Sony WF C500 ✗
ANC uses advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to counter it. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds.

Driver Unit Size
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3
7mm
Sony WF C500 5.8mm
The Sony WF C500 driver unit is 5.8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, its 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 C500 by 1.2mm
, 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
Lowest Frequency
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3
5Hz
Sony WF C500 20Hz
The Sony WF C500's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, this means that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 make sound with a juicier bass than the Sony WF C500
Highest Frequency
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3
21000Hz
Sony WF C500 20000Hz
Sony WF C500's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio device produces high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's highest frequency is at 21000Hz, this means that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Sony WF C500
Sound Pressure Level
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3
107dB/mW
Sony WF C500 ✗
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's measurement is 107dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Has A Neodymium Magnet
