Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection given by a casing, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IP54, the Jabra Evolve2 Buds'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 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
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds have a weight of 10.8g . We prefer a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, at 10.6g weigh less than the Jabra Evolve2 Buds with a difference -0.2g True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Jabra Evolve2 Buds are true wireless for this case since they have no wires.

The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 also have stereo speakers ANC makes use of advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds have ANC allowing 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 sounds. The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour commutes.

making them have a larger driver unit than that of Jabra Evolve2 Buds by 1mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
