IP ratings refer to the rank of protection given by a casing, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX4, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's rating is read as, the first number of X denotes 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. 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

Active noise cancellation uses advanced technology to actively cancel noise.
ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero hence "diluting" the noise.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.

Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 driver unit is 7mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, its size determines the sound made by the earbuds. 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
, 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 produce better quality sound. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low audible 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 can 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 measures if and how well a particular audio component makes high recognizable frequencies and if it 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 can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Nothing Ear 1
SPL, is the level of pressure 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 before recharge.
A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, 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 device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, 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 has a full charge of 21 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge 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.
