Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
JBL Tour Pro 2
✓
JLab Go Air ✗
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The JBL Tour Pro 2 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.

The JLab Go Air sit tightly in place, this creates a sound seal that reduces your environment noise while preventing the device music from leaking out at the same.
Both JBL Tour Pro 2, and JLab Go Air have passive noise reduction which means that they tone down ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
JBL Tour Pro 2
10mm
JLab Go Air 8mm
The JLab Go Air have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are 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 device.
JBL Tour Pro 2 driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JLab Go Air by 2mm
, many people have a misconception 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
JBL Tour Pro 2
20Hz
JLab Go Air 20Hz
JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
JBL Tour Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
JBL Tour Pro 2
20,000Hz
JLab Go Air 20,000Hz
The JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Tour Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
JBL Tour Pro 2
✗
JLab Go Air 103dB/mW
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JLab Go Air's measurement is 103dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
