#4

Active noise cancellation drew the strongest agreement: reviewers repeatedly called it excellent, impressive, or among the best in true wireless earbuds.

ANC is a large improvement over earlier Momentum earbuds and handles commuting, aircraft rumble, offices and low-frequency noise very well. It is usually judged just short of the strongest Apple,...

#13

ANC is widely considered strong and useful, particularly against steady travel, fan and city noise. It is not universally class-leading, and some reviewers report weaker performance, fit sensitivity or occasional...

Most reviewers rate ANC highly, with several calling it excellent or top tier, though one subway-focused test found it only barely adequate in very loud environments.

#15

Reviewers generally found ANC strong for the price, especially against low, steady noise, though several noted weaker performance against voices, high frequencies, or premium ANC competitors.

#16

Reviewers generally find ANC good to very good, strong for commute noise, though several say Sony or Bose can still block more.

ANC is broadly seen as good to impressive for everyday noise, though several reviewers note it is not the strongest at this price or for deep low-frequency rumble.

#19

Noise cancellation is one of the clearest strengths, with reviewers praising how effectively it dulled or blocked low-frequency and everyday noise for the price.

#23

ANC earned broad praise for the price, often described as effective or impressive, but it was not consistently top-tier and struggled more with mid/high frequencies.

Cancellation usually reduces engine hum, traffic, and travel noise well for the price, but voices and higher sounds often remain audible. Improvements over older Nothing buds vary with fit, and...

#25

ANC is generally usable to good, but it is not the product’s strongest feature; reviewers often note rivals perform better or consistency varies.

ANC was broadly usable for offices, commutes and everyday noise, but many reviewers said it trails AirPods, Bose, Samsung or other high-end competition.

#27

Reviewers broadly found ANC useful, especially for steady noise, but several said it trails the best earbuds, depends on seal, or struggles with wind and voices.

#28

ANC is usually praised as strong for the price and useful for commutes or steady noise, but reviewers repeatedly note it is not top-tier and one review reported an uncomfortable...

#29

ANC is the most divided area: several reviewers call it strong or impressive for the price, while others say it is average, weak, or below competitors.

#34

The lack of ANC is treated as a meaningful limitation for airplane or frequent travel use.

The WF-C510 does not provide active noise cancellation; reviewers often accept that tradeoff at the price, but ANC-focused buyers are repeatedly told to look elsewhere.
