Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to actively counter noise.
How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 outside (noise from your surrounding) and adding -1 inside (counter sound within the device) to make 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 allow you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise.
Sony WH CH720N too have active noise cancellation making both devices ideal for plane rides and morning commutes. Each may work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting, mode, or noise cancellation type that you prefer for commute or that enhances your relaxation time. Low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on the way through.

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 got a clearer and crispier treble than the Sony WH CH720N
Sound pressure is the average variation in atmospheric pressure caused by the sound, the sound level .i.e how loud something is can be perceived differently by different people so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The sound pressure level, SPL, is the pressure level of a sound, measured in decibels, dB, Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95's measurement is 101.5dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Sony WH CH720N's sound pressure level measurement is 99dB/mW. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone. Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 driver unit is 40mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
Sony WH CH720N driver unit is 30mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 by 10mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty reproducing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better sound. Impedance is the device's resistance to the electromagnetic current, as electricity flows through a wire, it faces electrical resistance that counters the flow of current.
The resistance of a wire is measured in ohms. Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95's impedance is 12Ohms, the lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power. Sony WH CH720N's impedance is 31Ohms.
The impedance of earbuds is the electrical resistance of the driver unit present on the inside. Neodymium magnets when used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help produce music at quite a high sound pressure level, SPL, with the use of high magnetic flux.
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 have this type of magnet. If your headphones play wirelessly, cancel ambient noise, or enhance your listening experience with active features, their battery life will reduce over time.
