Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

Active noise cancellation uses advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
The JBL Wave Buds have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the devices ideal for flights and rush hour travels. The JBL Wave Buds and Jabra Evolve2 Buds operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your commute or that suites your chill time.

Driver Unit Size
JBL Wave Buds
8mm
Jabra Evolve2 Buds 6mm
The JBL Wave Buds have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, its size corellates with the sound produced by the earbuds.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Wave Buds by 2mm
, 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 imply that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
JBL Wave Buds
20Hz
Jabra Evolve2 Buds 20Hz
JBL Wave Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
JBL Wave Buds
20000Hz
Jabra Evolve2 Buds 20000Hz
JBL Wave Buds's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component generates high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
JBL Wave Buds
100dB/mW
Jabra Evolve2 Buds ✗
SPL, is the pressure level 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.
