ANC utilises advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Huawei FreeBuds 5 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS too have ANC making both devices ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. The Huawei FreeBuds 5 and JBL Reflect Aero TWS operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that you prefer for commute or that suites your chill time.
