Ingress protection ratings is the level of protection given by a casing, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX4, the Marshall Minor III's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids 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, Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a rating of IP57 meaning 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 that of liquids is that,
Marshall Minor III has a lower liquid rating than Jabra Elite 7 Pro
Marshall Minor III have a weight of 8g . We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to move with.
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro, at 10.8g are heavier than the Marshall Minor III by of 2.8g True wireless devices have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Marshall Minor III are true wireless for this case since they don't have cables.

The Marshall Minor III's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal bass
Marshall Minor III's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device produces high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
