Ingress protection ratings refer to the level of protection given by a casing, 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, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IP54, the Jabra Evolve2 Buds's rating is read as, the first value of 5 denotes 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 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
Compared to the Jabra Evolve2 Buds, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
Jabra Evolve2 Buds have a weight of 10.8g . We consider a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, at 10.6g
weigh less than the Jabra Evolve2 Buds by -0.2g
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, Jabra Evolve2 Buds are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is an important difference since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the two earbuds .
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 also is true wireless since it has no wires linking the 2 earbuds together.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds are resistant to sweat
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
Jabra Evolve2 Buds have stereo speakers, what this means is that Jabra Evolve2 Buds'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 Jabra Evolve2 Buds have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome 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 types, pick the noise cancellation type that you prefer for commute or that enhances your chill time.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds sit well in place, creating a sound covering that reduces background noise and also prevents the earbuds sound from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that both reduce ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds have a unit size of 6mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 driver unit is 7mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Jabra Evolve2 Buds by 1mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates low audible frequencies 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 Jabra Evolve2 Buds
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, this means that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Jabra Evolve2 Buds
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's measurement is 107dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds's battery life is 10 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. 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 True Wireless 3's battery life is
less than that of Jabra Evolve2 Buds by 3 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening 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 Jabra Evolve2 Buds's case has a full charge of 21 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
equal to that of the Jabra Evolve2 Buds
It takes 2 hours to fully charge the Jabra Evolve2 Buds's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Jabra Evolve2 Buds by 0.5 hours
