Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX5, the 1More Aero's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second number of 5 means that they can withstand medium pressure jet that's 6.3mm diameter, similar to garden hose from any angle for 3 minutes at a distance of 2.5 to 3 metres.
Compared to the 1More Aero, Sennheiser CX 500BT have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Sennheiser CX 500BT has a lower liquid rating than 1More Aero
The Sennheiser CX 500BT have a weight of 12g . We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, 1More Aero are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires. This is a major difference since wireless earbuds have cables linking the 2 earbuds together.

1More Aero are resistant to sweat
Sennheiser CX 500BT's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
1More Aero have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Sennheiser CX 500BT also have stereo speakers
ANC uses advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, 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 taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero thus "diluting" the noise.
The 1More Aero have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
Sennheiser CX 500BT too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the earbuds ideal for flights and morning commutes. The 1More Aero and Sennheiser CX 500BT work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for commute or that enhances your relaxation time.
The 1More Aero sit well in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces your environment sounds while preventing the earbuds music from leaking out at the same.

The 1More Aero driver unit is 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds.
1More Aero's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Sennheiser CX 500BT's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser CX 500BT produce a juicier bass than the 1More Aero
1More Aero's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component generates high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
Sennheiser CX 500BT's highest frequency is at 21000Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser CX 500BT generate a clearer and crispier treble than the 1More Aero
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Sennheiser CX 500BT's measurement is 94dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
The 1More Aero's battery life is 7 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Sennheiser CX 500BT's battery life is
more than that of 1More Aero by 1 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
This is given by the vendor, and 1More Aero's case is said to have a charge of 21 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself.
Sennheiser CX 500BT's charging case has a battery life of 16 hours,
less than that of 1More Aero by 5 hours

equal to that of the 1More Aero
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
1More Aero have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Sennheiser CX 500BT have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the 1More Aero
1More Aero support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the 1More Aero will work well with your MacBook. If you are planning on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Sennheiser CX 500BT support AAC as well. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate.
