ANC makes use of advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
JBL Tour Pro 2 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
The Sony LinkBuds S too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels. The JBL Tour Pro 2 and Sony LinkBuds S operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your commute or that suites your relaxation time.

which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Tour Pro 2 by 5mm
, 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Sony LinkBuds S
20Hz
JBL Tour Pro 2 20Hz
