Active noise cancellation uses advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise.
How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The JLab Epic Air Sport have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.

The JLab Epic Air Sport driver unit is 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the loudness of the earbuds. Google Pixel Buds Pro driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JLab Epic Air Sport by 3mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound. The JLab Epic Air Sport's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Google Pixel Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
JLab Epic Air Sport's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Google Pixel Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal treble
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, JLab Epic Air Sport's measurement is 110dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. Google Pixel Buds Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 75dB/mW.
The sound pressure level, something is can be perceived differently by different persons, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms. JLab Epic Air Sport's battery life is 15 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Google Pixel Buds Pro's battery life is
less than that of JLab Epic Air Sport by 4 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to. The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and JLab Epic Air Sport's case has a charge of 55 hours.
A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself. Google Pixel Buds Pro's charging case has a battery life of 20 hours,
less than that of JLab Epic Air Sport by 35 hours
