Both Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 and Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Pro have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) giving zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Pro have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.

The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Pro have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, its size determines the loudness of the device.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 driver unit is 7mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Pro by 3mm
, 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 deliver better quality sound.
The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, this means that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 can produce a juicier bass than the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Pro
The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Pro
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's measurement is 107dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Razer Hammerhead True Wireless Pro's battery life is 4 hours, these last less than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
