Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Sony WF 1000XM4
✓
Beats Studio Buds ✓
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Beats Studio Buds have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
Sony WF 1000XM4 too have ANC making either of the earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for travel or that enhances your relaxation time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

Beats Studio Buds ✓
The Beats Studio Buds stay tightly in place, this creates an acoustic covering that reduces your environment 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 reduce ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Sony WF 1000XM4
6mm
Beats Studio Buds 8.2mm
The Beats Studio Buds driver unit is 8.2mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, its size corellates with the sound produced by the device.
Sony WF 1000XM4 driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Beats Studio Buds by 2.2mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing 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
Sony WF 1000XM4
20Hz
Beats Studio Buds 20Hz
The Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Sony WF 1000XM4's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
Sony WF 1000XM4
40000Hz
Beats Studio Buds 20000Hz
The Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device generates high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Sony WF 1000XM4's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, this implies that
Sony WF 1000XM4 can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Beats Studio Buds
Sound Pressure Level
Sony WF 1000XM4
105dB/mW
Beats Studio Buds 100.5dB/mW
SPL, is the level of pressure 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.
Sony WF 1000XM4's sound pressure level measurement is 105dB/mW. How loud something is can be perceived differently by separate people, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
Sony WF 1000XM4
✓
Beats Studio Buds ✗
Sony WF 1000XM4 have neodymium magnets, when used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output using less power to do so. They can help generate music at quite a high sound pressure level, with the use of high magnetic flux.
