Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Apple AirPods (3rd Gen)
✓
Beats Studio Buds + ✓
Active noise cancellation uses advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Beats Studio Buds + have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
Apple AirPods (3rd Gen) too have ANC making either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the setting that you prefer for travel or that suites your relaxation time.
