IP ratings refer to the rating of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Scoring 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.
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,
Jabra Elite 7 Pro has a higher liquid rating than Marshall Minor III
Marshall Minor III have a weight of 8g . We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to carry.
The Jabra Elite 7 Pro, at 10.8g
weigh more than the Marshall Minor III with a difference of 2.8g

The Jabra Elite 7 Pro also have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of advanced kind of tech to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it listens to the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 resulting in a reduced level of noise.

which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Marshall Minor III by 6mm
, 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
The Marshall Minor III's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Marshall Minor III's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component makes high human frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means 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.
