Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds (2nd Gen) have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.

which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds (2nd Gen) by 5mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds (2nd Gen)'s lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Sony WF C700N's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Earbuds (2nd Gen)'s highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
