Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

Sony WF 1000XM3 ✓
ANC uses more advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Sony WF 1000XM3 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning travels. Each work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the setting that you prefer for commute or that enhances your relaxation time.

Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Sony WF 1000XM3 by 4mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro
20Hz
Sony WF 1000XM3 20Hz
The Sony WF 1000XM3's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.

both devices make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro
20000Hz
Sony WF 1000XM3 20000Hz

Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro
25dB/mW
Sony WF 1000XM3 ✗
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro's measurement is 25dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
