Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it.
In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.

which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Raycon Fitness Earbuds by 1.2mm
, 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it. JBL Reflect Aero's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
Raycon Fitness Earbuds can produce a juicier bass than the JBL Reflect Aero
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component generates high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through. JBL Reflect Aero's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
Raycon Fitness Earbuds can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Reflect Aero
