Driver Unit Size
Sony SRS XB23
46mm
Bang & Olufsen Beolit 20 140mm
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone. Sony SRS XB23 driver unit is 46mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
Bang & Olufsen Beolit 20 driver unit is 140mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Sony SRS XB23 by 94mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty reproducing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better sound.
Drivers Count
Sony SRS XB23
2only
Bang & Olufsen Beolit 20 4only
A speaker driver is an individual transducer that converts electrical energy to sound waves. Drivers come in different sizes and modes, but generally, you'll find three types: tweeter driver, which handles the high-frequency treble range (above 2,000 Hz), and midrange driver: which handles the midrange frequencies (200 Hz to 2,000 Hz). Woofer driver: handles the low-frequency bass range (below 200 Hz).
Based on the frequencies they handle more drivers may result in better sound quality, Sony SRS XB23 has 2 only.
Bang & Olufsen Beolit 20 has 4 only
Has A Passive Radiator

Bang & Olufsen Beolit 20 ✓
A passive radiator is a type of driver in speakers that can get extra power and resonance from a speaker system, usually used in smaller speaker systems. This radiator is called passive because it is not powered by electricity but by air pressure found in speaker cones.
The sound vibrations produced by a passive radiator depend on its mass and the size of its enclosure. It is usually used in combination with a woofer to produce deep, resonant tones that would normally be produced by speakers in large boxes powered by AC.
The Bang & Olufsen Beolit 20 and Sony SRS XB23 both have a passive radiator
Audio Output Power
Sony SRS XB23
20W
Bang & Olufsen Beolit 20 ✗
The audio output power of a device is based on the number of speakers and their power in watts Sony SRS XB23 has 20W, this is the amount of power the speakers can be loaded with "comfortably".
A higher audio output power results in louder, clearer sounds though this is not the sole factor determining the device's loudness. To get a better understanding of how loud any speaker can get, there are other features to factor in such as sensitivity, sound pressure, etc.
Lowest Frequency
Sony SRS XB23
20Hz
Bang & Olufsen Beolit 20 37Hz
Low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on the way through. Sony SRS XB23's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
Bang & Olufsen Beolit 20's lowest frequency is at 37Hz, this means that
Bang & Olufsen Beolit 20 got a juicier bass than the Sony SRS XB23
Highest Frequency
Sony SRS XB23
20,000Hz
Bang & Olufsen Beolit 20 20,000Hz
High frequency response measures if and how well an audio component reproduces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Sony SRS XB23's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
Bang & Olufsen Beolit 20's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
