ANC utilises more advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. 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 taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
The JBL Tour Pro 2 too have ANC making both earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning travels. The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and JBL Tour Pro 2 work with different noise cancellation types, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your travel or that suites your chill time.
