Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

✓
Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed ✓
Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
The Sony WF 1000XM4 too have ANC which makes both devices ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. The Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed and Sony WF 1000XM4 operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that suits your travel or that suites your chill time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed ✓
The Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed sit tightly in place, creating a sound seal that tones down your environment sounds and also prevents the device sound from leaking out at the same.
Both Sony WF 1000XM4, and Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed have passive noise reduction which means that both limit ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Sony WF 1000XM4
6mm
Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed 10mm
The Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, the unit size determines the loudness of the earbuds.
Sony WF 1000XM4 driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed by 4mm
, 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Sony WF 1000XM4
20hz
Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed 20hz
Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
Sony WF 1000XM4's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Sony WF 1000XM4
40,000hz
Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed 20,000hz
Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Sony WF 1000XM4's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this means that
Sony WF 1000XM4 produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed
Sound Pressure Level
Sony WF 1000XM4
105db/mw
Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed 95db/mw
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed's measurement is 95dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Sony WF 1000XM4's sound pressure level measurement is 105dB/mW. How loud a device is can be perceived differently by different persons, so we need to have the means to get a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
Has A Neodymium Magnet

Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed ✗
The Sony WF 1000XM4 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.
