ANC utilises advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
JBL Wave Buds have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
The Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro too have ANC making both earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels. The JBL Wave Buds and Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the setting that you prefer for travel or that enhances your relaxation time.
