Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)
✓
Sony LinkBuds S ✓
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
Sony LinkBuds S too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. Each work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for commute or that suites your relaxation time.

Driver Unit Size
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)
11mm
Sony LinkBuds S 5mm
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) have a unit size of 11mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds.

which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) by 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 yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)
20Hz
Sony LinkBuds S 20Hz

Sony LinkBuds S's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)
20,000Hz
Sony LinkBuds S 40,000Hz
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device generates high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Sony LinkBuds S's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this implies that
Sony LinkBuds S generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)
