Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing 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 sounds.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. Each work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that you prefer for commute or that suites your relaxation time.
