Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

JBL Wave Beam ✓
ANC makes use of advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
The JBL Wave Beam too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for commute or that enhances your chill time.

Driver Unit Size
JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC
8mm
JBL Wave Beam 8mm
JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the device.
JBL Wave Beam driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
making both devices similar in how loud their sound gets
, 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 yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC
20Hz
JBL Wave Beam 20Hz
The JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Wave Beam's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC
20,000Hz
JBL Wave Beam 20,000Hz
JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Wave Beam's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC
110dB/mW
JBL Wave Beam 100dB/mW
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's measurement is 110dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
JBL Wave Beam's sound pressure level measurement is 100dB/mW. The sound pressure level, something is can be taken differently by different people, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
