Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3
✓
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) ✓
ANC utilises advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the devices ideal for plane rides and morning commutes. The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) and Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the setting that suits your travel or that suites your relaxation time.
