Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
The Beats Studio Buds too have ANC which makes either of the devices ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) and Beats Studio Buds operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for commute or that enhances your chill time.
