Active noise cancellation makes use of 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 cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 hence "diluting" the noise.

The Jabra Elite 5 too have ANC which makes either of the devices ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that suits your travel or that suites your relaxation time.
