Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
JBL Live Pro 2
✓
Skullcandy Indy Fuel ✗
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
The JBL Live Pro 2 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.

Driver Unit Size
JBL Live Pro 2
11mm
Skullcandy Indy Fuel 6mm
The Skullcandy Indy Fuel driver unit is 6mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the sound produced by the device.
JBL Live Pro 2 driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Skullcandy Indy Fuel by 5mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
JBL Live Pro 2
20Hz
Skullcandy Indy Fuel 20Hz
The Skullcandy Indy Fuel's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Live Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
JBL Live Pro 2
20000Hz
Skullcandy Indy Fuel 20000Hz
The Skullcandy Indy Fuel's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Live Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
JBL Live Pro 2
93dB/mW
Skullcandy Indy Fuel 105dB/mW
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, Skullcandy Indy Fuel's measurement is 105dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
JBL Live Pro 2's sound pressure level measurement is 93dB/mW. How loud a device is can be perceived differently by separate persons, so we need to have the means to get a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
