ANC makes use of advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.

Lowest Frequency
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
20hz
Jabra Elite 5 20hz
Audio Technica ATH TWX9's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
Jabra Elite 5's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
40,000hz
Jabra Elite 5 20,000hz
Audio Technica ATH TWX9's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
