Active noise cancellation uses more advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero thus "diluting" the noise.
Huawei FreeBuds 5i have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the earbuds ideal for flights and morning commutes. The Huawei FreeBuds 5i and Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that you prefer for travel or that enhances your chill time.
