Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

Active noise cancellation uses advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero hence "diluting" the noise.
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing 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.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation making both earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels. Each operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the setting that suits your travel or that suites your relaxation time.

11mm
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro 10mm
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 have a unit size of 11mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, its size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of OnePlus Buds Pro 2 by 1mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.

Sound Pressure Level
OnePlus Buds Pro 2
97db/mw
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro 25db/mw
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level 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.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 25dB/mW. How loud a device is can be considered differently by different people, so we need to have the means to get a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
