Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 outside (noise from your surrounding) and adding -1 inside (counter sound within the device) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.

Impedance

Technics EAH A800 34Ohms

Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless 32Ohms

Impedance is the device's resistance to the electromagnetic current, as electricity flows through a conductor, it faces electrical resistance that counters the flow of current. The resistance of a conductor is measured in ohms. Skullcandy Hesh Evo Wireless's impedance is 32Ohms, the lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.

Technics EAH A800's impedance is 34Ohms. The impedance of earbuds is the electrical resistance of the driver unit present on the inside.
