There are two ways to turn the active noise cancellation (ANC) on or off. The first is clicking the power button on the right ear cup twice. This is the only button on the right ear cup, so it should be easy to find and double-tap.
The second is by using the actual Bluetooth settings app on iOS. If you are using Android, you can toggle ANC within the Beats app, which you can download for free from the Google Play store.
