ANC utilises more advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
The JBL Live Free 2 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels. The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and JBL Live Free 2 operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for travel or that enhances your chill time.

making them have a larger driver unit than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by 1mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.

Lowest Frequency
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
20Hz
JBL Live Free 2 20Hz
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.

both devices can make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
20000Hz
JBL Live Free 2 20000Hz
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
JBL Live Free 2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
25dB/mW
JBL Live Free 2 102dB/mW
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level 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.
JBL Live Free 2's sound pressure level measurement is 102dB/mW. How loud something is can be taken differently by different persons, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
