Ingress protection ratings is the rating 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 resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX4, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second number of 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. Compared to the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, JBL Live Pro 2 have a rating of IPX5 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
JBL Live Pro 2 has a higher liquid rating than Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have a weight of 10.6g . We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
The JBL Live Pro 2, at 9.6g
are lighter than the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 with a difference -1g
True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 are true wireless for this case since they don't have cables. This is a key difference as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the two earbuds together. JBL Live Pro 2 also is true wireless since it has no cables linking the pair of earbuds together.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have sweat resistance
JBL Live Pro 2's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 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 JBL Live Pro 2 and Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out.
Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 thus "diluting" the noise.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise. JBL Live Pro 2 too have Active Noise Cancellation making either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 and JBL Live Pro 2 work with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that suits your commute or that suites your chill time. The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 stay tightly in place, this creates a sound covering that tones down background sounds well as preventing the device sound from leaking out at the same. Both JBL Live Pro 2, and Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have passive noise reduction this implies that they reduce ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have a unit size of 7mm 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 device, the unit size dictates the loudness of the earbuds. JBL Live Pro 2 driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 by 4mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound. The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. JBL Live Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 can make sound with a juicier bass than the JBL Live Pro 2
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Live Pro 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 generate a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Live Pro 2
SPL, 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. JBL Live Pro 2's sound pressure level measurement is 93dB/mW.
The sound pressure level, something is can be perceived differently by separate persons, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms. The 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 have to charge the device less often.
JBL Live Pro 2's battery life is
more than that of Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 by 3 hours
. Every 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 the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's case is said to have a charge of 21 hours.
A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself. JBL Live Pro 2's charging case has a battery life of 30 hours,
more than that of Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 by 9 hours
It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
JBL Live Pro 2 takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery,
more than that of Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 by 0.5 hours
