The Jabra Elite 7 Pro also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of 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 taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The JBL Tune Flex have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.

Jabra Elite 7 Pro driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Tune Flex by 6mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound. The JBL Tune Flex'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 alters the signal while at it.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
The JBL Tune Flex's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component makes high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can generate equal treble
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Tune Flex's measurement is 108dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
The JBL Tune Flex's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge.

more than that of JBL Tune Flex by 1 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time.

equal to that of the JBL Tune Flex
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. JBL Tune Flex have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth. Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the JBL Tune Flex
JBL Tune Flex support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio.
It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JBL Tune Flex will work well with your iPad.
If you are planning on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well. The JBL Tune Flex have 4 microphones. The Jabra Elite 7 Pro microphones are 8,
more than that of JBL Tune Flex by 4
. More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out noise.
JBL Tune Flex use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are designed to filter out noise from the earbuds' sound. The Jabra Elite 7 Pro too have a noise-canceling microphone. This is useful in noisy areas.
The JBL Tune Flex microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The size of the analog or digital output signal from the microphone with its input stimulus is a measure of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the earbud microphone can recognize.
