ANC utilises advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.

A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the device.
JBL Wave Buds driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of OnePlus Buds Pro 2 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 yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.

OnePlus Buds Pro 2
97dB/mW
JBL Wave Buds 100dB/mW
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, 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.
JBL Wave Buds's sound pressure level measurement is 100dB/mW. The sound pressure level, something is can be considered differently by separate persons, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
