The Jabra Elite 7 Pro also have stereo speakers
ANC utilises more advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out.

both devices make sound with equal bass
The JBL Tune Flex's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates high human frequencies and if it adjustments 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.
