Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
JBL Wave Beam
✓
JBL Tour Pro 2 ✓
ANC makes use of advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
The JBL Wave Beam have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
The JBL Tour Pro 2 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both devices ideal for flights and rush hour travels. The JBL Wave Beam and JBL Tour Pro 2 operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that suits your commute or that enhances your chill time.

A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size determines the loudness of the earbuds.
JBL Tour Pro 2 driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JBL Wave Beam by 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
JBL Wave Beam
20Hz
JBL Tour Pro 2 20Hz
JBL Wave Beam's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.

both devices produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
JBL Wave Beam
20,000Hz
JBL Tour Pro 2 20,000Hz
JBL Wave Beam's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
JBL Tour Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal treble
