Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Sony LinkBuds S

Nuraphone NuraTrue ✓
ANC makes use of advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
Nuraphone NuraTrue have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
The Sony LinkBuds S too have ANC which makes either of the devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. The Nuraphone NuraTrue and Sony LinkBuds S operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the setting that you prefer for commute or that suites your chill time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

Nuraphone NuraTrue ✓
The Nuraphone NuraTrue sit tightly in place, this creates an acoustic seal that reduces your environment sounds and also prevents the device music from leaking out at the same.
Both Sony LinkBuds S, and Nuraphone NuraTrue have passive noise reduction which implies that both limit ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Sony LinkBuds S
5mm
Nuraphone NuraTrue 10mm
Nuraphone NuraTrue have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the loudness of the earbuds.
Sony LinkBuds S driver unit is 5mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue by 5mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Sony LinkBuds S
20Hz
Nuraphone NuraTrue 20Hz
The Nuraphone NuraTrue's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
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
Nuraphone NuraTrue 20000Hz
Nuraphone NuraTrue's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Sony LinkBuds S's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, this implies that
Sony LinkBuds S can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Nuraphone NuraTrue
Sound Pressure Level
Sony LinkBuds S
✗
Nuraphone NuraTrue 108dB/mW
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, Nuraphone NuraTrue's measurement is 108dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
Sony LinkBuds S
✓
Nuraphone NuraTrue ✗
Sony LinkBuds S 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.
