Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Beats Studio Buds
✓
Sony LinkBuds S ✓
Active noise cancellation utilises advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
The Beats Studio Buds have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
The Sony LinkBuds S too have Active Noise Cancellation making both devices ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. The Beats Studio Buds and Sony LinkBuds S work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the setting that suits your travel or that suites your relaxation time.

Driver Unit Size
Beats Studio Buds
8.2mm
Sony LinkBuds S 5mm
The Beats Studio Buds driver unit is 8.2mm 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 device, its size corellates with 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 Beats Studio Buds by 3.2mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Beats Studio Buds
20Hz
Sony LinkBuds S 20Hz
The Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Sony LinkBuds S's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Beats Studio Buds
20000Hz
Sony LinkBuds S 40000Hz
The Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells 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 Beats Studio Buds
Sound Pressure Level
Beats Studio Buds
100.5dB/mW
Sony LinkBuds S ✗
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, Beats Studio Buds's measurement is 100.5dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
Beats Studio Buds
✗
Sony LinkBuds S ✓
Sony LinkBuds S have neodymium magnets, if used in earbuds produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help produce music at quite a high sound pressure level, with the use of high magnetic flux.
