Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)
✓
JBL Reflect Aero TWS ✓
ANC utilises advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS too have ANC which makes either of the earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour travels. Each work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the setting that suits your travel or that enhances your relaxation time.
