Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out.
Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds. The JBL Live Pro 2 too have ANC which makes either of the devices ideal for flights and morning travels.

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. JBL Live Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device makes high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Live Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
