Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
✓
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) ✓
ANC utilises advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
The Audio Technica ATH TWX9 too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that you prefer for travel or that enhances your chill time.
