Active noise cancellation uses more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both earbuds ideal for flights and morning commutes. The Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro and Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that suits your commute or that suites your chill time.
