Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
✓
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 ✓
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the devices ideal for plane rides and morning travels. Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that suits your travel or that enhances your chill time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
✓
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 ✓
The Audio Technica ATH TWX9 stay tightly in place, this creates an acoustic covering that tones down your environment sounds well as preventing the device sound from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that they tone down ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
5.8mm
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 7mm
The Audio Technica ATH TWX9 driver unit is 5.8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the loudness of the earbuds.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 driver unit is 7mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Audio Technica ATH TWX9 by 1.2mm
, 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 indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
20Hz
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 5Hz
The Audio Technica ATH TWX9's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 can make sound with a juicier bass than the Audio Technica ATH TWX9
Highest Frequency
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
40000Hz
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 21000Hz
Audio Technica ATH TWX9's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component generates high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's highest frequency is at 21000Hz, this implies that
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3
Sound Pressure Level
Audio Technica ATH TWX9
102dB/mW
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 107dB/mW
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Audio Technica ATH TWX9's measurement is 102dB/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 a device is can be perceived differently by separate persons, so we need to have the means to get a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
