Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IP57, the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX'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 the second value of 7 means that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes. Compared to the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX, 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,
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 has a lower liquid rating than Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have a weight of 12g . We take in account a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, at 10.6g
are lighter than the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by -1.4g
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is a major distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the 2 earbuds together. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables connecting the pair of earbuds .
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have sweat resistance
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise. The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have ANC making either of the devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that you prefer for commute or that enhances your chill time.
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX stay well in place, creating an acoustic seal that tones down background sounds well as preventing the device sound from leaking out at the same. Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that they reduce ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out. Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have a unit size of 9.2mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines 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 Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 2.2mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low recognizable frequencies 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
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 make sound with a juicier bass than the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX
The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device makes high audible 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 means that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX'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 usually 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 Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 1 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's case has a charge of 20 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several 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 Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 1 hours
It requires 1.5 hours to fully charge the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's battery.
