Features

I will start with the impedance which is 100 Ohm in the case with Sennheiser Momentum 3 and Momentum 2 has only 28 Ohm. There is also a huge difference between their ranges of frequency response.

Momentum 3 works with frequency response 6 Hz - 22 kHz, while Momentum 2 has a range from 16 Hz to 22 kHz. Sennheiser Momentum 2 vs Momentum 3 has a higher sensitivity. The first device has 120 dB and the second one — 99 dB. In addition, they both have Google Assistant and Siri support.

If your priority is long battery life, then Sennheiser Momentum 2 is a better choice as it can work up to 25 hours after you charge it for 2 hours. In contrast, Momentum 3 allows listening to music for about 17 hours after 3 hours of charging. Both appliances have a battery level indicator. However, there is no speed charge function available.

Sound

The bass that you get with Momentum 3 sounds organic. Listening to a drum pedal kick sounds here like a live drum kit.

Momentum 2 makes clarity and cohesiveness of the music. However, with this appliance you will hear congested soundstage and separation. These two pairs of headphones by Sennheiser have active noise canceling.

Comfort and design

A built-in microphone lets you speak on the phone with any of these headphones. For those who are looking for a lightweight device, Sennheiser Momentum 2 vs Momentum 3 is perfect as its weight is only 140 g. You can take the headphones with you everywhere, as they are foldable and come with a carry case.
