IP ratings refer to the level of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX4, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3'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 can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes.
In comparison to the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, Energy Sistem Sport 5 have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have a weight of 10.6g . We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
Energy Sistem Sport 5, at 18g
weigh more than the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 by of 7.4g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is a major difference since wireless earbuds have cables linking the two earbuds .
Energy Sistem Sport 5 also is true wireless since it has no cables connecting the two earbuds .
Energy Sistem Sport 5 have wingtips, these are reserved for workout earbuds and are usually an optional add-on to the separate silicone ear tip for a better fit.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have sweat resistance
Energy Sistem Sport 5's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
The earbud foam is designed to be ultracompact and lightweight, with almost no interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. The Energy Sistem Sport 5 have an earbud foam to some it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have stereo speakers, what this means is that Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Energy Sistem Sport 5 and Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have stereo speakers
ANC utilises advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 sit tightly in place, this creates a sound seal that reduces background noise well as preventing the earbuds voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that they reduce ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 driver unit is 7mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds.
Energy Sistem Sport 5 driver unit is 14mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 by 7mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, 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.
Energy Sistem Sport 5's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 make sound with a juicier bass than the Energy Sistem Sport 5
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's highest frequency is at 21000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component makes high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Energy Sistem Sport 5's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Energy Sistem Sport 5
SPL, is the level of pressure 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.
Energy Sistem Sport 5 have neodymium magnets, if used in earbuds produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output using less power to do so. They can help produce music at quite a high SPL, with the use of high magnetic flux.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's battery life is 7 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.
Energy Sistem Sport 5's battery life is
less than that of Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 by 2 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
This is given by the manufacturer, and Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's case has a full charge of 21 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before recharging the case itself.
Energy Sistem Sport 5's charging case has a battery life of 20 hours,
less than that of Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 by 1 hours
