Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.

making them have a larger driver unit than that of Soundpeats Mini Pro by 1mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
The JBL Live Free 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device generates low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
The JBL Live Free 2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device produces high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Live Free 2's measurement is 102dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
