Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

Beats Fit Pro ✓
ANC makes use of advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Beats Fit Pro have ANC enabling 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.
Sony LinkBuds S too have ANC making either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. Each work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that suits your commute or that suites your relaxation time.
