What Is ANC in Oraimo EarPods? (Meaning, How It Works, Benefits, Models & Full Guide)

If you’re shopping for Oraimo earbuds or already own one of their popular FreePods, you’ve probably seen the term ANC written on the box or in the features list.

Many users wonder: What exactly is ANC in Oraimo EarPods, how does it work, and is it worth turning on?

This guide breaks everything down in simple terms, covering all the questions people usually search for.

What Does ANC Mean in Oraimo EarPods?

ANC stands for “Active Noise Cancellation.”

It is a technology inside Oraimo earbuds that reduces background noise so you can hear your music, calls, or videos more clearly.

Unlike normal earbuds that only block noise by physically sealing your ears, Oraimo ANC earbuds use microphones and smart sound-wave processing to cancel noise electronically.

How ANC Works in Oraimo EarPods (Simple Explanation)

Oraimo’s ANC technology works in three steps:

1. External microphones pick up environmental noise (like traffic, generator sound, office chatter).
2. The earbuds create an opposite sound wave (anti-noise).
3. The anti-noise wave cancels the original noise before it reaches your ears.

The result is a quieter, more immersive listening experience, even in loud environments.

What Noise Does Oraimo ANC Cancel?

ANC is most effective for:

• Generator hum
• Fan noise
• AC noise
• Bus/car engine noise
• Market or roadside background noise
• Office chatter
• General ambient sound

It does not completely remove:

• Sudden loud sounds (e.g., clapping, shouting)
• Close conversations
• Babies crying (because these sounds change too quickly to cancel perfectly)

Difference Between ANC and Normal Noise Isolation

• Oraimo FreePods 4

3. Better Focus

Useful for studying, office work, flights, or long road trips.

4. Improved Call Quality

Some models pair ANC with ENC for cleaner call audio.

Does ANC Drain Battery Faster?

Yes.

When ANC is ON, the earbuds use extra processing power, so the battery drains faster.

For examplexample: Oraimo FreePods 4 can drop from 8 hours to about 5 hours with ANC turned on.

Should You Always Use ANC?

Use ANC when:

• You’re in a noisy environment
• You want maximum immersion

Turn it OFF when:

• You want to save battery
