Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes 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) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Sony WF 1000XM3 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation making both devices ideal for flights and morning commutes. The Sony WF 1000XM3 and Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that suits your travel or that suites your chill time.
