ANC uses advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds.
ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX driver unit is 9.2mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size determines the sound made by the device. JBL Reflect Aero TWS driver unit is 6.8mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 2.4mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound. Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX'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 while at it. JBL Reflect Aero TWS's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component makes high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
