Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
JBL Wave Buds

JBL Reflect Aero TWS ✓
ANC utilises advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The JBL Wave Buds have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS too have Active Noise Cancellation making both earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning commutes. Each work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that you prefer for commute or that enhances your relaxation time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

JBL Reflect Aero TWS ✓
The JBL Wave Buds sit tightly in place, creating a sound seal that reduces your environment sounds well as preventing the earbuds voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both JBL Reflect Aero TWS, and JBL Wave Buds have passive noise reduction this implies that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
JBL Wave Buds
8mm
JBL Reflect Aero TWS 6.8mm
The JBL Wave Buds have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the loudness of the device.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS driver unit is 6.8mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Wave Buds by 1.2mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
JBL Wave Buds
20Hz
JBL Reflect Aero TWS 20Hz
JBL Wave Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
JBL Wave Buds
20000Hz
JBL Reflect Aero TWS 20000Hz
JBL Wave Buds's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component generates high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
JBL Wave Buds
100dB/mW
JBL Reflect Aero TWS 99dB/mW
The sound pressure level, 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.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's sound pressure level measurement is 99dB/mW. The sound pressure level, something is can be considered differently by different people, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
