Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

Active noise cancellation utilises advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro ✓
The Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro stay well in place, creating an acoustic seal that tones down background noise well as preventing the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that both tone down ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Sony WF C500
5.8mm
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro 13mm
The Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro have a unit size of 13mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the sound made by the device.
Sony WF C500 driver unit is 5.8mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro by 7.2mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Sony WF C500
20Hz
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro 20Hz
The Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Sony WF C500's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Sony WF C500
20000Hz
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro 20000Hz
Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Sony WF C500's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices generate equal treble
Has A Neodymium Magnet

Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro ✗
Sony WF C500 have neodymium magnets, when used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help generate music at quite a high sound pressure level, with the use of high magnetic flux.
