Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
JBL Wave Beam
✓
Beats Studio Buds ✓
ANC makes use of more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
JBL Wave Beam have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
The Beats Studio Buds too have ANC which makes both earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. The JBL Wave Beam and Beats Studio Buds operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that you prefer for commute or that enhances your relaxation time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

Beats Studio Buds ✓
The JBL Wave Beam sit tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise while preventing the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that they reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
JBL Wave Beam
8mm
Beats Studio Buds 8.2mm
JBL Wave Beam driver unit is 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, its 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
, many people have a misconception 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 mean that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
JBL Wave Beam
20hz
Beats Studio Buds 20hz
The JBL Wave Beam's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
JBL Wave Beam
20,000hz
Beats Studio Buds 20,000hz
JBL Wave Beam's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
JBL Wave Beam
100db/mw
Beats Studio Buds 100.5db/mw
The sound pressure level, 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.
Beats Studio Buds's sound pressure level measurement is 100.5dB/mW. How loud a device is can be taken differently by different persons, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
