Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Beats Fit Pro
✓
Sony WF 1000XM3 ✓
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Sony WF 1000XM3 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
Beats Fit Pro too have ANC making either of the devices ideal for flights and rush hour travels. The Sony WF 1000XM3 and Beats Fit Pro operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your travel or that enhances your relaxation time.

Driver Unit Size
Beats Fit Pro
9.5mm
Sony WF 1000XM3 6mm
The Sony WF 1000XM3 have a unit size of 6mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, its size corellates with the sound made by the earbuds.
Beats Fit Pro driver unit is 9.5mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Sony WF 1000XM3 by 3.5mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Beats Fit Pro
20Hz
Sony WF 1000XM3 20Hz
The Sony WF 1000XM3's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Beats Fit Pro
20000Hz
Sony WF 1000XM3 20000Hz
The Sony WF 1000XM3's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component produces high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Beats Fit Pro
101.3dB/mW
Sony WF 1000XM3 ✗
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Beats Fit Pro's measurement is 101.3dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
Beats Fit Pro
✓
Sony WF 1000XM3 ✓
The Sony WF 1000XM3 have neodymium magnets, when used in earbuds produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output using less power to do so. They can help generate music at quite a high sound pressure level, using high magnetic flux.
Beats Fit Pro too have it, devices with these magnets are lighter and more powerful . It is also known that they produce more bass and clearer high notes.
