Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Sony WF 1000XM3
✓
Nuraphone NuraTrue ✓
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
Sony WF 1000XM3 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
The Nuraphone NuraTrue too have ANC making both devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. The Sony WF 1000XM3 and Nuraphone NuraTrue work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that you prefer for travel or that enhances your relaxation time.

making them have a larger driver unit than that of Sony WF 1000XM3 by 4mm
, 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
Nuraphone NuraTrue 20Hz
Sony WF 1000XM3's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.

both devices produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
Sony WF 1000XM3
20000Hz
Nuraphone NuraTrue 20000Hz
Sony WF 1000XM3's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component generates high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
Nuraphone NuraTrue's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Sony WF 1000XM3
✗
Nuraphone NuraTrue 108dB/mW
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, Nuraphone NuraTrue's measurement is 108dB/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
✓
Nuraphone NuraTrue ✗
The Sony WF 1000XM3 have neodymium magnets, if used in earbuds 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.
