Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

Sony WF C500 ✗

1More Aero ✓

ANC makes use of advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.

1More Aero have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.

Has Passive Noise Reduction

Sony WF C500 ✓

1More Aero ✓

1More Aero stay well in place, creating an acoustic covering that reduces background sounds and also prevents the earbuds sound from leaking out at the same.

Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that both limit ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.

1More Aero 10mm

The 1More Aero driver unit is 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the loudness of the device.

If you intend on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
