IP ratings refer to the rating of protection given by a casing, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX4, the Google Pixel Buds Pro's rating is read as, the first number 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 Google Pixel Buds Pro, 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 Google Pixel Buds Pro have a weight of 12.4g . We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, at 10.6g
are lighter than the Google Pixel Buds Pro with a difference -1.8g
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, Google Pixel Buds Pro are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have wires linking the two earbuds together. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 also is true wireless because it has no wires connecting the pair of earbuds .

Google Pixel Buds Pro have stereo speakers, what this means is that Google Pixel Buds Pro's 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 Google Pixel Buds Pro have stereo speakers
ANC utilises advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to counter it.
Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The Google Pixel Buds Pro have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise. The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have ANC which makes both earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes.
Each work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that you prefer for travel or that suites your chill time. Google Pixel Buds Pro sit tightly in place, this creates a sound seal that tones down your environment sounds well as preventing the earbuds music from leaking out at the same. Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that both reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
Google Pixel Buds Pro have a unit size of 11mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the loudness of the device. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 driver unit is 7mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Google Pixel Buds Pro by 4mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound. Google Pixel Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular 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 implies that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 can produce a juicier bass than the Google Pixel Buds Pro
The Google Pixel Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments 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 produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Google Pixel Buds Pro
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Google Pixel Buds Pro's measurement is 75dB/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 different people, so we need to have the means to get a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms. The Google Pixel Buds Pro's battery life is 11 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 requires fewer chargings.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's battery life is
less than that of Google Pixel Buds Pro by 4 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to. This is given by the manufacturer, and the Google Pixel Buds Pro's case is said to have a full charge of 20 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 Google Pixel Buds Pro by 1 hours
It takes 1 hours to fully charge the Google Pixel Buds Pro's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for long periods.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
more than that of Google Pixel Buds Pro by 0.5 hours
