ANC utilises more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
The Nothing Ear 1 too have ANC making both earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning commutes. The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro and Nothing Ear 1 operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that you prefer for travel or that enhances your chill time.
