ANC makes use of advanced kind of tech to actively counter 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) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 have Active Noise Cancellation 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 sounds.
The Nothing Ear 1 too have ANC making both earbuds ideal for flights and morning commutes. The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 and Nothing Ear 1 operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that you prefer for commute or that enhances your chill time.
