Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds.
ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
The JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.

The JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC driver unit is 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, its size determines the loudness of the device. Google Pixel Buds Pro driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC by 3mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound. The JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it. Google Pixel Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
The JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device produces high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Google Pixel Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC'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.
How loud a device 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. The JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's battery life is 15 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Google Pixel Buds Pro's battery life is
less than that of JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC by 4 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, 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 Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's case is said to have a full charge of 55 hours.
A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several 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 Audio Epic Air Sport ANC by 35 hours
It requires 3 hours to fully charge the JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for long periods.
