Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

Sony WF C500 ✗

JBL Endurance Peak ✓

ANC utilises advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
