Ingress protection ratings refer to the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX5, the 1More Aero's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids 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 Momentum True Wireless 3 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 Momentum True Wireless 3 has a lower liquid rating than 1More Aero
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have a weight of 10.6g . We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together, 1More Aero are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is a key difference as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the two earbuds together.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 also is true wireless because it has no cables linking the pair of earbuds .
1More Aero are resistant to sweat
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
1More Aero have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 and 1More Aero have stereo speakers
ANC utilises more advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
1More Aero have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning travels. The 1More Aero and Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for commute or that enhances your chill time.
The 1More Aero sit well in place, creating an acoustic covering that tones down your environment sounds and also prevents the device music from leaking out .
Both Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, and 1More Aero have passive noise reduction this means that they tone down ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
The 1More Aero have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the loudness of the device.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 driver unit is 7mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of 1More Aero by 3mm
, a common assumption 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.
The 1More Aero's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 produce a juicier bass than the 1More Aero
The 1More Aero's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device makes high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's highest frequency is at 21000Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the 1More Aero
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's measurement is 107dB/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 before recharge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's battery life is
equal to that of the 1More Aero
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening 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 the 1More Aero's case is said to have a full charge of 21 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
equal to that of the 1More Aero
It requires 1.5 hours to fully charge the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the device, you just put down on a compatible charging pad.
1More Aero have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the device has a low battery. Its lights show the charging state of your earbuds and charging case.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have a battery level indicator, these allow you to determine the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.
The 1More Aero have USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current electronics.
The 1More Aero have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
equal to that of the 1More Aero
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The 1More Aero have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 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. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the 1More Aero will work fine with your iPhone. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 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.
