measurement is 100dB/mW. The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone.
JBL Tune 520BT driver unit is 30mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass. Anker Soundcore Space Q45 driver unit is 40mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JBL Tune 520BT by 10mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty reproducing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better sound.
Defined as the device's resistance to the electromagnetic current, when electricity flows through a wire, it experiences electrical resistance that counters the flow of current. The resistance of a conductor is measured in ohms. JBL Tune 520BT's impedance is 32Ohms, the lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
Anker Soundcore Space Q45's impedance is 16Ohms. The impedance of earbuds is the electrical resistance of the driver unit present on the inside. If your headphones play wirelessly, cancel ambient noise, or enhance your listening experience with active features, their battery life will reduce over time.
The device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. JBL Tune 520BT's battery life is 57 hours
Anker Soundcore Space Q45's battery life is 40 hours. Each time you recharge your headphones, they get a little less listening time.
