Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Nothing Ear 2 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.
