Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX7, the Raycon Fitness Earbuds's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes. Compared to the Raycon Fitness Earbuds, Sony LinkBuds S have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Sony LinkBuds S has a lower liquid rating than Raycon Fitness Earbuds
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a weight of 141.75g . We consider a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
The Sony LinkBuds S, at 9.6g
weigh less than the Raycon Fitness Earbuds by -132.15g
True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Raycon Fitness Earbuds are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is an important difference since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the 2 earbuds together. Sony LinkBuds S also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables connecting the 2 earbuds .
Raycon Fitness Earbuds have sweat resistance
Sony LinkBuds S's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc

Raycon Fitness Earbuds have stereo speakers, what this means is that Raycon Fitness Earbuds's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. The Sony LinkBuds S also have stereo speakers
ANC utilises more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it.
In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise. Sony LinkBuds S too have ANC which makes both earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning travels.
Each work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your travel or that suites your chill time. Raycon Fitness Earbuds stay well in place, creating a sound seal that tones down your environment sounds and also prevents the earbuds sound from leaking out .

A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, its size corellates with the sound produced by the device. Sony LinkBuds S driver unit is 5mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Raycon Fitness Earbuds by 3mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Sony LinkBuds S's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Raycon Fitness Earbuds can make sound with a juicier bass than the Sony LinkBuds S
Raycon Fitness Earbuds's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it. Sony LinkBuds S's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
Raycon Fitness Earbuds's battery life is 12 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge.
A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. Sony LinkBuds S's battery life is

The Raycon Fitness Earbuds use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. Sony LinkBuds S too have USB TYPE-C.
This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics. The Raycon Fitness Earbuds have Bluetooth version of 5.3, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Sony LinkBuds S has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
older than that of Raycon Fitness Earbuds
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth. Sony LinkBuds S have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Raycon Fitness Earbuds
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds have 4 microphones. While the Sony LinkBuds S microphones are 6,
more than that of Raycon Fitness Earbuds by 2
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out background sounds.
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are intended to reduce background sounds from the earbuds' sound. The Raycon Fitness Earbuds support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient sound so that they can still be heard even when wearing the earbuds
The Sony LinkBuds S support ambient sound mode as well, it’s useful when you want to listen to music but also be aware of what’s happening around you, say you’re having a run but would still want to be able to hear traffic. Raycon Fitness Earbuds support fast charging.
