Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Sony LinkBuds S
✓
Marshall Minor III ✗
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) giving zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Sony LinkBuds S have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

The Sony LinkBuds S sit tightly in place, creating an acoustic covering that reduces background noise while preventing the device sound from leaking out at the same.
Driver Unit Size
Sony LinkBuds S
5mm
Marshall Minor III 12mm
The Marshall Minor III driver unit is 12mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, its size corellates with the loudness of the device.
Sony LinkBuds S driver unit is 5mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Marshall Minor III by 7mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Sony LinkBuds S
20Hz
Marshall Minor III 20Hz
Marshall Minor III's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device 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 can make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Sony LinkBuds S
40000Hz
Marshall Minor III 20000Hz
The Marshall Minor III's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device produces high recognizable frequencies and if it 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 Marshall Minor III
Has A Neodymium Magnet
Sony LinkBuds S
✓
Marshall Minor III ✗
Sony LinkBuds S have neodymium magnets, if 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, with the use of high magnetic flux.
