Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Beats Studio Buds
✓
JBL Wave Beam ✓
Active noise cancellation utilises advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
The JBL Wave Beam have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.
Beats Studio Buds too have Active Noise Cancellation making both earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels. The JBL Wave Beam and Beats Studio Buds work with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that you prefer for commute or that enhances your chill time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

✓
JBL Wave Beam ✓
JBL Wave Beam stay tightly in place, this creates an acoustic covering that reduces your environment noise well as preventing the device sound from leaking out .
Both Beats Studio Buds, and JBL Wave Beam have passive noise reduction this implies that they limit ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Beats Studio Buds
8.2mm
JBL Wave Beam 8mm
JBL Wave Beam driver unit is 8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the loudness of the device.
Beats Studio Buds driver unit is 8.2mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JBL Wave Beam by 0.2mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Beats Studio Buds
20Hz
JBL Wave Beam 20Hz
JBL Wave Beam's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Beats Studio Buds
20,000Hz
JBL Wave Beam 20,000Hz
The JBL Wave Beam's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Beats Studio Buds
100.5dB/mW
JBL Wave Beam 100dB/mW
SPL, is the pressure level 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.
Beats Studio Buds's sound pressure level measurement is 100.5dB/mW. How loud something is can be taken differently by separate persons, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
