Ingress protection ratings refer to the level of protection given by a casing, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IP55, the OnePlus Buds Pro 2's rating is read as, the first value of 5 denotes that ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety, and of liquids that they can withstand medium pressure jet that's 6.3mm diameter, similar to garden hose from any angle for 3 minutes at a distance of 2.5 to 3 metres.
In comparison to the OnePlus Buds Pro 2, 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,
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 has a higher liquid rating than Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3

Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, at 10.6g
weigh more than the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 by of 0.8g
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, OnePlus Buds Pro 2 are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is an important difference since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the 2 earbuds together.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 also is true wireless since it has no wires linking the two earbuds together.
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 have sweat resistance
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 have stereo speakers, what this means is that OnePlus Buds Pro 2's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation settings, pick the noise cancellation type that suits your commute or that suites your relaxation time.
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 sit tightly in place, this creates an acoustic covering that reduces your environment noise and also prevents the earbuds music from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies that they tone down ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 driver unit is 11mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the sound made 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 OnePlus Buds Pro 2 by 4mm
, 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 mean that they produce better quality sound.
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component produces low audible frequencies 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 can make sound with a juicier bass than the OnePlus Buds Pro 2
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component makes high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, this implies that
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, OnePlus Buds Pro 2's measurement is 97dB/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, 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 OnePlus Buds Pro 2's battery life is 9 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's battery life is
less than that of OnePlus Buds Pro 2 by 2 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
