Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Sony LinkBuds S
✓
Nuraphone NuraTrue ✓
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
Nuraphone NuraTrue have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
The Sony LinkBuds S too have ANC making either of the devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. The Nuraphone NuraTrue and Sony LinkBuds S operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that suits your travel or that enhances your relaxation time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

✓
Nuraphone NuraTrue ✓
Nuraphone NuraTrue sit tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces your environment noise and also prevents the device music from leaking out .
Both Sony LinkBuds S, and Nuraphone NuraTrue have passive noise reduction which means that both limit ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Sony LinkBuds S
5mm
Nuraphone NuraTrue 10mm
The Nuraphone NuraTrue have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, the unit size corellates with 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
, many people have a misconception 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Sony LinkBuds S
20Hz
Nuraphone NuraTrue 20Hz
Nuraphone NuraTrue's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces low audible frequencies 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 produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
Sony LinkBuds S
40000Hz
Nuraphone NuraTrue 20000Hz
Nuraphone NuraTrue's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Sony LinkBuds S's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, this means that
Sony LinkBuds S produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Nuraphone NuraTrue
Sound Pressure Level
Sony LinkBuds S
✗
Nuraphone NuraTrue 108dB/mW
SPL, is the level of pressure 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 ✗
The 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 produce music at quite a high SPL, with the use of high magnetic flux.
