Active noise cancellation uses more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
JBL Live Pro 2 too have Active Noise Cancellation making both earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II and JBL Live Pro 2 operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your commute or that enhances your chill time.
