ANC uses advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro have Active Noise Cancellation enabling 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 JBL Tour Pro 2 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels. Each work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that you prefer for commute or that suites your chill time.
