ANC utilises advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
JBL Wave Beam have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.
Huawei FreeBuds 5 too have ANC which makes both earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning travels. Each operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that suits your travel or that enhances your relaxation time.
