Jbl Tune Flex Vs. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 Review

IP ratings refer to the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).

Scoring IPX4, the JBL Tune Flex's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes 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. Compared to the JBL Tune Flex, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have a rating of IPX4 meaning that we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust) and that of liquids is that, they both have the same rating against liquids The JBL Tune Flex have a weight of 9.6g . We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.

The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, at 10.6g are heavier than the JBL Tune Flex with a difference of 1g True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, JBL Tune Flex are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is a major distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the 2 earbuds together. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables connecting the pair of earbuds . JBL Tune Flex have sweat resistance Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc JBL Tune Flex have stereo speakers, devices with stereo 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 Tune Flex have stereo speakers ANC uses advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.

The JBL Tune Flex have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise. The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have ANC making both devices ideal for plane rides and morning commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your travel or that suites your chill time.

JBL Tune Flex stay well in place, creating a sound seal that reduces background sounds while preventing the earbuds music from leaking out . Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that they reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out. JBL Tune Flex driver unit is 12mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates 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 Flex by 5mm , as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.

However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound. JBL Tune Flex'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 on its way through.

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 Flex The JBL Tune Flex's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, this means that Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Tune Flex SPL, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Tune Flex's measurement is 108dB/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 taken differently by separate persons, so we need to have the means to get a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms. JBL Tune Flex'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 more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's battery life is less than that of JBL Tune Flex by 1 hours . Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.

The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and JBL Tune Flex's case is said to have a full charge of 24 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before recharging the case itself. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours, less than that of JBL Tune Flex by 3 hours It requires 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Tune Flex's battery.

It is highly adivsable 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 Flex by 0.5 hours The JBL Tune Flex have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging status of your device and charging case.

Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you determine the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or having a low battery. The JBL Tune Flex use USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too support USB TYPE-C.

This USB-C plug comes along with most current electronics. JBL Tune Flex have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 has a Bluetooth version of 5.2, equal to that of the JBL Tune Flex . Newer versions provide faster data transfers.

JBL Tune Flex have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have a maximum range of 10meters, equal to that of the JBL Tune Flex JBL Tune Flex support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps.

Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.

Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JBL Tune Flex will work well with your iPad. If you are planning on using these with Android , ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.

The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 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. JBL Tune Flex have 4 microphones.

The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 microphones are 6, more than that of JBL Tune Flex by 2 . More microphones result in better sound quality and help the device to filter out background sounds. JBL Tune Flex use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are made to reduce noise from the earbuds' sound. The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too use a noise-canceling type of microphone.

Especially useful in noisy areas. JBL Tune Flex microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The extent of the analog or digital output signal from the microphone with its input stimulus is a measure of its sensitivity.

It's the 'loudness' of the voice that the microphone can recognize.
