Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX 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 device volume to overcome background sounds.
The Sony LinkBuds S too have Active Noise Cancellation making both devices ideal for flights and morning commutes. The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX and Sony LinkBuds S work with different noise cancellation types, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for travel or that suites your chill time.

9.2mm
Sony LinkBuds S 5mm
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have a unit size of 9.2mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, its size determines the loudness of the earbuds.
Sony LinkBuds S driver unit is 5mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 4.2mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
