ANC uses more advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
JBL Tune 130NC have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
