Active noise cancellation uses advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.

The JBL Live Pro 2 too have ANC making both devices ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your travel or that suites your relaxation time.
