Sennheiser Momentum 3 Review

Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection given by a casing, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).

Scoring IPX4, the Sennheiser Momentum 3's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. The Sennheiser Momentum 3 have a weight of 10.6g . We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to carry.

True wireless devices have no cables linking any part of the device together, Sennheiser Momentum 3 are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables.

Sennheiser Momentum 3 are resistant to sweat Sennheiser Momentum 3 have stereo speakers, what this means is that Sennheiser Momentum 3's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.

Active noise cancellation uses more advanced kind of tech to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.

Sennheiser Momentum 3 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise. Sennheiser Momentum 3 sit tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and also prevents the earbuds voice audio from leaking out . Sennheiser Momentum 3 driver unit is 7mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the device.

Sennheiser Momentum 3's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, 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 while at it. The Sennheiser Momentum 3's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it. The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Sennheiser Momentum 3's measurement is 107dB/mW.

Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. Sennheiser Momentum 3's battery life is 7 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.

The Sennheiser Momentum 3 have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth. Sennheiser Momentum 3 support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio.

It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.

Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Sennheiser Momentum 3 will work well with your iPad.

If you are planning on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well. The Sennheiser Momentum 3 support APTX Adaptive, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps). The Sennheiser Momentum 3 have 6 microphones.

The Sennheiser Momentum 3 have a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are designed to filter out noise from the earbuds' sound. The Sennheiser Momentum 3 support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient noises to still be heard even while wearing them Sennheiser Momentum 3 have in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the earbuds can detect when they are removed from your ears so that the music is paused. Sennheiser Momentum 3 support fast charging.
