Active noise cancellation utilises advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Sony LinkBuds S have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
JBL Live Pro 2 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning travels. The Sony LinkBuds S and JBL Live Pro 2 operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that suits your travel or that enhances your relaxation time.
