Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

ANC makes use of advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Sony WF 1000XM4 have ANC 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.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

Sony WF 1000XM4 ✓
The Energy Sistem Sport 5 stay tightly in place, this creates an acoustic seal that tones down your environment noise and also prevents the device music from leaking out at the same.
Both Sony WF 1000XM4, and Energy Sistem Sport 5 have passive noise reduction which implies that both limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Energy Sistem Sport 5
14mm
Sony WF 1000XM4 6mm
The Energy Sistem Sport 5 have a unit size of 14mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, the unit size dictates the loudness of the device.
Sony WF 1000XM4 driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Energy Sistem Sport 5 by 8mm
, many people have a misconception 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Energy Sistem Sport 5
20Hz
Sony WF 1000XM4 20Hz
Energy Sistem Sport 5's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Sony WF 1000XM4's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Energy Sistem Sport 5
20000Hz
Sony WF 1000XM4 40000Hz
The Energy Sistem Sport 5's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
Sony WF 1000XM4's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, this implies that
Sony WF 1000XM4 produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Energy Sistem Sport 5
Sound Pressure Level
Energy Sistem Sport 5
✗
Sony WF 1000XM4 105dB/mW
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Sony WF 1000XM4's measurement is 105dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
Energy Sistem Sport 5
✓
Sony WF 1000XM4 ✓
Energy Sistem Sport 5 have neodymium magnets, when 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.
Sony WF 1000XM4 have it too, devices with these magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets. It is also known that they have more bass and clearer high notes.
