Active noise cancellation utilises advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
The OnePlus Buds Z2 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 noise.
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the devices ideal for flights and morning commutes. The OnePlus Buds Z2 and Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro work with different noise cancellation types, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your travel or that enhances your relaxation time.
