Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
JBL Live Pro 2

Huawei FreeBuds 5i ✓
Active noise cancellation uses advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Huawei FreeBuds 5i have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
The JBL Live Pro 2 too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the earbuds ideal for flights and morning commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your commute or that enhances your relaxation time.
