Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
Google Pixel Buds Pro have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX too have ANC which makes both devices ideal for flights and rush hour travels. Each operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that you prefer for travel or that suites your relaxation time.
