Both Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 and Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds.
How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the sound made by the earbuds. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 driver unit is 7mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by 3mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, this means that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 make sound with a juicier bass than the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device produces high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's measurement is 25dB/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.
How loud something is can be taken differently by separate people, so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's battery life is 8 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 Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by 1 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's case has a full charge of 18 hours.
A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
more than that of Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by 3 hours
