Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
JBL Wave Buds

JBL Tune Flex ✓
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
JBL Tune Flex have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.
The JBL Wave Buds too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels. Each operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the mode that you prefer for travel or that suites your relaxation time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

JBL Tune Flex ✓
JBL Tune Flex stay tightly in place, this creates a sound seal that tones down background sounds and also prevents the earbuds sound from leaking out at the same.
Both JBL Wave Buds, and JBL Tune Flex have passive noise reduction which implies that they reduce ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
JBL Wave Buds
8mm
JBL Tune Flex 12mm
The JBL Tune Flex driver unit is 12mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the sound made by the device.
JBL Wave Buds driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Tune Flex by 4mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
JBL Wave Buds
20Hz
JBL Tune Flex 20Hz
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 alters the signal while at it.
JBL Wave Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
JBL Wave Buds
20,000Hz
JBL Tune Flex 20,000Hz
The JBL Tune Flex's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
JBL Wave Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
JBL Wave Buds
100dB/mW
JBL Tune Flex 108dB/mW
The sound pressure level, 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.
JBL Wave Buds's sound pressure level measurement is 100dB/mW. The sound pressure level, something is can be taken differently by different persons, so we need to have the means to get a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
