Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection given by a casing, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IP54, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4's rating for solids indicates 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 Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4, JBL Endurance Peak 3 have a rating of IP68 meaning that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 has a lower dust resistance than JBL Endurance Peak 3
and that of liquids is that,
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 has a lower liquid rating than JBL Endurance Peak 3
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 have a weight of 12.4g . We prefer a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to carry.
JBL Endurance Peak 3, at 25g
are heavier than the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 with a difference of 12.6g
True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is a key difference since wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds .
JBL Endurance Peak 3 also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables connecting the two earbuds .
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have wingtips, these are reserved for earbuds for workouts and are usually an optional add-on to each silicone ear tip for a better fit.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 are resistant to sweat
JBL Endurance Peak 3's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 are both dustproof and water-resistant.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 have stereo speakers, what this means is that Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 also have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background noise.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 sit well in place, this creates an acoustic seal that tones down background sounds and also prevents the device sound from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this means that both limit ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 have a unit size of 7mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size corellates with the sound produced by the earbuds.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 by 3mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
JBL Endurance Peak 3's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 can make sound with a juicier bass than the JBL Endurance Peak 3
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4'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 makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Endurance Peak 3's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the JBL Endurance Peak 3
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, Sennheiser 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.
JBL Endurance Peak 3's sound pressure level measurement is 102dB/mW. The sound pressure level, something is can be considered differently by different people, so we need to have the means to get an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4's battery life is 7.5 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
JBL Endurance Peak 3's battery life is
more than that of Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 by 2.5 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening 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 Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4's case has a charge of 22.5 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.
JBL Endurance Peak 3's charging case has a battery life of 40 hours,
more than that of Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 by 17.5 hours
It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4's battery. It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery,
more than that of Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 by 0.5 hours
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you just put down on a supported charging pad.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the device has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging status of your device and charging case.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you to tell the charging state of your earbuds, if charged fully, or the battery is running low.
