Soft box
When a soft box is placed around the light it creates almost a glow, it's used to light up the background in High Key Lighting. The soft box means the light produce is less harsh and doesn't white out someones face. They diffuse the light so it covers more space, the more soft boxes you use at once the more area you can cover, and the more evenly lit it looks.
Beauty Dish
A beauty dish can come in different sizes and is more of a direct light, because the dish is rounded it means the light creates less shadow because the light almost stretches around the side of the object / person in subject to the shot. Because the light is a lot harsher it can blur out a lot some imperfections if there are any.
Small Reflector + Honeycomb grid
The small reflector means it's almost a spotlight, directing the light on one point, it also creates a lot of shadow where the light isn't pointing.
The Honeycomb grid means that the light shines through the grid to create beam of light, the aim is to create a focused beam with as little diffusion as possible.
