An ANR headset has a mike inside each earcup, and an amplifier circuit which drives the speakers in antiphase.

The cancellation works only over a relatively narrow frequency band - not least because the volume of air involved is too great to make it work over a wide band.

I'd be careful about attenuation claims in adverts though.
