Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro
✓
JBL Live Free 2 ✓
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
JBL Live Free 2 too have ANC which makes both devices ideal for flights and rush hour travels. The Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro and JBL Live Free 2 operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that suits your travel or that suites your relaxation time.

Driver Unit Size
Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro
10mm
JBL Live Free 2 11mm
The Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, its size determines the loudness of the device.
JBL Live Free 2 driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro by 1mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro
20Hz
JBL Live Free 2 20Hz
Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
JBL Live Free 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro
20000Hz
JBL Live Free 2 20000Hz
Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component generates high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
JBL Live Free 2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro
25dB/mW
JBL Live Free 2 102dB/mW
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro's measurement is 25dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
JBL Live Free 2's sound pressure level measurement is 102dB/mW. How loud a device is can be considered differently by separate people, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
