Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of 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, JLab Go Air have a rating of IP44 meaning that
they are protected against objects greater than 1.0mm such as wire
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
The Marshall Minor III have a weight of 8g . We consider a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.
The JLab Go Air, at 10g
weigh more than the Marshall Minor III with a difference of 2g
For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables linking any part of the device together, Marshall Minor III are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is a key difference as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds together. JLab Go Air also is true wireless because it has no cables connecting the pair of earbuds together.
Marshall Minor III are resistant to sweat
JLab Go Air's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
Marshall Minor III have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. The JLab Go Air also have stereo speakers
Marshall Minor III driver unit is 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 corellates with the loudness of the device.
JLab Go Air driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Marshall Minor III by 4mm
, as many tend to believe that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound. Marshall Minor III's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal bass
Marshall Minor III's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio component produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any adjustments to the signal while at it. JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies 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 before recharge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
JLab Go Air's battery life is
equal to that of the Marshall Minor III
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing 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. The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and Marshall Minor III's case has a charge of 25 hours.
A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before having to recharge the case itself. JLab Go Air's charging case has a battery life of 15 hours,
less than that of Marshall Minor III by 10 hours
It requires 1.5 hours to fully charge the Marshall Minor III's battery. It is recommended to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
JLab Go Air takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery,
equal to that of the Marshall Minor III
Marshall Minor III, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you simply put down on a supported charging pad. Marshall Minor III have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery.
Its lights show the charging status of your earbuds and charging case. JLab Go Air too have a battery level indicator, these enable you to tell the charging state of your device, if charged fully, or having a low battery. Marshall Minor III support USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power in a single cable.
The Marshall Minor III have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that enables data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. JLab Go Air 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 to connect via Bluetooth.
JLab Go Air 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 JLab Go Air microphones are 2,
equal to that of the Marshall Minor III
. More microphones record better sound quality and help the device to filter out noise.
The Marshall Minor III have in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the device can detect when removed from your ears .
Marshall Minor III support fast charging. Usually, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to lower the amount of time it takes to charge a device. The Marshall Minor III have a mute function, they support the option to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device.
The Marshall Minor III, so you can access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever functions are supported on the device. The JLab Go Air too have a control panel on them. The Marshall Minor III support voice prompts.
With voice prompts, you receive information via audio messages, say if there is an issue with the connection. The JLab Go Air also have voice prompts meaning the device notifies you when the battery is running low, and you need to recharge the earbuds. The Marshall Minor III come with their own special case.
Carrying earbuds without a case, or placing them in your pockets without a casing can easily damage them.
