Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection 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 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 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 consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to transport.
Sennheiser Momentum 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 cables. This is an important difference as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds .
Sennheiser Momentum 3 also is true wireless because it has no cables connecting the 2 earbuds .
Jabra Evolve2 Buds are resistant to sweat
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 Evolve2 Buds have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Sennheiser Momentum 3 and Jabra Evolve2 Buds have stereo speakers
ANC uses advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds.
ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
The Sennheiser Momentum 3 too have ANC making both devices ideal for flights and morning travels. Each work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the setting that you prefer for commute or that enhances your chill time. The Jabra Evolve2 Buds stay tightly in place, this creates an acoustic seal that reduces background sounds and also prevents the earbuds sound from leaking out at the same.
Both Sennheiser Momentum 3, and Jabra Evolve2 Buds have passive noise reduction this means that both reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. The Jabra Evolve2 Buds have a unit size of 6mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size corellates with the sound produced by the device.
Sennheiser Momentum 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 usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Sennheiser Momentum 3's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum 3 produce a juicier bass than the Jabra Evolve2 Buds
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component makes high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it. Sennheiser Momentum 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, this means that
Sennheiser Momentum 3 can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Jabra Evolve2 Buds
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's battery life is 10 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. 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 3's battery life is
less than that of Jabra Evolve2 Buds by 3 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. This is given by the vendor, and the Jabra Evolve2 Buds's case is said to have a full charge of 21 hours.
A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself. Sennheiser Momentum 3's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
equal to that of the Jabra Evolve2 Buds
It requires 2 hours to fully charge the Jabra Evolve2 Buds's battery. It is recommended to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for extended periods.
Sennheiser Momentum 3 takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Jabra Evolve2 Buds by 0.5 hours

The Jabra Evolve2 Buds have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the earbuds has a low battery. The battery indicator lights display the charging state of your earbuds and case. Sennheiser Momentum 3 too have a battery level indicator, these allow you tell the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or having a low battery.
The Jabra Evolve2 Buds support USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable. Sennheiser Momentum 3 too use USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Sennheiser Momentum 3 has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
equal to that of the Jabra Evolve2 Buds
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. Jabra Evolve2 Buds have a 20meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
Sennheiser Momentum 3 have a maximum range of 10meters,
less than that of Jabra Evolve2 Buds by 10meters
Jabra Evolve2 Buds support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Jabra Evolve2 Buds will work well with your iPad. If you intend on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well. The Sennheiser Momentum 3 support AAC as well.
Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate. Jabra Evolve2 Buds have 6 microphones. Sennheiser Momentum 3 microphones are 6,
equal to that of the Jabra Evolve2 Buds
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the device to filter out background sounds.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds have a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are designed to filter out background sounds from the earbuds' sound. The Sennheiser Momentum 3 too use a noise-canceling microphone. This is useful in noisy areas.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds's highest mic frequency is 8,000Hz, high frequencies are better for picking up treble. The highest mic frequency of a microphone is defined as its upper limiting frequency. Jabra Evolve2 Buds's lowest mic frequency is 80Hz, low frequencies are better for picking up bass.
