IP ratings is the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX4, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
JBL Tune 225TWS have a weight of 9.8g . We take in account a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, at 10.6g
weigh more than the JBL Tune 225TWS with a difference of 0.8g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires connecting any part of the device together, JBL Tune 225TWS are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is a major difference since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the two earbuds .
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 also is true wireless because it has no wires linking the pair of earbuds .
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 are resistant to sweat
JBL Tune 225TWS have stereo speakers, what this means is that JBL Tune 225TWS's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
JBL Tune 225TWS sit well in place, creating a sound covering that reduces your environment sounds well as preventing the earbuds sound from leaking out .
Both Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, and JBL Tune 225TWS have passive noise reduction which implies that both limit ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
The JBL Tune 225TWS have a unit size of 12mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the loudness of the device.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 driver unit is 7mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Tune 225TWS by 5mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
JBL Tune 225TWS's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an 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 Tune 225TWS
The JBL Tune 225TWS's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device makes high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's highest frequency is at 21000Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Tune 225TWS
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Tune 225TWS's measurement is 105dB/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 a device is can be perceived differently by different people, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The JBL Tune 225TWS's battery life is 5 hours, these last less than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's battery life is
more than that of JBL Tune 225TWS by 2 hours
. Each 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 no longer play for long like they used to.
This is given by the manufacturer, and the JBL Tune 225TWS's case is said to have a charge of 20 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
more than that of JBL Tune 225TWS by 1 hours
It requires 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Tune 225TWS's battery. It is recommended to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of JBL Tune 225TWS by 0.5 hours
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the device, you simply put down on a compatible charging pad.
The JBL Tune 225TWS have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging status of your earbuds and charging case.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators enable you to determine the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or having a low battery.
JBL Tune 225TWS have USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug comes along with most current laptops, phones, and tablets.
JBL Tune 225TWS have Bluetooth version of 5, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data movement between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
