IP ratings refer to the level of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IP55, the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's rating is read as, the first value of 5 denotes that ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety, and the second value of 5 means that they can withstand medium pressure jet that's 6.3mm diameter, similar to garden hose from any angle for 3 minutes at a distance of 2.5 to 3 metres. In comparison to the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus, Marshall Minor III have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,

Active noise cancellation makes use of more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out.
Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't have to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds. The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus sit tightly in place, creating an acoustic covering that reduces background noise and also prevents the earbuds music from leaking out .
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have a unit size of 9mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the loudness of the device. Marshall Minor III driver unit is 12mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 3mm
, many people have a misconception 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 mean that they deliver better quality sound.
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through. Marshall Minor III's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus can produce a juicier bass than the Marshall Minor III
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through. Marshall Minor III's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's measurement is 110dB/mW.
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's battery life is 7.5 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 longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Marshall Minor III's battery life is
less than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 2.5 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. This is given by the vendor, and Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's case is said to have a charge of 12.5 hours.
A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself. Marshall Minor III's charging case has a battery life of 25 hours,
more than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 12.5 hours
It takes 2.5 hours to fully charge the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
Marshall Minor III takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 1 hours
