ANC makes use of 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 then generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero thus "diluting" the noise.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the earbuds ideal for flights and morning commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the mode that suits your commute or that suites your chill time.
