Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero hence "diluting" the noise.
The Nothing Ear 2 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 noise.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels. The Nothing Ear 2 and JBL Reflect Aero TWS operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that suits your commute or that enhances your chill time.
