Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
The JBL Wave Buds have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have Active Noise Cancellation making both earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels. Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that you prefer for travel or that suites your relaxation time.
Has Passive Noise Reduction

The JBL Wave Buds stay tightly in place, this creates a sound seal that reduces your environment sounds and also prevents the earbuds voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that both limit ambient noise without using ANC to cancel it out.
Driver Unit Size
JBL Wave Buds
8mm
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 7mm
JBL Wave Buds have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, 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 Wave Buds by 1mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
JBL Wave Buds
20Hz
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 5Hz
The JBL Wave Buds'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 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 Wave Buds
Highest Frequency
JBL Wave Buds
20,000Hz
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 21,000Hz
The JBL Wave Buds's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device produces high audible frequencies and if it adjustments 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 can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Wave Buds
Sound Pressure Level
JBL Wave Buds
100dB/mW
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 107dB/mW
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Wave Buds'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. The sound pressure level, a device is can be perceived differently by different persons, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
