Both Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 and JBL Reflect Aero TWS have stereo speakers
ANC uses advanced technology to actively cancel noise.
How it works, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have ANC which makes either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning commutes. The JBL Reflect Aero TWS and Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your travel or that enhances your relaxation time. JBL Reflect Aero TWS sit well in place, this creates a sound covering that tones down background sounds and also prevents the earbuds voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, and JBL Reflect Aero TWS have passive noise reduction this means that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out. JBL Reflect Aero TWS have a unit size of 6.8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates 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 JBL Reflect Aero TWS by 0.2mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound. The JBL Reflect Aero TWS's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters 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 Reflect Aero TWS
JBL Reflect Aero TWS's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through. 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 JBL Reflect Aero TWS
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Reflect Aero TWS's measurement is 99dB/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 perceived differently by different people, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms. The JBL Reflect Aero TWS's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge.
A device's battery life is 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 Reflect Aero TWS by 1 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, 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.
