Skullcandy Indy Fuel ✗
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, 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 producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
Sony WF 1000XM3 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.

Driver Unit Size
Sony WF 1000XM3
6mm
Skullcandy Indy Fuel 6mm
Sony WF 1000XM3 driver unit is 6mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, its size corellates with the sound produced by the earbuds.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
making both devices similar in how loud their sound gets
, a common assumption 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 mean that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Sony WF 1000XM3
20Hz
Skullcandy Indy Fuel 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 alters the signal on its way through.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
Sony WF 1000XM3
20000Hz
Skullcandy Indy Fuel 20000Hz
Sony WF 1000XM3's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Sony WF 1000XM3
✗
Skullcandy Indy Fuel 105dB/mW
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Skullcandy Indy Fuel's measurement is 105dB/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
✓
Skullcandy Indy Fuel ✗
Sony WF 1000XM3 have neodymium magnets, when 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 sound pressure level, with the use of high magnetic flux.
