Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

Bowers & Wilkins PI7 ✓

JBL Endurance Peak 2 ✗

ANC utilises more advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
