Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection given by a casing, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value 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 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 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.
In comparison to the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4, OnePlus Buds Pro 2 have a rating of IP55 meaning that
they both have the same rating against dust
and that of liquids is that,
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 has a higher liquid rating than Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4

The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 also have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.

making them have a larger driver unit than that of Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 by 4mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better quality sound.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
OnePlus Buds Pro 2's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 can produce a juicier bass than the OnePlus Buds Pro 2
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device produces high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
OnePlus Buds Pro 2's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, this means that
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured 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.
OnePlus Buds Pro 2's sound pressure level measurement is 97dB/mW. The sound pressure level, something is can be considered differently by different persons, so we need to have the means to get a standard 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 for a single charge. 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.
OnePlus Buds Pro 2's battery life is
more than that of Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 by 1.5 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
