Sony WF C500 ✗
Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Beats Fit Pro have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.

Driver Unit Size
Beats Fit Pro
9.5mm
Sony WF C500 5.8mm
The Sony WF C500 have a unit size of 5.8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size dictates the loudness of the earbuds.
Beats Fit Pro driver unit is 9.5mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Sony WF C500 by 3.7mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Beats Fit Pro
20Hz
Sony WF C500 20Hz
Sony WF C500's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Highest Frequency
Beats Fit Pro
20000Hz
Sony WF C500 20000Hz
Sony WF C500's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component makes high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
Sound Pressure Level
Beats Fit Pro
101.3dB/mW
Sony WF C500 ✗
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Beats Fit Pro's measurement is 101.3dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
Beats Fit Pro
✓
Sony WF C500 ✓
Sony WF C500 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, with the use of high magnetic flux.
Beats Fit Pro have it too, devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful . It is also known that they produce more bass and clearer high notes.
