Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection 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 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, 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 consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to transport.
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro, at 10.8g
weigh more than the Marshall Minor III with a difference of 2.8g
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Marshall Minor III are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is a major difference as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the two earbuds .

which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Marshall Minor III by 6mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound.
Marshall Minor III's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces low audible frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
Marshall Minor III's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device generates high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble

The Marshall Minor III have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in range, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Jabra Elite 7 Pro has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
equal to that of the Marshall Minor III
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
Marshall Minor III have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth. Jabra Elite 7 Pro 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.
While the Jabra Elite 7 Pro microphones are 8,
more than that of Marshall Minor III by 6
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out background sounds. The Marshall Minor III have in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the earbuds can detect when they are removed from your ears .
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro support in/on-ear detection, automatically pauses your music, or audiobook when you remove earbuds from your ears improving your listening experience. The Marshall Minor III support fast charging.
Most often, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to reduce the time it takes to charge a device. Also the Jabra Elite 7 Pro too support fast charging. It's very similar to regular charging, just that the battery is filling up much faster.
Say, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery can be 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 earbuds. The Jabra Elite 7 Pro also support this function.
