ANC uses more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro too have ANC making either of the earbuds ideal for flights and morning commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that you prefer for commute or that suites your relaxation time.

92dB/mW
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 97dB/mW
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, OnePlus Buds Pro 2's measurement is 97dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 92dB/mW. How loud a device is can be considered differently by separate people, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
