Active noise cancellation uses more advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) giving zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Beats Studio Buds Plus have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
The JBL Live Free 2 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels. The Beats Studio Buds Plus and JBL Live Free 2 operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your commute or that suites your chill time.
