IP ratings refer to the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
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 of liquids 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 prefer a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, at 10.6g are lighter than the Jabra Evolve2 Buds by -0.2g For a device to be true wireless it must have no wires linking any part of the device together, Jabra Evolve2 Buds are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is a major distinction since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the 2 earbuds . Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 also is true wireless because it has no wires connecting the 2 earbuds . Jabra Evolve2 Buds have sweat resistance Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc Jabra Evolve2 Buds have stereo speakers, what this means is that Jabra Evolve2 Buds's speakers deliver sound from independent 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 uses more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds.
How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
The 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 device volume to outcompete background noise.
