Jbl Tune Flex Vs. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 Review

Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).

Having a value of IPX4, the JBL Tune Flex's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 4 means 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 take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to transport.

The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, at 10.6g are heavier than the JBL Tune Flex by of 1g True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, JBL Tune Flex are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds . Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 also is true wireless because it has no wires connecting the 2 earbuds . JBL Tune Flex are resistant to sweat Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc JBL Tune Flex have stereo speakers, what this means is that JBL Tune Flex's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 and JBL Tune Flex have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds.

ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving zero therefore "diluting" the noise.

The JBL Tune Flex have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.

The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have Active Noise Cancellation making both devices ideal for plane rides and morning travels. The JBL Tune Flex and Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your commute or that enhances your relaxation time. JBL Tune Flex sit tightly in place, creating a sound seal that tones down background noise well as preventing the device voice audio from leaking out . Both Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, and JBL Tune Flex have passive noise reduction which means that they reduce ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.

JBL Tune Flex driver unit is 12mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the sound made by the earbuds. 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound. JBL Tune Flex's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low audible frequencies 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 produce a juicier bass than the JBL Tune Flex JBL Tune Flex's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio component generates high human 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 Tune Flex The sound pressure level, 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 a device is can be considered differently by different persons, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms. The 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 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 Tune Flex by 1 hours . Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to. The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and JBL Tune Flex's case has a charge of 24 hours.

A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple 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 fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for extended periods.

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 JBL Tune Flex have a battery level indicator, an indicator notifies you when the device has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging status of your device and 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 the battery is running low.

The JBL Tune Flex use 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 Flex have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in range, 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. The JBL Tune Flex have a 10meters distance to connect 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 used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.

Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JBL Tune Flex will work well with your MacBook. If you intend 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.
