Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
Beats Studio Buds Plus have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
JBL Wave Buds too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the devices ideal for flights and rush hour travels. The Beats Studio Buds Plus and JBL Wave Buds operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that suits your travel or that suites your relaxation time.
