Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

JBL Wave Buds ✓
Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
JBL Wave Buds have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro too have ANC making both earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. The JBL Wave Buds and Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your travel or that suites your relaxation time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

JBL Wave Buds ✓
JBL Wave Buds sit tightly in place, this creates a sound seal that tones down your environment noise and also prevents the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro
10.6mm
JBL Wave Buds 8mm
The JBL Wave Buds have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, its size determines the loudness of the device.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro driver unit is 10.6mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JBL Wave Buds by 2.6mm
, many people have a misconception 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro
20hz
JBL Wave Buds 20hz
JBL Wave Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro
40,000hz
JBL Wave Buds 20,000hz
The JBL Wave Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device generates high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this implies that
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Wave Buds
Sound Pressure Level
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro
92db/mw
JBL Wave Buds 100db/mw
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Wave Buds's measurement is 100dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 92dB/mW. How loud a device is can be perceived differently by different persons, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
