IP ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX4, the Marshall Minor III's rating is read as, the first number of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second number 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, JBL Endurance Peak have a rating of IPX7 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
JBL Endurance Peak has a higher liquid rating than Marshall Minor III
The Marshall Minor III have a weight of 8g . We consider a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to transport.
JBL Endurance Peak, at 30g
are heavier than the Marshall Minor III by of 22g
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, Marshall Minor III are true wireless for this matter since they don't have wires. This is a major difference since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the 2 earbuds .
JBL Endurance Peak also is true wireless since it doesn't have wires linking the pair of earbuds together.
JBL Endurance Peak have wingtips, these are reserved for workout earbuds and come as an optional add-on to the separate silicone ear tip for a better fit.
Marshall Minor III are resistant to sweat
JBL Endurance Peak's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
The JBL Endurance Peak are both dustproof and water-resistant.
The earbud foam is made to be ultracompact and lightweight, with almost no interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. The JBL Endurance Peak have an earbud foam to some it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.
Marshall Minor III have stereo speakers, what this means is that Marshall Minor III's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both JBL Endurance Peak and Marshall Minor III have stereo speakers
ANC uses more advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
JBL Endurance Peak have ANC enabling you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background noise.
Marshall Minor III have a unit size of 12mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the loudness of the device.
JBL Endurance Peak driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Marshall Minor III by 2mm
, 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.
The Marshall Minor III's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
JBL Endurance Peak's lowest frequency is at 16Hz, this means that
JBL Endurance Peak can produce a juicier bass than the Marshall Minor III
Marshall Minor III's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device produces high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
JBL Endurance Peak's highest frequency is at 22000Hz, this means that
JBL Endurance Peak can generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Marshall Minor III
Marshall Minor III's battery life is 5 hours, these last less than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
JBL Endurance Peak's battery life is
less than that of Marshall Minor III by 1 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to.
This is given by the manufacturer, and Marshall Minor III's case is said to have a full charge of 25 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself.
JBL Endurance Peak's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
less than that of Marshall Minor III by 1 hours
It requires 1.5 hours to fully charge the Marshall Minor III's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
JBL Endurance Peak takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery,
more than that of Marshall Minor III by 0.5 hours
JBL Endurance Peak's battery capacity is 75mAh, battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can keep.

JBL Endurance Peak has a Bluetooth version of 4.2,
older than that of Marshall Minor III
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The Marshall Minor III have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
JBL Endurance Peak 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.
The JBL Endurance Peak microphones are 1,
less than that of Marshall Minor III by 1
. 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 .
