Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero hence "diluting" the noise.
Google Pixel Buds Pro have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both devices ideal for flights and morning commutes. Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the mode that suits your travel or that suites your relaxation time.
