IP ratings is the rating of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids such as 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 number 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, Nothing Ear 2 have a rating of IP54 meaning that
they both have the same rating against dust
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 have a weight of 12.4g . We consider a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.
Nothing Ear 2, at 9g
weigh less than the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 by -3.4g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 are true wireless for this matter since they have no cables. This is an important distinction since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the pair of earbuds .
Nothing Ear 2 also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires linking the two earbuds .
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 have sweat resistance
Nothing Ear 2's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 are both dustproof and water-resistant.

Both Nothing Ear 2 and Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise.
The Nothing Ear 2 too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning travels. Each work with different noise cancellation types, pick the setting that you prefer for commute or that suites your relaxation time.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 sit tightly in place, this creates an acoustic seal that reduces background noise well as preventing the device sound from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction which implies 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, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, its size corellates with the sound produced by the earbuds.
Nothing Ear 2 driver unit is 11.6mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 by 4.6mm
, 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 yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Nothing Ear 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 produce a juicier bass than the Nothing Ear 2
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Nothing Ear 2's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Nothing Ear 2
The sound pressure level, 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.
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 commonly given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Nothing Ear 2's battery life is
less than that of Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 by 1.5 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
This is given by the manufacturer, and the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4's case has a charge of 22.5 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself.
