Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

Jabra Elite 5 ✓
Active noise cancellation utilises advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
Nuraphone NuraTrue 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 overcome background sounds.
Jabra Elite 5 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the devices ideal for plane rides and morning travels. Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for travel or that suites your relaxation time.
