ANC makes use of advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
The Sony LinkBuds S too have Active Noise Cancellation making both devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels. The Jabra Elite 7 Pro and Sony LinkBuds S operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the mode that you prefer for travel or that enhances your relaxation time.

Driver Unit Size
Jabra Elite 7 Pro
6mm
Sony LinkBuds S 5mm
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a unit size of 6mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds.
Sony LinkBuds S driver unit is 5mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Jabra Elite 7 Pro by 1mm
, a common assumption 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Jabra Elite 7 Pro
20Hz
Sony LinkBuds S 20Hz
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Sony LinkBuds S's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Jabra Elite 7 Pro
20000Hz
Sony LinkBuds S 40000Hz
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device produces high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Sony LinkBuds S's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, this implies that
Sony LinkBuds S produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Jabra Elite 7 Pro
