Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of 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. Compared 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
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro have a weight of 12g . We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, at 10.6g
weigh less than the Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro with a difference -1.4g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no wires connecting 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 an important difference as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the two earbuds .

The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out.
In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.

The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro stay well in place, creating a sound seal that reduces your environment noise and also prevents the device voice audio from leaking out at the same. Both Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, and Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro have passive noise reduction this means that they limit ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro driver unit is 10.6mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size dictates 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
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound. Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, this means that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 can produce a juicier bass than the Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device generates high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, this implies that
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, measured 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 considered differently by different persons, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms. The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is commonly 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 barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's case is said to have a full charge of 24 hours.
