Out of curiosity how does noise canceling works when on the device?

I assumed it was only possible when on the headset as it needed to be measured and cancelled based on the direction of the sound.

I'm failing how a device in your pocket can cancel any ambiant noise

If I’m reading the specs right it looks like their headphones are required. I’m guessing mic’s are on each side and offloaded to the player? Either way, I wouldn’t want to be forced to use their headphones.
