which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro by 3.6mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound. Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Sennheiser Momentum 3's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, this means that
Sennheiser Momentum 3 make sound with a juicier bass than the Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro
The Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Sennheiser Momentum 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, this means that
Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Sennheiser Momentum 3
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, 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 3's sound pressure level measurement is 107dB/mW.
The sound pressure level, a device is can be taken differently by different people, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms. Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge.
