Both Nothing Ear 1 and Beats Studio Buds have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.

The Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through. Nothing Ear 1's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through. Nothing Ear 1's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
