IP ratings refer to the level of protection given by a casing, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of 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 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, JBL Endurance Peak 2 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 2 has a higher liquid rating than Marshall Minor III
The Marshall Minor III have a weight of 8g . We take in account a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
The JBL Endurance Peak 2, at 26g
weigh more than the Marshall Minor III with a difference of 18g
For a device to be true wireless it must 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 an important distinction since wireless earbuds have cables connecting the pair of earbuds together.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 also is true wireless since it has no cables connecting the pair of earbuds .
The JBL Endurance Peak 2 come with wingtips, these are commonly used for earbuds for workouts 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 2's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Marshall Minor III have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The JBL Endurance Peak 2 also have stereo speakers
JBL Endurance Peak 2 sit well in place, creating an acoustic covering that reduces your environment sounds well as preventing the earbuds music from leaking out .
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 basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, the unit size determines the sound produced by the device.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 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 usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
The Marshall Minor III's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through.
JBL Endurance Peak 2's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Marshall Minor III's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device generates high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through.
JBL Endurance Peak 2's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this means that
both devices generate equal treble
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, measured in decibels, dB, JBL Endurance Peak 2's measurement is 93dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
The 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 have to charge the device less often.
JBL Endurance Peak 2's battery life is
more than that of Marshall Minor III by 1 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is barely 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 the Marshall Minor III's case has a charge of 25 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself.
JBL Endurance Peak 2'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 highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended periods.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 takes 2 hours to fully charge the battery,
more than that of Marshall Minor III by 0.5 hours
JBL Endurance Peak 2's battery capacity is 60mAh, battery capacity, shows the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store.
Marshall Minor III, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you simply place down on a supported charging pad.

JBL Endurance Peak 2 has a Bluetooth version of 5,
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 2 have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Marshall Minor III
JBL Endurance Peak 2 support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the JBL Endurance Peak 2 will work well with your MacBook. If you are planning on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
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).
Marshall Minor III have 2 microphones.
The JBL Endurance Peak 2 microphones are 2,
equal to that of the Marshall Minor III
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the device to filter out background sounds.
JBL Endurance Peak 2 microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The extent of the analog or digital output signal from the microphone with its input stimulus is a calculation of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the earbud microphone can recognize.
