ANC makes use of advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero hence "diluting" the noise.
The Huawei FreeBuds 5 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.

which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Huawei FreeBuds 5 by 5mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.

Lowest Frequency
Huawei FreeBuds 5
16hz
JLab Go Air Pop 20hz
The Huawei FreeBuds 5's lowest frequency is at 16Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
