Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Nuraphone NuraTrue
✓
Sony WF C500 ✗
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero thus "diluting" the noise.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
Has Passive Noise Reduction
Nuraphone NuraTrue
✓
Sony WF C500 ✓
The Nuraphone NuraTrue sit well in place, creating a sound covering that reduces your environment sounds and also prevents the earbuds music from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that they reduce ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Nuraphone NuraTrue
10mm
Sony WF C500 5.8mm
Nuraphone NuraTrue driver unit is 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the device.
Sony WF C500 driver unit is 5.8mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Nuraphone NuraTrue by 4.2mm
, 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 imply that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Nuraphone NuraTrue
20Hz
Sony WF C500 20Hz
Nuraphone NuraTrue's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Sony WF C500's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Nuraphone NuraTrue
20000Hz
Sony WF C500 20000Hz
The Nuraphone NuraTrue's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component makes high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
Sony WF C500's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Nuraphone NuraTrue
108dB/mW
Sony WF C500 ✗
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, measured 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
Nuraphone NuraTrue
✗
Sony WF C500 ✓
The Sony WF C500 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, using high magnetic flux.
