Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

Samsung Galaxy Buds Live ✓
ANC uses more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero hence "diluting" the noise.
The JBL Wave Beam have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Live too have ANC making both earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels. The JBL Wave Beam and Samsung Galaxy Buds Live work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that suits your commute or that enhances your relaxation time.

Driver Unit Size
JBL Wave Beam
8mm
Samsung Galaxy Buds Live 12mm
JBL Wave Beam driver unit is 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the device.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Live driver unit is 12mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JBL Wave Beam by 4mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
JBL Wave Beam
20hz
Samsung Galaxy Buds Live 20hz
JBL Wave Beam's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Live's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
JBL Wave Beam
20,000hz
Samsung Galaxy Buds Live 20,000hz
The JBL Wave Beam's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Live's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
JBL Wave Beam
100db/mw
Samsung Galaxy Buds Live ✗
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.
