The JBL Reflect Aero TWS also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the devices ideal for flights and morning commutes. Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that you prefer for travel or that enhances your relaxation time.

Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro driver unit is 13mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size corellates with the sound produced by 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 Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro by 6.2mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
The Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component generates high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
