Active noise cancellation uses advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out.

making them have a larger driver unit than that of Devialet Gemini 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
Devialet Gemini's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Xiaomi Redmi Buds 4 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
Devialet Gemini can make sound with a juicier bass than the Xiaomi Redmi Buds 4 Pro
Devialet Gemini's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Xiaomi Redmi Buds 4 Pro's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, this implies that
Xiaomi Redmi Buds 4 Pro can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Devialet Gemini
