Sony LinkBuds S ✓
ANC uses advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
The Sony LinkBuds S too have ANC which makes either of the devices ideal for flights and morning travels. Each operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the mode that suits your travel or that enhances your relaxation time.

Driver Unit Size
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro
10.6mm
Sony LinkBuds S 5mm
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro driver unit is 10.6mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit 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 Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro by 5.6mm
, as many tend to believe 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver 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 measures if and how well an audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Sony LinkBuds S's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro
40000Hz
Sony LinkBuds S 40000Hz
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
Sony LinkBuds S's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, this means that
both devices can 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

✗
Sony LinkBuds S ✓
Sony LinkBuds S have neodymium magnets, if used in earbuds produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output using less power to do so. They can help generate music at quite a high SPL, with the use of high magnetic flux.
