ANC

Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) is a technology used in headphones to reduce unwanted background noise. It works by using microphones to pick up surrounding sounds and then generating sound waves that are the exact opposite, known as "antinoise." When these opposite waves meet, they cancel each other out, making the environment quieter for the listener. ANC is especially effective against consistent, low-frequency noises like engine hums or air conditioning. This creates a more peaceful listening experience without needing to raise the volume, helping to protect your hearing and improve clarity when listening to music or making calls.
