IP ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IP68, the JBL Endurance Peak 3's rating for solids indicates that they are completely dust proof, and of liquids that they are protected against the effects of continuous immersion in water, ingress of water in quantities causing harmful effects shall not be possible. Conditions should be more severe than for numeral 7..
In comparison to the JBL Endurance Peak 3, Marshall Minor III have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
JBL Endurance Peak 3 has a higher liquid rating than Marshall Minor III
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have a weight of 25g . We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to carry.
The Marshall Minor III, at 8g
are lighter than the JBL Endurance Peak 3 with a difference -17g
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, JBL Endurance Peak 3 are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires. This is a major difference since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the pair of earbuds together.
Marshall Minor III also is true wireless since it doesn't have cables connecting the 2 earbuds .
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have wingtips, these are reserved for workout earbuds and are usually an optional add-on to the separate silicone ear tip for a more secure fit.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have sweat resistance
Marshall Minor III's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have stereo speakers, what this means is that JBL Endurance Peak 3's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Marshall Minor III also have stereo speakers
JBL Endurance Peak 3 stay tightly in place, creating a sound covering that reduces background noise well as preventing the device voice audio from leaking out at the same.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 driver unit is 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, its size determines the sound made by the device.
Marshall Minor III driver unit is 12mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 2mm
, 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
Marshall Minor III's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
The JBL Endurance Peak 3's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
Marshall Minor III's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Endurance Peak 3's measurement is 102dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
The JBL Endurance Peak 3's battery life is 10 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Marshall Minor III's battery life is
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 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.
This is given by the vendor, and JBL Endurance Peak 3's case has a full charge of 40 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself.
Marshall Minor III's charging case has a battery life of 25 hours,
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 15 hours

Marshall Minor III has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
equal to that of the JBL Endurance Peak 3
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Marshall Minor III have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the JBL Endurance Peak 3
JBL Endurance Peak 3 support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JBL Endurance Peak 3 will work well with your MacBook. If you intend 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 Marshall Minor III support APTX HD, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It supports high-quality 24-bit audio (at a bit rate of 576kbps).
The JBL Endurance Peak 3 have 4 microphones.
While the Marshall Minor III microphones are 2,
less than that of JBL Endurance Peak 3 by 2
. More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out noise.
JBL Endurance Peak 3 support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to channel ambient noises so that they can still be heard even while wearing them
