ANC makes use of advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Technics EAH AZ60 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
