Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
JBL Wave Beam have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
The JBL Wave Buds too have Active Noise Cancellation making both devices ideal for plane rides and morning commutes. The JBL Wave Beam and JBL Wave Buds work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that you prefer for travel or that enhances your chill time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

JBL Wave Beam ✓
The JBL Wave Beam stay tightly in place, this creates an acoustic seal that reduces your environment sounds and also prevents the earbuds sound from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
JBL Wave Buds
8mm
JBL Wave Beam 8mm
JBL Wave Beam have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the sound made by the earbuds.
JBL Wave Buds driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
making both devices similar in how loud their sound can get
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
JBL Wave Buds
20Hz
JBL Wave Beam 20Hz
JBL Wave Beam's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
JBL Wave Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
JBL Wave Buds
20,000Hz
JBL Wave Beam 20,000Hz
JBL Wave Beam's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
JBL Wave Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
JBL Wave Buds
100dB/mW
JBL Wave Beam 100dB/mW
SPL, is the level of pressure 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 Wave Buds's sound pressure level measurement is 100dB/mW. The sound pressure level, something is can be perceived differently by separate people, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
