Scoring IPX4, the JBL Tune Flex's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. The JBL Tune Flex have a weight of 9.6g . We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.

Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds.

ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
