ANC makes use of advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Sony WF 1000XM3 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

Sony WF 1000XM3 ✓
Sony WF 1000XM3 stay well in place, creating a sound covering that tones down background sounds well as preventing the earbuds music from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that both reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Energy Sistem Sport 5
14mm
Sony WF 1000XM3 6mm
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, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the device.
Energy Sistem Sport 5 driver unit is 14mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Sony WF 1000XM3 by 8mm
, many people have a misconception 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 indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Energy Sistem Sport 5
20Hz
Sony WF 1000XM3 20Hz
Sony WF 1000XM3's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Energy Sistem Sport 5's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
Energy Sistem Sport 5
20000Hz
Sony WF 1000XM3 20000Hz
The Sony WF 1000XM3's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device generates high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Energy Sistem Sport 5's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
Has A Neodymium Magnet

Sony WF 1000XM3 ✓
Sony WF 1000XM3 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 produce music at quite a high SPL, using high magnetic flux.
Energy Sistem Sport 5 have it too, devices with these magnets are lighter and more powerful . It is also known that they produce more bass and clearer high notes.
