Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection 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 of liquids 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, Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro have a rating of IPX7 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,

Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 can produce a juicier bass than the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro
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.
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.
