IP ratings refer to the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX4, the Beats Studio Buds's rating for solids indicates 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. Compared to the Beats Studio Buds, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 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 Studio Buds have a weight of 5.1g . We consider a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, at 10.6g
are heavier than the Beats Studio Buds with a difference of 5.5g
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, Beats Studio Buds are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is a key difference as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the two earbuds .
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables linking the pair of earbuds .
Beats Studio Buds have sweat resistance
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Beats Studio Buds have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 and Beats Studio Buds have stereo speakers
ANC utilises advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise.
ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Beats Studio Buds have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the devices ideal for plane rides and morning travels. The Beats Studio Buds and Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that suits your travel or that suites your relaxation time. The Beats Studio Buds stay well in place, this creates an acoustic covering that tones down background sounds well as preventing the earbuds music from leaking out at the same.
Both Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, and Beats Studio Buds have passive noise reduction this implies that both limit ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out. Beats Studio Buds have a unit size of 8.2mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, its size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 driver unit is 7mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Beats Studio Buds by 1.2mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound. The Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, this means that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 make sound with a juicier bass than the Beats Studio Buds
Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, this means that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Beats Studio Buds
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, 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 True Wireless 3's sound pressure level measurement is 107dB/mW. The sound pressure level, something is can be considered differently by separate people, so we need to have a way of getting an objective 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 before recharge.
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 Beats Studio Buds by 1 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely 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 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 True Wireless 3's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
more than that of Beats Studio Buds by 5 hours
It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the Beats Studio Buds's battery.
It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
equal to that of the Beats Studio Buds
Beats Studio Buds have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights indicate the charging status of your device and charging case.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you tell the charging state of your device, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low. Beats Studio Buds have USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have USB TYPE-C.
This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current electronics. Beats Studio Buds have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data movement between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
equal to that of the Beats Studio Buds
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The Beats Studio Buds have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 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 can provide better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Beats Studio Buds will work fine with your iPhone. If you intend on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 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 Studio Buds have 6 microphones.
While the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 microphones are 6,
equal to that of the Beats Studio Buds
. More microphones record better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background sounds. Beats Studio Buds use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are intended to reduce background sounds from the earbuds' sound. The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have a noise-canceling type of microphone.
