Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro
✓
Sony LinkBuds S ✓
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero thus "diluting" the noise.
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
The Sony LinkBuds S too have ANC making both devices ideal for flights and morning travels. The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro and Sony LinkBuds S work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the setting that you prefer for travel or that suites your chill time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

Sony LinkBuds S ✓
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro sit well in place, this creates an acoustic seal that reduces background sounds and also prevents the device music from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro
10.6mm
Sony LinkBuds S 5mm
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro have a unit size of 10.6mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the sound made by the device.
Sony LinkBuds S driver unit is 5mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro by 5.6mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro
20hz
Sony LinkBuds S 20hz
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Sony LinkBuds S's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro
40,000hz
Sony LinkBuds S 40,000hz
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
Sony LinkBuds S's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro
92db/mw
Sony LinkBuds S ✗
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's measurement is 92dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro
✗
Sony LinkBuds S ✓
The Sony LinkBuds S have neodymium magnets, if used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help produce music at quite a high SPL, with the use of high magnetic flux.
