Active noise cancellation utilises advanced kind of tech to actively counter noise. How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 hence "diluting" the noise.

The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size dictates the loudness of the device.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro driver unit is 10.6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Marshall Minor III by 1.4mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
Marshall Minor III's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Marshall Minor III's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's highest frequency is at 40000Hz, this implies that
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Marshall Minor III
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's measurement is 92dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
The Marshall Minor III's battery life is 5 hours, a device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's battery life is
more than that of Marshall Minor III by 3 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
This is given by the vendor, and Marshall Minor III's case is said to have a charge of 25 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.
Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
less than that of Marshall Minor III by 1 hours
