Active noise cancellation (ANC) is a popular technology used in headphones, earbuds, and other audio devices. Designed to reduce unwanted ambient sounds by creating an “anti-noise” signal that cancels out the incoming noise, this technology is particularly a must-have for people who work or travel in noisy environments. Alternatively, if you want to tune out your surroundings and zone into your chosen sound, ANC is the device you can’t live without!
How Does Active Noise Cancellation Work?
Active noise cancellation works by using microphones to detect incoming noise and then creating an opposite sound wave to cancel it out. The technology relies on a concept known as destructive interference, which occurs when two waves of equal amplitude, but opposite phases cancel each other out.
In ANC headphones, for example, a microphone picks up external sounds and sends the signal to an ANC chip. The chip then generates a sound wave with the opposite amplitude and phase, which is fed back into the headphones. This creates a new sound wave that effectively cancels out the incoming noise, resulting in a quieter listening experience.

On the other hand…
