Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

Sony WF 1000XM4 ✓
Active noise cancellation uses advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
Sony WF 1000XM4 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

Sony WF 1000XM4 ✓
Energy Sistem Sport 5 sit tightly in place, creating an acoustic covering that reduces background sounds well as preventing the earbuds music from leaking out .
Both Sony WF 1000XM4, and Energy Sistem Sport 5 have passive noise reduction which implies that both limit ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Energy Sistem Sport 5
14mm
Sony WF 1000XM4 6mm
The Energy Sistem Sport 5 driver unit is 14mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the 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 WF 1000XM4 driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Energy Sistem Sport 5 by 8mm
, 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Energy Sistem Sport 5
20Hz
Sony WF 1000XM4 20Hz
The Energy Sistem Sport 5's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates 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 make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Energy Sistem Sport 5
20000Hz
Sony WF 1000XM4 40000Hz
Energy Sistem Sport 5's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
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
Has A Neodymium Magnet
Energy Sistem Sport 5
✓
Sony WF 1000XM4 ✓
Energy Sistem Sport 5 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 SPL, using high magnetic flux.
Sony WF 1000XM4 too have it, 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.
