Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 driver unit is 7mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Skullcandy Indy Fuel by 1mm
, 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 indicate that they produce better quality sound.
Skullcandy Indy Fuel's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 produce a juicier bass than the Skullcandy Indy Fuel
Skullcandy Indy Fuel's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device makes high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's highest frequency is at 21000Hz, this implies that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 can produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Skullcandy Indy Fuel
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Skullcandy Indy Fuel's measurement is 105dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's sound pressure level measurement is 107dB/mW. The sound pressure level, something is can be perceived differently by separate people, so we need to have a way of getting a standard measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
