IP ratings refer to the rank of protection given by a casing, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX4, the Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
In comparison to the Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro, 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,
they both have the same rating against liquids
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro have a weight of 12g . We take in account a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, at 10.6g
weigh less than the Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro by -1.4g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires linking any part of the device together, Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro are true wireless for this case since they don't have cables. This is a major difference since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds together.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 also is true wireless because it has no cables connecting the 2 earbuds together.

Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro have sweat resistance
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro 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.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero thus "diluting" the noise.
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels. Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your travel or that suites your relaxation time.

Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that they tone down ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro have a unit size of 10.6mm 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, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 driver unit is 7mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro by 3.6mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
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 Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's highest frequency is at 21000Hz, this implies that
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's measurement is 92dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's sound pressure level measurement is 107dB/mW. The sound pressure level, a device is can be perceived differently by separate people, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's battery life is 8 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 longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's battery life is
less than that of Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro 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 time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
