Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Scoring IPX7, the Raycon Fitness Earbuds's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids 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,
Sennheiser Momentum 3 has a lower liquid rating than Raycon Fitness Earbuds
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a weight of 141.75g . We prefer a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.

The Sennheiser Momentum 3 also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds. The Sennheiser Momentum 3 too have ANC which makes both earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels.

The Raycon Fitness Earbuds driver unit is 8mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, its size corellates with the loudness of the device.
Sennheiser Momentum 3 driver unit is 7mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Raycon Fitness Earbuds 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 it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound. The Raycon Fitness Earbuds's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, 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 3's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, this means that
Sennheiser Momentum 3 produce a juicier bass than the Raycon Fitness Earbuds
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. Sennheiser Momentum 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, this means that
Raycon Fitness Earbuds generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Sennheiser Momentum 3

The Raycon Fitness Earbuds have Bluetooth version of 5.3, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data movement 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. The 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. Sennheiser Momentum 3 microphones are 6,
more than that of Raycon Fitness Earbuds by 2
. More microphones record better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out noise. Raycon Fitness Earbuds use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are made to filter out noise from the desired sound.
The Sennheiser Momentum 3 too have a noise-canceling type of microphone. Especially useful in noisy environments. Raycon Fitness Earbuds support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient sound to still be heard even while wearing the earbuds
