Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

Active noise cancellation utilises advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
The Google Pixel Buds Pro have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels. The Google Pixel Buds Pro and Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that you prefer for travel or that suites your relaxation time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

Google Pixel Buds Pro ✓
Google Pixel Buds Pro sit tightly in place, creating a sound covering that reduces background sounds and also prevents the device sound from leaking out at the same.
Both Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro, and Google Pixel Buds Pro have passive noise reduction which implies that both limit ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro
10.6mm
Google Pixel Buds Pro 11mm
Google Pixel Buds Pro have a unit size of 11mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, the unit size dictates the sound produced by the device.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro driver unit is 10.6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Google Pixel Buds Pro by 0.4mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro
20Hz
Google Pixel Buds Pro 20Hz
Google Pixel Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro
40,000Hz
Google Pixel Buds Pro 20,000Hz
Google Pixel Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this implies that
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Google Pixel Buds Pro
Sound Pressure Level
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro
92dB/mW
Google Pixel Buds Pro 75dB/mW
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Google Pixel Buds Pro's measurement is 75dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 92dB/mW. How loud something is can be perceived differently by separate persons, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
