Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.

The JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC and JBL Reflect Aero TWS operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for travel or that enhances your chill time.
