Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

✓
JBL Wave Beam ✓
ANC uses advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
The JBL Wave Beam have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.
The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) too have ANC which makes either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels. Each operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your commute or that enhances your chill time.

The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the loudness of the device.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JBL Wave Beam by 3mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)
20Hz
JBL Wave Beam 20Hz
The JBL Wave Beam's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)
20,000Hz
JBL Wave Beam 20,000Hz
JBL Wave Beam's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)
✗
JBL Wave Beam 100dB/mW
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Wave Beam's measurement is 100dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
