ANC utilises advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out.
Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero thus "diluting" the noise.

Raycon Fitness Earbuds's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Apple AirPods (3rd Gen)'s lowest frequency is at 10Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device produces high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through. Apple AirPods (3rd Gen)'s highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
Raycon Fitness Earbuds can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Apple AirPods (3rd Gen)
