IP ratings refer to the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IP55, the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's rating for solids indicates that ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety, 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. In comparison to the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus has a higher liquid rating than Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have a weight of 9g . We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to transport.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, at 10.6g
are heavier than the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by of 1.6g
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is a major distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the 2 earbuds together. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables linking the two earbuds together.
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have sweat resistance
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 also have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out.
In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus 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 overcome background noise. The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus and Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the setting that suits your travel or that enhances your chill time. Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus stay well in place, creating a sound covering that tones down your environment noise while preventing the device sound from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that both limit ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out. Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have a unit size of 9mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the sound made by the device. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 driver unit is 7mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 2mm
, 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 mean that they deliver better quality sound.
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, 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
both devices make sound with equal bass
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device produces high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's measurement is 110dB/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. How loud something is can be taken differently by separate persons, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's battery life is 7.5 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's battery life is
less than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 0.5 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 no longer play for long like they used to. This is given by the vendor, and the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's case is said to have a charge of 12.5 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables 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,
more than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 8.5 hours
It requires 2.5 hours to fully charge the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 1 hours
