Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
The OnePlus Buds Z2 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 too have ANC which makes both devices ideal for plane rides and morning travels. The OnePlus Buds Z2 and Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your travel or that enhances your chill time.
