Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance 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 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, 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 has a lower liquid rating than Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have a weight of 10.6g . We take in account a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, at 12.6g
weigh more than the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 by of 2g
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires. This is an important difference as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds together. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro also is true wireless since it has no wires connecting the pair of earbuds together.

Both Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro and Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out.
In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro too have ANC making both earbuds ideal for flights and rush hour travels.

Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have a unit size of 7mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
A driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, the unit size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 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 it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating 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 inidcates how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 produce a juicier bass than the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments 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, 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 more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's battery life is
more than that of Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 by 1 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 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 enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's charging case has a battery life of 20 hours,
less than that of Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 by 1 hours
It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro takes 1 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 by 0.5 hours
