Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
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 value of 4 means 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, Nothing Ear 1 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 take in account a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
The Nothing Ear 1, at 9.4g
are lighter than the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 by -1.2g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is a major distinction since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the 2 earbuds .

ANC makes use of more advanced technology to actively cancel noise.
How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero hence "diluting" the noise.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.
The Nothing Ear 1 too have ANC making either of the earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour travels. Each operate with different noise cancellation types, pick the mode that you prefer for commute or that suites your chill time. The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 sit tightly in place, creating an acoustic covering that reduces your environment sounds while preventing the device music from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which means that they limit ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have a unit size of 7mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the loudness of the device.
Nothing Ear 1 driver unit is 11.6mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 by 4.6mm
, 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound. The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Nothing Ear 1's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 make sound with a juicier bass than the Nothing Ear 1
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component generates high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through. Nothing Ear 1's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Nothing Ear 1
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, measured 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.
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 usually given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. Nothing Ear 1'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. The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, 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 allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before recharging the case itself.
Nothing Ear 1's charging case has a battery life of 29 hours,
more than that of Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 by 8 hours
It requires 1.5 hours to fully charge the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's battery. It is recommended to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for long periods. Nothing Ear 1 takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
equal to that of the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3
