Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

JBL Tune Flex ✓
ANC utilises more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the 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.
The Nothing Ear 2 too have ANC making either of the devices ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. The JBL Tune Flex and Nothing Ear 2 work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the setting that you prefer for commute or that enhances your chill time.

which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Tune Flex by 0.4mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
