IP ratings is the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IP54, the Momentum True Wireless 4's rating is read as, the first number of 5 denotes that ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety, 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. Compared to the Momentum True Wireless 4, Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
Momentum True Wireless 4 have a weight of 12.4g . We consider a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro, at 12g
are lighter than the Momentum True Wireless 4 by -0.4g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires linking any part of the device together, Momentum True Wireless 4 are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is a major difference since wireless earbuds have cables linking the two earbuds .
Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro also is true wireless since it has no wires connecting the pair of earbuds together. Momentum True Wireless 4 are resistant to sweat
Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
Momentum True Wireless 4 are both dustproof and water-resistant.
Momentum True Wireless 4 have stereo speakers, what this means is that Momentum True Wireless 4's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro and Momentum True Wireless 4 have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses more advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out.
In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Momentum True Wireless 4 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds. The Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro too have ANC which makes both devices ideal for flights and rush hour travels.
The Momentum True Wireless 4 and Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that suits your commute or that enhances your relaxation time. Momentum True Wireless 4 sit tightly in place, this creates a sound covering that tones down background sounds well as preventing the device voice audio from leaking out .
Both Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro, and Momentum True Wireless 4 have passive noise reduction this implies that they limit ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out. Momentum True Wireless 4 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 produces sound in the earbuds, its size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds. Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro driver unit is 10.6mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Momentum True Wireless 4 by 3.6mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
Momentum True Wireless 4's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it. Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
Momentum True Wireless 4 produce a juicier bass than the Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro
Momentum True Wireless 4's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device produces high human frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this means that
Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Momentum True Wireless 4
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, Momentum True Wireless 4's measurement is 107dB/mW.
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's sound pressure level measurement is 92dB/mW. How loud a device is can be considered differently by separate people, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
Momentum True Wireless 4's battery life is 7.5 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. Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's battery life is
more than that of Momentum True Wireless 4 by 0.5 hours
. Every 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. This is given by the manufacturer, and the Momentum True Wireless 4's case is said to have a charge of 22.5 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.
Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
more than that of Momentum True Wireless 4 by 1.5 hours
It requires 1.5 hours to fully charge the Momentum True Wireless 4's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time. Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery,
more than that of Momentum True Wireless 4 by 0.5 hours
Momentum True Wireless 4, the device supports wireless charging.
To charge the earbuds, you simply place down on a supported charging pad. Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro also support wireless charging, always look out for the charging standard of a device. Momentum True Wireless 4 have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the earbuds has a low battery.
The battery indicator lights indicate the charging state of your earbuds and charging case. Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro too have a battery level indicator, these allow you tell the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.

Momentum True Wireless 4 have 6 microphones. Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro microphones are 6,
equal to that of the Momentum True Wireless 4
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out noise.
The Momentum True Wireless 4 have a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are made to filter out noise from the earbuds' sound. The Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro too use a noise-canceling microphone. Especially useful in noisy environments.
Momentum True Wireless 4's highest mic frequency is 10,000Hz, high frequencies are better for picking up treble. The highest mic frequency of a microphone is known as its upper limiting frequency. The Momentum True Wireless 4's lowest mic frequency is 100Hz, low frequencies are best for picking up bass.
The lowest mic frequency of a microphone is defined as its lower limiting frequency. Momentum True Wireless 4 support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient sound to still be heard even while wearing them
The Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro support ambient sound mode as well, it’s useful when you want to listen to music while being aware of your surrounding, say you’re having a run but would still want to hear traffic. Momentum True Wireless 4 support fast charging.
Usually, technologies like MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to reduce the amount of time it takes to charge a device. Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro too support fast charging. This kind is similar to regular charging, just that the battery is filling up much faster.
Say, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery can be charged to 50% in thirty minutes. The Momentum True Wireless 4 support multipoint of 2 connections, this feature allows you to link to more than one Bluetooth device and switch between them. Say, you can easily switch calls from one device to another without manually disconnect and reconnect.
