Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
The Sony LinkBuds S too have ANC making both devices ideal for plane rides and morning travels. The Jabra Evolve2 Buds and Sony LinkBuds S operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your commute or that enhances your relaxation time.
