Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) ✓
Active noise cancellation utilises advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Devialet Gemini 2 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
The Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) too have Active Noise Cancellation making both earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels. The Devialet Gemini 2 and Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for travel or that enhances your relaxation time.

Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Devialet Gemini 2 by 1mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Devialet Gemini 2
5Hz
Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) 10Hz
The Devialet Gemini 2's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Apple AirPods (3rd Gen)'s lowest frequency is at 10Hz, this means that
Devialet Gemini 2 produce a juicier bass than the Apple AirPods (3rd Gen)
Highest Frequency
Devialet Gemini 2
20,000Hz
Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) 20,000Hz
Devialet Gemini 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component makes high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Apple AirPods (3rd Gen)'s highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Devialet Gemini 2
120dB/mW
Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) ✗
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Devialet Gemini 2's measurement is 120dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
