Has Active Noise Cancellation (Noise Control)
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3
✓
JBL Wave Beam ✓
Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) giving zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
The JBL Wave Beam have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have ANC making both devices ideal for plane rides and morning commutes. Each work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that you prefer for commute or that suites your relaxation time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

JBL Wave Beam ✓
The JBL Wave Beam sit well in place, this creates an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and also prevents the device sound from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that they reduce ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3
7mm
JBL Wave Beam 8mm
The JBL Wave Beam driver unit is 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, the unit size corellates with 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 Wave Beam by 1mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3
5Hz
JBL Wave Beam 20Hz
The JBL Wave Beam's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, this means that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 can produce a juicier bass than the JBL Wave Beam
Highest Frequency
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3
21,000Hz
JBL Wave Beam 20,000Hz
The JBL Wave Beam's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component makes high audible 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 means that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Wave Beam
Sound Pressure Level
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3
107dB/mW
JBL Wave Beam 100dB/mW
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Wave Beam's measurement is 100dB/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 persons, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
