Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

Huawei FreeBuds 5i ✓
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
Huawei FreeBuds 5i have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both devices ideal for flights and morning travels. The Huawei FreeBuds 5i and Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that you prefer for travel or that suites your relaxation time.

Driver Unit Size
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
10mm
Huawei FreeBuds 5i 10mm

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making both devices similar in how loud their sound gets
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
20Hz
Huawei FreeBuds 5i 20Hz
Huawei FreeBuds 5i's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
20000Hz
Huawei FreeBuds 5i 40000Hz
The Huawei FreeBuds 5i's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device generates high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
Huawei FreeBuds 5i generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
Sound Pressure Level
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
25dB/mW
Huawei FreeBuds 5i ✗
