Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IP57, the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's rating is read as, the first number of 5 denotes 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 are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes. In comparison 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 consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to transport.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, at 10.6g
weigh less than the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by -1.4g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables. This is a major difference as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the pair of earbuds .

Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds.
ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX driver unit is 9.2mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of 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 Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 2.2mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound. The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates 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 means that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 can 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 tells how well an audio device generates high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 can produce 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 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
less than that of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX by 1 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely 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 Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX's case has a full charge of 20 hours.
A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before recharging 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
