Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Sony WF 1000XM3
✓
Marshall Minor III ✗
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Sony WF 1000XM3 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

The Sony WF 1000XM3 sit tightly in place, this creates a sound covering that reduces background sounds and also prevents the device voice audio from leaking out .
Driver Unit Size
Sony WF 1000XM3
6mm
Marshall Minor III 12mm
The Sony WF 1000XM3 driver unit is 6mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size corellates with the sound produced by the device.
Marshall Minor III driver unit is 12mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Sony WF 1000XM3 by 6mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Sony WF 1000XM3
20Hz
Marshall Minor III 20Hz
Sony WF 1000XM3's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
Marshall Minor III's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Sony WF 1000XM3
20000Hz
Marshall Minor III 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 makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Marshall Minor III's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices can generate equal treble
Has A Neodymium Magnet
Sony WF 1000XM3
✓
Marshall Minor III ✗
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 generate music at quite a high sound pressure level, using high magnetic flux.
