Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Sony WF 1000XM4
✓
Marshall Minor III ✗
ANC makes use of more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Sony WF 1000XM4 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.

Driver Unit Size
Sony WF 1000XM4
6mm
Marshall Minor III 12mm
Marshall Minor III driver unit is 12mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds.
Sony WF 1000XM4 driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Marshall Minor III by 6mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Sony WF 1000XM4
20Hz
Marshall Minor III 20Hz
The 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 WF 1000XM4's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
Sony WF 1000XM4
40000Hz
Marshall Minor III 20000Hz
Marshall Minor III's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
Sony WF 1000XM4's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, this implies that
Sony WF 1000XM4 can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Marshall Minor III
Sound Pressure Level
Sony WF 1000XM4
105dB/mW
Marshall Minor III ✗
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured 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
Sony WF 1000XM4
✓
Marshall Minor III ✗
Sony WF 1000XM4 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.
