Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by a casing, against solids 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 (water).
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. In comparison 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
Beats Studio Buds have a weight of 5.1g . We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, at 10.6g
weigh more than the Beats Studio Buds by of 5.5g
True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Beats Studio Buds are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have cables linking the 2 earbuds together. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 also is true wireless because it has no cables linking the pair of earbuds together.
Beats Studio Buds are resistant to sweat
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's resistance to sweat makes both devices good 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. The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 also have stereo speakers
ANC utilises more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out.
In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Beats Studio Buds have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise. The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have Active Noise Cancellation making both earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour travels.
Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your travel or that enhances your chill time. The Beats Studio Buds stay well in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces your environment noise while preventing the device sound from leaking out at the same. Both Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, and Beats Studio Buds have passive noise reduction which means that both reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Beats Studio Buds driver unit is 8.2mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, the unit size determines the sound made by the device. 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
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound. The Beats Studio Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 produce a juicier bass than the Beats Studio Buds
The Beats Studio Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device produces high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 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 True Wireless 3's sound pressure level measurement is 107dB/mW.
How loud something is can be considered differently by separate persons, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms. The 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 commonly 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 not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. This is given by the manufacturer, and the Beats Studio Buds's case has a charge of 16 hours.
A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple 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 highly adivsable 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
The Beats Studio Buds have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging state of your device and charging case. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have a battery level indicator, these allow you to determine the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or having a low battery.
The Beats Studio Buds use USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too support USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics.
Beats Studio Buds have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers 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. 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 used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides 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 Studio Buds will work well 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 earbuds 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. The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too use a noise-canceling microphone. This is useful in noisy environments.
