Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection offered by a casing, against dust 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 protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX4, the Audio Technica ATH TWX9's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes 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 Audio Technica ATH TWX9, 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 Audio Technica ATH TWX9 have a weight of 10.8g . We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, at 140g
are heavier than the Audio Technica ATH TWX9 with a difference of 129.2g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables linking any part of the device together, Audio Technica ATH TWX9 are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is a major distinction since wireless earbuds have wires linking the 2 earbuds together.

The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the devices ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. The Audio Technica ATH TWX9 and Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that you prefer for travel or that enhances your relaxation time.

Both Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, and Audio Technica ATH TWX9 have passive noise reduction which means that both limit ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
Audio Technica ATH TWX9 driver unit is 5.8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, its size corellates with the sound produced by 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
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
The Audio Technica ATH TWX9's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.

Audio Technica ATH TWX9 produce 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, 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. The sound pressure level, something is can be considered differently by separate people, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The Audio Technica ATH TWX9's battery life is 6 hours, a device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's battery life is
more than that of Audio Technica ATH TWX9 by 1 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
