IP ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX4, the Beats Fit Pro's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. Compared 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
Beats Fit Pro have a weight of 11.2g . We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.
Sennheiser Momentum 3, at 10.6g
are lighter than the Beats Fit Pro with a difference -0.6g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires linking any part of the device together, Beats Fit Pro are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is an important distinction since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds .
Sennheiser Momentum 3 also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables connecting 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 have sweat resistance
Sennheiser Momentum 3's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
Beats Fit Pro have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Sennheiser Momentum 3 also have stereo speakers
ANC utilises advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
Beats Fit Pro have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds. The Sennheiser Momentum 3 too have ANC making either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. The Beats Fit Pro and Sennheiser Momentum 3 operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the setting that suits your travel or that suites your chill time.
The Beats Fit Pro stay well in place, this creates a sound covering that tones down background sounds well as preventing the earbuds sound from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out. The Beats Fit Pro have a unit size of 9.5mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the sound made by the device.
Sennheiser Momentum 3 driver unit is 7mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Beats Fit Pro by 2.5mm
, as many tend to believe 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 imply that they produce better quality sound. Beats Fit Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Sennheiser Momentum 3's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, this implies 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 an audio component generates high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it. Sennheiser Momentum 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum 3 can 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 a device is can be taken differently by different people, so we need to have the means to get 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 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
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and the Beats Fit Pro's case has a full charge of 21 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging 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 recommended to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time. 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 indicate the charging state of your device and 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 the battery is running low. The Beats Fit Pro use USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. Sennheiser Momentum 3 too have USB TYPE-C.
This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current electronics. Beats Fit Pro have Bluetooth version of 5, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables 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 that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps.
Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Beats Fit Pro will work fine with your MacBook. If you are planning 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 result in better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out noise. Beats Fit Pro use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are intended to filter out noise from the desired sound. The Sennheiser Momentum 3 too use a noise-canceling microphone.
This is useful in noisy environments. The Beats Fit Pro support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises so that they can still be heard even when wearing the earbuds
