Both Sony LinkBuds S and 1More Aero have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
1More Aero have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
Sony LinkBuds S too have ANC making either of the devices ideal for flights and morning commutes. The 1More Aero and Sony LinkBuds S operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the mode that suits your commute or that suites your relaxation time.
The 1More Aero sit tightly in place, this creates an acoustic covering that reduces background sounds while preventing the device music from leaking out at the same.
Both Sony LinkBuds S, and 1More Aero have passive noise reduction which means that both tone down ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
The 1More Aero have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, its size determines the sound produced by the device.
Sony LinkBuds S driver unit is 5mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of 1More Aero by 5mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
The 1More Aero's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
Sony LinkBuds S's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices make sound with equal bass
1More Aero's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Sony LinkBuds S's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, this implies that
Sony LinkBuds S can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the 1More Aero
The Sony LinkBuds S have neodymium magnets, when used in earbuds produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output using less power to do so. They can help produce music at quite a high SPL, using high magnetic flux.
1More Aero's battery life is 7 hours, a device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Sony LinkBuds S's battery life is
less than that of 1More Aero by 1 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
This is given by the vendor, and the 1More Aero's case is said to have a full charge of 21 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.
Sony LinkBuds S's charging case has a battery life of 14 hours,
less than that of 1More Aero by 7 hours
