Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero thus "diluting" the noise.

which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro by 3.8mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
