Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)

Active Noise Cancellation uses built-in microphones to listen to your surroundings and creates inverse sound waves to cancel out background noise. This requires extra battery power but provides an immersive listening experience. 50dB is considered industry-leading, while 25dB-30dB is entry-level.
