IP ratings is the rank of protection offered by a casing, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring IP44, the JLab Go Air's rating for solids indicates that they are protected against objects greater than 1.0mm such as wire, and the second number 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 JLab Go Air, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
JLab Go Air have a weight of 10g . We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, at 140g
are heavier than the JLab Go Air with a difference of 130g
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, JLab Go Air are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is a major difference since wireless earbuds have wires linking the 2 earbuds together.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables connecting the pair of earbuds together.
JLab Go Air have sweat resistance
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
JLab Go Air have stereo speakers, what this means is that JLab Go Air'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 JLab Go Air have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
JLab Go Air stay tightly in place, creating a sound covering that tones down background noise while preventing the earbuds sound from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that both reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
JLab Go Air have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the sound produced by the device.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 driver unit is 7mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of JLab Go Air by 1mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, 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 make sound with a juicier bass than the JLab Go Air
The JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's highest frequency is at 21000Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the JLab Go Air
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JLab Go Air's measurement is 103dB/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 separate persons, so we need to have the means to get a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The JLab Go Air have neodymium magnets, when used in earbuds produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output using less power to do so. They can help produce music at quite a high sound pressure level, using high magnetic flux.
JLab Go Air's battery life is 5 hours, a device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's battery life is
more than that of JLab Go Air by 2 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and JLab Go Air's case has a full charge of 15 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
more than that of JLab Go Air by 6 hours
It requires 1.5 hours to fully charge the JLab Go Air's battery. It is recommended to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
equal to that of the JLab Go Air

equal to that of the JLab Go Air
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 will work well with your MacBook. If you intend on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 support APTX Adaptive, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps).
JLab Go Air have 2 microphones.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 microphones are 6,
more than that of JLab Go Air by 4
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out noise.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are made to filter out background sounds from the desired sound.
The JLab Go Air microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The amount of the analog or digital output signal from the microphone with its input stimulus is a calculation of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the voice that the earbud microphone can pick up.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient sound so that they can still be heard even while wearing them
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 support in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the device can detect when they are removed from your ears so that the music is paused.
