Active noise cancellation uses more advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.

both devices can make sound with equal bass
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. JBL Live Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
