ANC utilises advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise.
ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX driver unit is 9.2mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the sound made by the device.
Nothing Ear 1 driver unit is 11.6mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 2.4mm
, as many tend to believe 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 imply that they deliver better quality sound. The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Nothing Ear 1'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 indicates how well a particular audio device makes high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. Nothing Ear 1's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
