Ingress protection 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 of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IP57, the Jabra Elite 7 Pro's rating for solids indicates that ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety, and the second value of 7 means that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes. In comparison to the Jabra Elite 7 Pro, Sennheiser Momentum 3 have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
Sennheiser Momentum 3 has a lower liquid rating than Jabra Elite 7 Pro
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a weight of 10.8g . We take in account a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.
The Sennheiser Momentum 3, at 10.6g are lighter than the Jabra Elite 7 Pro by -0.2g For a device to be true wireless it should have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Jabra Elite 7 Pro are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is an important difference as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the two earbuds . Sennheiser Momentum 3 also is true wireless since it has no cables linking the pair of earbuds together. Jabra Elite 7 Pro have sweat resistance Sennheiser Momentum 3's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc Jabra Elite 7 Pro have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Sennheiser Momentum 3 and Jabra Elite 7 Pro have stereo speakers ANC uses advanced technology to actively counter noise. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise. The Sennheiser Momentum 3 too have ANC making either of the earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels.

making them have a larger driver unit than that of Jabra Elite 7 Pro by 1mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces 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 produce a juicier bass than the Jabra Elite 7 Pro Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through. Sennheiser Momentum 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, this implies that Sennheiser Momentum 3 produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Jabra Elite 7 Pro Jabra Elite 7 Pro's battery life is 9 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge.
