Active noise cancellation utilises advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Live too have ANC which makes either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels. The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 and Samsung Galaxy Buds Live work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that you prefer for travel or that suites your relaxation time.
