IP ratings refer to the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. 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 (water).
Scoring IPX4, the Beats Studio Buds's rating is read as, the first value 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 Studio Buds, 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 Studio Buds have a weight of 5.1g . We prefer a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
Sennheiser Momentum 3, at 10.6g
weigh more than the Beats Studio Buds by of 5.5g

Both Sennheiser Momentum 3 and Beats Studio Buds have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of more advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero thus "diluting" the noise.
Beats Studio Buds have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds. The Sennheiser Momentum 3 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour commutes. The Beats Studio Buds and Sennheiser Momentum 3 work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that you prefer for commute or that suites your chill time.
The Beats Studio Buds stay tightly in place, creating an acoustic covering that reduces background noise well as preventing the device voice audio from leaking out at the same. Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that they reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. The Beats Studio Buds driver unit is 8.2mm 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 earbuds, its size determines the sound made by the earbuds. Sennheiser Momentum 3 driver unit is 7mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Beats Studio Buds by 1.2mm
, 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
The Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low recognizable 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 can make sound with a juicier bass than the Beats Studio Buds
The Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device produces high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Sennheiser Momentum 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, this means that
Sennheiser Momentum 3 can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Beats Studio Buds
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Beats Studio Buds's measurement is 100.5dB/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 separate people, so we need to have the means to get a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
Beats Studio Buds'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 given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. Sennheiser Momentum 3's battery life is
less than that of Beats Studio Buds by 1 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing 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 manufacturer, and Beats Studio Buds's case has a charge of 16 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself.
Sennheiser Momentum 3's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
more than that of Beats Studio Buds by 5 hours

equal to that of the Beats Studio Buds
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. Beats Studio Buds have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth. Sennheiser Momentum 3 have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Beats Studio Buds
Beats Studio Buds support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio.
It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides 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 Studio Buds 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.
The Beats Studio Buds have 6 microphones. Sennheiser Momentum 3 microphones are 6,
equal to that of the Beats Studio Buds
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the device to filter out noise. The Beats Studio Buds have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are intended to filter out background sounds from the earbuds' sound.
