Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Hybrid ANC are both technologies used to reduce ambient noise in headphones, earbuds, and other audio devices, but they have some differences:
1. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC): ANC uses microphones to pick up ambient noises and then produce anti-phase sound waves to neutralize those noises. ANC systems can suppress a wide range of frequencies and can be effective in reducing constant, predictable noises like airplane noise or air conditioners.
2. Hybrid ANC: Hybrid ANC combines active noise cancellation with passive noise cancellation techniques, such as sealing ear cushions or using special materials to absorb sound. It also uses multiple microphones and advanced algorithms to more accurately detect and eliminate ambient noises. Hybrid ANC systems are generally more effective in suppressing different types of noises, including both low and high frequencies, and they can perform better in complex sound environments.
Overall, Hybrid ANC is often considered a more advanced and effective form of noise cancellation than traditional ANC, but this can vary depending on the specific implementation and quality of the technology in a particular device.
