Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
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. In comparison to the Marshall Minor III, JBL Reflect Aero TWS have a rating of IP68 meaning that
they are completely dust proof
and that of liquids is that,
JBL Reflect Aero TWS has a higher liquid rating than Marshall Minor III
Marshall Minor III have a weight of 8g . We take in account a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.
The JBL Reflect Aero TWS, at 13g
are heavier than the Marshall Minor III with a difference of 5g

which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Marshall Minor III by 5.2mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they deliver better quality sound.
The Marshall Minor III's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. JBL Reflect Aero TWS's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
Marshall Minor III's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well a particular audio device produces high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal on its way through. JBL Reflect Aero TWS's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble

The Marshall Minor III have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. JBL Reflect Aero TWS has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
equal to that of the Marshall Minor III
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. The Marshall Minor III have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
JBL Reflect Aero TWS 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. While the JBL Reflect Aero TWS microphones are 6,
more than that of Marshall Minor III by 4
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out background sounds.
The Marshall Minor III support in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the device can detect when removed from your ears so that the music is paused. Marshall Minor III support fast charging. Commonly, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to lower the time it takes to charge the earbuds.
Also the JBL Reflect Aero TWS too support fast charging. This kind is similar to regular charging, just that the battery fills up much faster. Say, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery can be charged to 50% in 30 minutes.
