Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)

Sony WF 1000XM4 ✓
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero thus "diluting" the noise.
Sony WF 1000XM4 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro too have ANC which makes both devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels. Each work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that suits your travel or that suites your relaxation time.

Sony WF 1000XM4 ✓
The Sony WF 1000XM4 sit tightly in place, this creates an acoustic covering that reduces your environment sounds and also prevents the device sound from leaking out at the same.
Both Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, and Sony WF 1000XM4 have passive noise reduction which means that both limit ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro
11mm
Sony WF 1000XM4 6mm
Sony WF 1000XM4 driver unit is 6mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, its size corellates with the sound made by the earbuds.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Sony WF 1000XM4 by 5mm
, 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro
20Hz
Sony WF 1000XM4 20Hz
Sony WF 1000XM4's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro
20000Hz
Sony WF 1000XM4 40000Hz
Sony WF 1000XM4's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
Sony WF 1000XM4 can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro
Has A Neodymium Magnet

Sony WF 1000XM4 ✓
Sony WF 1000XM4 have neodymium magnets, if used in earbuds produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help generate music at quite a high sound pressure level, with the use of high magnetic flux.
