Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Sony WF 1000XM3
✓
JBL Reflect Aero TWS ✓
ANC makes use of advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Sony WF 1000XM3 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS too have ANC which makes either of the devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels. The Sony WF 1000XM3 and JBL Reflect Aero TWS work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that you prefer for travel or that suites your chill time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

The Sony WF 1000XM3 stay tightly in place, this creates a sound seal that tones down background sounds and also prevents the device sound from leaking out at the same.
Both JBL Reflect Aero TWS, and Sony WF 1000XM3 have passive noise reduction this implies that they tone down ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Sony WF 1000XM3
6mm
JBL Reflect Aero TWS 6.8mm
Sony WF 1000XM3 driver unit is 6mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, its size corellates with the loudness of the device.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS driver unit is 6.8mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Sony WF 1000XM3 by 0.8mm
, 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 deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Sony WF 1000XM3
20Hz
JBL Reflect Aero TWS 20Hz
Sony WF 1000XM3's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
Sony WF 1000XM3
20000Hz
JBL Reflect Aero TWS 20000Hz
Sony WF 1000XM3's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component generates high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices can generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Sony WF 1000XM3
✗
JBL Reflect Aero TWS 99dB/mW
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Reflect Aero TWS's measurement is 99dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
Sony WF 1000XM3
✓
JBL Reflect Aero TWS ✗
Sony WF 1000XM3 have neodymium magnets, if used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help produce music at quite a high SPL, using high magnetic flux.
