ANC makes use of advanced technology to actively cancel noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Live have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 too have Active Noise Cancellation making both earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. The Samsung Galaxy Buds Live and Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the setting that you prefer for travel or that suites your chill time.
