Both Jabra Elite 7 Pro and JBL Tune Flex have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero hence "diluting" the noise.
The JBL Tune Flex have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.

The JBL Tune Flex have a unit size of 12mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the loudness of the device. 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
, 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 yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
The JBL Tune Flex's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
The JBL Tune Flex's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device produces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices generate equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured 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. JBL Tune Flex's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's battery life is
more than that of JBL Tune Flex by 1 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.

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 earbuds to filter out background sounds. JBL Tune Flex have a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are intended to filter out background sounds from the earbuds' sound. The Jabra Elite 7 Pro too use a noise-canceling type of 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 calculation of its sensitivity.
It's the 'loudness' of the voice that the microphone can pick up. The JBL Tune Flex support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient sound to still be heard even when wearing the earbuds
