Ingress protection ratings refer to the level of protection offered by a casing, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX7, the Raycon Fitness Earbuds's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second number of 7 means that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes. Compared to the Raycon Fitness Earbuds, Sennheiser Momentum 3 have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Raycon Fitness Earbuds has a higher liquid rating than Sennheiser Momentum 3
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a weight of 141.75g . We consider a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to move with.

Both Sennheiser Momentum 3 and Raycon Fitness Earbuds have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise. The Sennheiser Momentum 3 too have Active Noise Cancellation making both devices ideal for plane rides and morning commutes. The Raycon Fitness Earbuds and Sennheiser Momentum 3 operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that suits your commute or that enhances your relaxation time.

which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Raycon Fitness Earbuds 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 it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response inidcates 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 3's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, this means that
Sennheiser Momentum 3 can make sound with a juicier bass than the Raycon Fitness Earbuds
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component makes high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Sennheiser Momentum 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, this implies that
Raycon Fitness Earbuds can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Sennheiser Momentum 3
Raycon Fitness Earbuds's battery life is 12 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge.

Raycon Fitness Earbuds use USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. Sennheiser Momentum 3 too use USB TYPE-C.
This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current laptops, phones, and tablets. The Raycon Fitness Earbuds have Bluetooth version of 5.3, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Sennheiser Momentum 3 has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
older than that of Raycon Fitness Earbuds
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth. Sennheiser Momentum 3 have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Raycon Fitness Earbuds
Raycon Fitness Earbuds have 4 microphones. While the Sennheiser Momentum 3 microphones are 6,
more than that of Raycon Fitness Earbuds by 2
. More microphones record better sound quality and enable the earbuds to filter out noise.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are made to filter out background sounds from the desired sound. The Sennheiser Momentum 3 too use a noise-canceling type of microphone. Especially useful in noisy areas.
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient sound so that they can still be heard even while wearing them
The Sennheiser Momentum 3 support ambient sound mode as well, it’s useful when you want to listen to music but also be aware of your surrounding, for example when you’re having a run but still want to be able to hear traffic.
