IP ratings is the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IP68, the JBL Endurance Peak 3's rating for solids indicates that they are completely dust proof, and the second value of 8 means that they are protected against the effects of continuous immersion in water, ingress of water in quantities causing harmful effects shall not be possible. Conditions should be more severe than for numeral 7..
Compared to the JBL Endurance Peak 3, 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,
JBL Endurance Peak 3 has a higher liquid rating than Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have a weight of 25g . We consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, at 10.6g
are lighter than the JBL Endurance Peak 3 by -14.4g
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, JBL Endurance Peak 3 are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is a major distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the two earbuds together.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 also is true wireless since it doesn't have wires linking the two earbuds together.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have wingtips, these are reserved for earbuds for workouts and are usually an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a better fit.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 are resistant to sweat
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have stereo speakers, what this means is that JBL Endurance Peak 3'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 JBL Endurance Peak 3 have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 sit tightly in place, creating a sound seal that reduces background noise well as preventing the device music from leaking out .
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that they reduce ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size corellates with the loudness of the device.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 driver unit is 7mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 3mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
JBL Endurance Peak 3's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 can produce a juicier bass than the JBL Endurance Peak 3
The JBL Endurance Peak 3's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 produce a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Endurance Peak 3
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Endurance Peak 3's measurement is 102dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's sound pressure level measurement is 107dB/mW. How loud something is can be considered differently by separate persons, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3'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 commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's battery life is
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 3 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely 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 vendor, and JBL Endurance Peak 3's case has a full charge of 40 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,
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 19 hours
It requires 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Endurance Peak 3's battery. It is recommended to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for long periods.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 0.5 hours
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you just put down on a supported charging pad.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. Its lights display the charging state of your earbuds and charging case.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have a battery level indicator, these allow you tell the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 support USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too support USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics.
