Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value refers to 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 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,

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.

both devices can produce equal bass
Marshall Minor III's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device makes high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal on its way through.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can generate equal treble
