Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
JBL Wave Buds
✓
JBL Tour Pro 2 ✓
ANC makes use of more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
JBL Wave Buds have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
JBL Tour Pro 2 too have ANC which makes either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels. Each operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that you prefer for travel or that suites your chill time.

Driver Unit Size
JBL Wave Buds
8mm
JBL Tour Pro 2 10mm
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 the component that makes sound in the device, its size corellates with the loudness of the device.
JBL Tour Pro 2 driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JBL Wave Buds by 2mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
JBL Wave Buds
20Hz
JBL Tour Pro 2 20Hz
JBL Wave Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Tour Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
JBL Wave Buds
20000Hz
JBL Tour Pro 2 20000Hz
JBL Wave Buds's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Tour Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
JBL Wave Buds
100dB/mW
JBL Tour Pro 2 ✗
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.
