Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
JBL Reflect Aero TWS
✓
JBL Wave Beam ✓
ANC uses more advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
JBL Wave Beam have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS too have ANC which makes both earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels. The JBL Wave Beam and JBL Reflect Aero TWS operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that you prefer for commute or that suites your relaxation time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

JBL Wave Beam ✓
JBL Wave Beam stay well in place, this creates an acoustic covering that reduces your environment noise and also prevents the device sound from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that both limit ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
JBL Reflect Aero TWS
6.8mm
JBL Wave Beam 8mm
JBL Wave Beam driver unit is 8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the sound made by the device.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS driver unit is 6.8mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Wave Beam by 1.2mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
JBL Reflect Aero TWS
20Hz
JBL Wave Beam 20Hz
The JBL Wave Beam's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
JBL Reflect Aero TWS
20,000Hz
JBL Wave Beam 20,000Hz
The JBL Wave Beam's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
JBL Reflect Aero TWS
99dB/mW
JBL Wave Beam 100dB/mW
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured 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.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's sound pressure level measurement is 99dB/mW. How loud a device is can be perceived differently by separate persons, so we need to have the means to get a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
