IP ratings is the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX4, the Beats Fit Pro's rating is read as, the first number 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. In comparison to the Beats Fit Pro, Sennheiser Momentum 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 Beats Fit Pro have a weight of 11.2g . We prefer a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.
The Sennheiser Momentum 3, at 10.6g
are lighter than the Beats Fit Pro by -0.6g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Beats Fit Pro are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is a major difference since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the two earbuds .
Sennheiser Momentum 3 also is true wireless because it has no wires linking the 2 earbuds .
Beats Fit Pro have wingtips, these are reserved for earbuds for workouts and come as an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a more secure fit. Beats Fit Pro are resistant to sweat
Sennheiser Momentum 3's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Beats Fit Pro have stereo speakers, what this means is that Beats Fit Pro's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Sennheiser Momentum 3 and Beats Fit Pro have stereo speakers
ANC utilises more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Beats Fit Pro have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds. Sennheiser Momentum 3 too have ANC which makes either of the devices ideal for flights and morning travels. The Beats Fit Pro and Sennheiser Momentum 3 work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that suits your commute or that enhances your relaxation time.
The Beats Fit Pro sit well in place, this creates an acoustic covering that tones down your environment noise and also prevents the device voice audio from leaking out at the same. Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that they reduce ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out. Beats Fit Pro driver unit is 9.5mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size dictates the loudness of the device. Sennheiser Momentum 3 driver unit is 7mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Beats Fit Pro by 2.5mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Sennheiser Momentum 3's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum 3 make sound with a juicier bass than the Beats Fit Pro
Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component produces high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it. Sennheiser Momentum 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum 3 generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Beats Fit Pro
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Beats Fit Pro's measurement is 101.3dB/mW.
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. Sennheiser Momentum 3's sound pressure level measurement is 107dB/mW. The sound pressure level, something is can be perceived differently by separate persons, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The Beats Fit Pro's battery life is 7 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. 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 3's battery life is
equal to that of the Beats Fit Pro
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing 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. The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and Beats Fit Pro's case is said to have a charge of 21 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself.
Sennheiser Momentum 3's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
equal to that of the Beats Fit Pro
It takes 1 hours to fully charge the Beats Fit Pro's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended periods. Sennheiser Momentum 3 takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
more than that of Beats Fit Pro by 0.5 hours
Beats Fit Pro have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery.
The battery indicator lights show the charging status of your device and charging case. Sennheiser Momentum 3 too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you tell the charging state of your earbuds, if charged fully, or having a low battery. Beats Fit Pro use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
Sennheiser Momentum 3 too support USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current electronics. The Beats Fit Pro have Bluetooth version of 5, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data movement between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Sennheiser Momentum 3 has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
newer than that of Beats Fit Pro
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. The Beats Fit Pro have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth. Sennheiser Momentum 3 have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Beats Fit Pro
Beats Fit Pro support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio.
It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Beats Fit Pro will work fine with your iPad.
If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well. The Sennheiser Momentum 3 support AAC as well. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate.
Beats Fit Pro have 6 microphones. While the Sennheiser Momentum 3 microphones are 6,
equal to that of the Beats Fit Pro
. More microphones record better sound quality and help the device to filter out background sounds. Beats Fit Pro use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are designed to reduce background sounds from the desired sound.
The Sennheiser Momentum 3 too use a noise-canceling microphone. This is useful in noisy areas. The Beats Fit Pro support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient noises so that they can still be heard even when wearing them
The Sennheiser Momentum 3 support ambient sound mode as well, it’s useful when you want to listen to music while being aware of your surrounding, say you’re having a run but would still want to hear traffic.
