Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX4, the Technics EAH AZ80's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids 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 Technics EAH AZ80, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
The Technics EAH AZ80 have a weight of 14g . We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, at 10.6g
weigh less than the Technics EAH AZ80 by -3.4g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires linking any part of the device together, Technics EAH AZ80 are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is a key difference as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the pair of earbuds together. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires linking the 2 earbuds together.
Technics EAH AZ80 have sweat resistance
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
Technics EAH AZ80 have stereo speakers, what this means is that Technics EAH AZ80's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 and Technics EAH AZ80 have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of more advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and then inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out.
Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
Technics EAH AZ80 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 too have ANC which makes both devices ideal for plane rides and morning travels.
Each operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the mode that suits your commute or that enhances your relaxation time. Technics EAH AZ80 stay well in place, creating a sound covering that reduces your environment noise well as preventing the device sound from leaking out at the same. Both Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, and Technics EAH AZ80 have passive noise reduction this implies that both tone down ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
The Technics EAH AZ80 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, the unit size determines the sound made by the earbuds. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 driver unit is 7mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 3mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound. The Technics EAH AZ80's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, this means that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 produce a juicier bass than the Technics EAH AZ80
Technics EAH AZ80's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, this implies that
Technics EAH AZ80 generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3
The Technics EAH AZ80's battery life is 7.5 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge.

Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's battery life is
less than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 0.5 hours
. Every time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time.
The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and the Technics EAH AZ80's case has a charge of 17.5 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging the case itself.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3's charging case has a battery life of 21 hours,
more than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 3.5 hours
It takes 2 hours to fully charge the Technics EAH AZ80's battery. It is recommended to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for extended periods. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 0.5 hours
