Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
Huawei FreeBuds 5 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS too have ANC making both earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. The Huawei FreeBuds 5 and JBL Reflect Aero TWS work with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that suits your commute or that enhances your chill time.
