Active noise cancellation uses advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds.
ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.

making them have a larger driver unit than that of Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 by 1.7mm
, many people have a misconception 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 indicate that they produce better quality sound. Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2's battery life is 6 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge.
