Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) ✓
ANC utilises more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, 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 Buds have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the devices ideal for flights and rush hour travels. The JBL Wave Buds and Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that you prefer for commute or that enhances your chill time.

Driver Unit Size
JBL Wave Buds
8mm
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) 11mm

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JBL Wave Buds by 3mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
JBL Wave Buds
20Hz
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) 20Hz
The JBL Wave Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.

both devices make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
JBL Wave Buds
20000Hz
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) 20000Hz
JBL Wave Buds's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device generates high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
JBL Wave Buds
100dB/mW
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) ✗
