Active noise cancellation utilises advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to counter it.
In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.

Raycon Fitness Earbuds can make sound with a juicier bass than the Bose QuietComfort 2
Raycon Fitness Earbuds's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Bose QuietComfort 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
Raycon Fitness Earbuds can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Bose QuietComfort 2
