Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means 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 is read as, the first value of X denotes 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. Compared 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,

both devices make sound with equal bass
The Marshall Minor III's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component generates high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can generate equal treble
