Active noise cancellation uses more advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it studies 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) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
The JBL Endurance Peak 2 sit well in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces your environment sounds well as preventing the earbuds sound from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that they reduce ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
