ANC utilises more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. 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.
