ANC makes use of advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
The OnePlus Buds Z2 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro too have ANC making both earbuds ideal for flights and morning commutes. The OnePlus Buds Z2 and Jabra Elite 7 Pro work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for travel or that suites your chill time.

which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of OnePlus Buds Z2 by 5mm
, as many tend to believe 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Jabra Elite 7 Pro
20Hz
OnePlus Buds Z2 20Hz
OnePlus Buds Z2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.

both devices can make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Jabra Elite 7 Pro
20000Hz
OnePlus Buds Z2 20000Hz
The OnePlus Buds Z2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
