Jbl Tune Flex Vs. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 Review

Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).

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 consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.

The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, at 10.6g weigh more than the JBL Tune Flex with a difference of 1g For a device to be true wireless it must have no wires linking any part of the device together, JBL Tune Flex are true wireless for this case since they don't have 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 since it doesn't have wires connecting the two 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, devices with stereo 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 makes use of more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise.

How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.

JBL Tune Flex have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.

Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both devices ideal for plane rides and morning commutes. The JBL Tune Flex and Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that you prefer for commute or that enhances your chill time. JBL Tune Flex sit tightly in place, this creates an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and also prevents the device sound from leaking out . Both Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, and JBL Tune Flex have passive noise reduction which implies that both tone down ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.

The JBL Tune Flex driver unit is 12mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, its size corellates with the sound produced by the earbuds. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 driver unit is 7mm in diameter, which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JBL Tune Flex by 5mm , a common assumption 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 indicate that they produce better quality sound. JBL Tune Flex's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates 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 means 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 shows how well an audio device generates high human 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 implies that Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Tune Flex SPL, is the level of pressure 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 different people, so we need to have a way of getting a standard 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 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 requires fewer chargings.
