IP ratings is the rating of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX4, the Marshall Minor III's rating for solids indicates 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. In comparison to the Marshall Minor III, Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
The Marshall Minor III have a weight of 8g . We take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen), at 10.6g
weigh more than the Marshall Minor III with a difference of 2.6g
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires linking any part of the device together, Marshall Minor III are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires. This is a key distinction since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the two earbuds .
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables linking the 2 earbuds .
Marshall Minor III have sweat resistance
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Marshall Minor III have stereo speakers, what this means is that Marshall Minor III's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) and Marshall Minor III have stereo speakers
Marshall Minor III have a unit size of 12mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, the unit size dictates the loudness of the earbuds. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) driver unit is 11mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Marshall Minor III by 1mm
, 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 imply that they produce better quality sound.
The 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 while at it. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
The Marshall Minor III's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
Marshall Minor III's battery life is 5 hours, these last less than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge.
A device's battery life is commonly given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s battery life is
more than that of Marshall Minor III by 1 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, 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 manufacturer, and Marshall Minor III's case has a full charge of 25 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)'s charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
less than that of Marshall Minor III by 1 hours
It takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the Marshall Minor III's battery.
It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) takes 1 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Marshall Minor III by 0.5 hours

The Marshall Minor III have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data movement between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) has a Bluetooth version of 5.3,
newer than that of Marshall Minor III
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. Marshall Minor III have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Marshall Minor III
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 Marshall Minor III have 2 microphones. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) microphones are 6,
more than that of Marshall Minor III by 4
. More microphones record better sound quality and enable the earbuds to filter out background sounds. Marshall Minor III support in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the earbuds can detect when they are removed from your ears so that the music is paused.
The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) support in/on-ear detection, automatically pauses your music, or audiobook when you remove earbuds from your ears saving battery life. Marshall Minor III support fast charging. Usually, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to reduce the time it takes to fully charge the earbuds.
The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) too support fast charging. This kind is similar to regular charging, just that the battery is filling up much faster. Say, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery is charged to 50% in 30 minutes.
The Marshall Minor III have a mute function, they have the feature to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device. The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) also support this function. It means that you unilaterally turn off the earbuds' microphone, but you can still hear the other party's voice.
