Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Devialet Gemini 2

Sony LinkBuds S ✓
Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
Devialet Gemini 2 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
The Sony LinkBuds S too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the devices ideal for flights and morning travels. The Devialet Gemini 2 and Sony LinkBuds S work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that suits your commute or that suites your relaxation time.

Driver Unit Size
Devialet Gemini 2
10mm
Sony LinkBuds S 5mm
Devialet Gemini 2 have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, its 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 Devialet Gemini 2 by 5mm
, 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 imply that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Devialet Gemini 2
5Hz
Sony LinkBuds S 20Hz
Devialet Gemini 2's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Sony LinkBuds S's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
Devialet Gemini 2 can make sound with a juicier bass than the Sony LinkBuds S
Highest Frequency
Devialet Gemini 2
20,000Hz
Sony LinkBuds S 40,000Hz
Devialet Gemini 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Sony LinkBuds S's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this means that
Sony LinkBuds S produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Devialet Gemini 2
Sound Pressure Level
Devialet Gemini 2
120dB/mW
Sony LinkBuds S ✗
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, Devialet Gemini 2's measurement is 120dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
