Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
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 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 prefer a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, at 12.6g are heavier than the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 by of 2g True wireless devices have no wires 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 distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds . Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro also is true wireless because it has no wires connecting the 2 earbuds . Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have sweat resistance Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have stereo speakers, what this means is that Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro and Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation makes use of advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds.
ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) to make zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes either of the earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes. Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the mode that you prefer for travel or that suites your chill time. The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 stay well in place, creating a sound covering that reduces your environment noise well as preventing the device music from leaking out at the same.

The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 driver unit is 7mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, 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
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce 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 produces 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 The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro The sound pressure level, 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.
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.
