Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection offered by a casing, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX7, the Raycon Fitness Earbuds's rating for solids indicates 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
Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a weight of 141.75g . We take in account a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to move with.
Sennheiser Momentum 3, at 10.6g weigh less than the Raycon Fitness Earbuds by -131.15g For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Raycon Fitness Earbuds are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have wires linking the 2 earbuds together. Sennheiser Momentum 3 also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables connecting the 2 earbuds together.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds have sweat resistance Sennheiser Momentum 3's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc The Raycon Fitness Earbuds are both dustproof and water-resistant. Raycon Fitness Earbuds have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Sennheiser Momentum 3 and Raycon Fitness Earbuds have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds.
How it works, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero thus "diluting" the noise.
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.
The Sennheiser Momentum 3 too have Active Noise Cancellation making both devices ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. Each operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that suits your commute or that suites your chill time. Raycon Fitness Earbuds stay tightly in place, this creates an acoustic covering that tones down your environment noise and also prevents the device music from leaking out . Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that both tone down ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces 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 , 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound. The Raycon Fitness Earbuds's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device produces 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 implies 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 indicates how well a particular audio component produces high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Sennheiser Momentum 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, this means that Raycon Fitness Earbuds can produce 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. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. Sennheiser Momentum 3's battery life is less than that of Raycon Fitness Earbuds by 5 hours . Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time.
The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. This is given by the manufacturer, and the Raycon Fitness Earbuds's case is said to have a full charge of 44 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself.
Sennheiser Momentum 3's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours, less than that of Raycon Fitness Earbuds by 23 hours It takes 1 hours to fully charge the Raycon Fitness Earbuds's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended periods. Sennheiser Momentum 3 takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery, more than that of Raycon Fitness Earbuds by 0.5 hours Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery.
Its lights indicate the charging status of your earbuds and case. Sennheiser Momentum 3 too have a battery level indicator, these enable you to tell the charging state of your device, whether fully charged, or having a low battery. Raycon Fitness Earbuds use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.
Sennheiser Momentum 3 too support USB TYPE-C. This USB-C plug is part and parcel of most current electronics. 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. Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth. Sennheiser Momentum 3 have a maximum range of 10meters, equal to that of the Raycon Fitness Earbuds The 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 enable the device to filter out noise. Raycon Fitness Earbuds use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are intended 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 environments. Raycon Fitness Earbuds support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient sound to 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 while being aware of your surrounding, for example when you’re having a jog but still want to be able to hear traffic. Raycon Fitness Earbuds support fast charging.
Most often, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to lower the amount of time it takes to charge a device. Sennheiser Momentum 3 too support fast charging. It's very similar to regular charging, only that the battery fills up much faster.
Say, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery is charged to 50% in thirty minutes. The Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a multipoint of 2 connections, the multipoint feature allows you to link to more than one Bluetooth device and switch between them. For example, you can easily switch calls from one device to another without having to manually disconnect and reconnect.
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a mute function, they have the feature to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device. The Sennheiser Momentum 3 also have the mute function. It means that you are in position turn off the earbuds' microphone, but still hear the other party talk.
With the Raycon Fitness Earbuds, so you can easily access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever features are supported on the earbuds.
