Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

Bowers & Wilkins PI7 ✓

JBL Endurance Peak ✓

Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero thus "diluting" the noise.

The JBL Endurance Peak have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
