Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
Beats Fit Pro have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds. Sennheiser Momentum 3 too have ANC making either of the devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels.

which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Beats Fit Pro by 2.5mm
, many people have a misconception 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
The Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Sennheiser Momentum 3's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, this means that
Sennheiser Momentum 3 produce a juicier bass than the Beats Fit Pro
Beats Fit Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. Sennheiser Momentum 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, this means that
Sennheiser Momentum 3 generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Beats Fit Pro
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, 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. How loud something is can be considered differently by different people, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
