Active noise cancellation utilises advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
