Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro
✓
Sony WF C500 ✗
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

Sony WF C500 ✓
Sony WF C500 sit tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that tones down your environment sounds while preventing the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that they tone down ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro
11mm
Sony WF C500 5.8mm
Sony WF C500 have a unit size of 5.8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the sound produced by the device.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Sony WF C500 by 5.2mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Samsung Galaxy Buds 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 device produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
Highest Frequency
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro
20000Hz
Sony WF C500 20000Hz
Sony WF C500's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices generate equal treble
Has A Neodymium Magnet
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro
✗
Sony WF C500 ✓
Sony WF C500 have neodymium magnets, when used in earbuds produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output while using less power. They can help produce music at quite a high sound pressure level, using high magnetic flux.
