making both devices similar in how loud their sound gets
, 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 mean that they produce better quality sound.
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it. JBL Wave Beam's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Raycon Fitness Earbuds can make sound with a juicier bass than the JBL Wave Beam
Raycon Fitness Earbuds's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device generates high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. JBL Wave Beam's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
Raycon Fitness Earbuds generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Wave Beam

JBL Wave Beam has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
older than that of Raycon Fitness Earbuds
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.

less than that of Raycon Fitness Earbuds by 2
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out noise.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds use a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are made to filter out noise from the desired sound. The JBL Wave Beam too use a noise-canceling microphone. Especially useful in noisy environments.
