OnePlus Buds Z2 ✓
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
OnePlus Buds Z2 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
JBL Live Pro 2 too have ANC making both earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. The OnePlus Buds Z2 and JBL Live Pro 2 operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for travel or that suites your relaxation time.
