Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 ✓
ANC utilises more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Sony WF 1000XM3 have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have Active Noise Cancellation making both devices ideal for flights and morning travels. Each work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that you prefer for commute or that enhances your chill time.

Driver Unit Size
Sony WF 1000XM3
6mm
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 7mm
Sony WF 1000XM3 have a unit size of 6mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, the unit size dictates the sound made by the device.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 driver unit is 7mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Sony WF 1000XM3 by 1mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Sony WF 1000XM3
20hz
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 5hz
