ANC utilises advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving zero thus "diluting" the noise.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.
Jabra Elite 5 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels. Each operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your travel or that enhances your relaxation time.

A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the sound produced by the earbuds.
Jabra Elite 5 driver unit is 6mm 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 usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Jabra Evolve2 Buds
20Hz
Jabra Elite 5 20Hz
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Jabra Elite 5's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
Jabra Evolve2 Buds
20000Hz
Jabra Elite 5 20000Hz
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Jabra Elite 5's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices generate equal treble
