Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless driver unit is 42mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass. Anker Soundcore Space Q45 driver unit is 40mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless by 2mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty reproducing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better sound. Defined as the device's resistance to the electromagnetic current, as electricity flows through a wire, it experiences electrical resistance that counters the flow of current. The resistance of a conductor is measured in ohms.
Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless's impedance is 60Ohms, the lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power. Anker Soundcore Space Q45's impedance is 16Ohms. The impedance of earbuds is the electrical resistance of the driver unit present on the inside.
Neodymium magnets if used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output using less power to do so. They can help produce music at quite a high sound pressure level, SPL, with the use of high magnetic flux. The Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless have this type of magnet.
