ANC uses more advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.

Jabra Evolve2 Buds driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by 4mm
, many people have a misconception 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 mean that they produce better quality sound. The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component generates high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's measurement is 25dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's battery life is
more than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by 2 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time.
The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. This is given by the manufacturer, and the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's case has a charge of 18 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
more than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by 3 hours
