The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise.
ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.

Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 driver unit is 7mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC 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. The JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component 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 means that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 can produce a juicier bass than the JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC
The JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component makes 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 means that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's measurement is 110dB/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 a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms. JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC's battery life is 15 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge.
A device's battery life is 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 JLab Audio Epic Air Sport ANC by 8 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
