IP ratings refer to the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX4, the JBL Tune Flex's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. Compared to the JBL Tune Flex, Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a rating of IP57 meaning that
ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety

ANC makes use of advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out.
In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
The JBL Tune Flex have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.

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 find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
JBL Tune Flex's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
JBL Tune Flex's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device makes high recognizable 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 pressure level 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. JBL Tune Flex's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.

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. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.

Jabra Elite 7 Pro microphones are 8,
more than that of JBL Tune Flex by 4
. More microphones record better sound quality and enable the device to filter out noise. JBL Tune Flex have a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are intended to filter out background sounds from the desired sound. The Jabra Elite 7 Pro too use a noise-canceling microphone.
Especially useful in noisy areas. The JBL Tune Flex microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The extent of the analog or digital output signal from the microphone with its input stimulus is a measure of its sensitivity.
