Ingress protection ratings refer to the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say 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 better because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
The JLab Go Air, at 10g
are heavier than the Marshall Minor III by of 2g
True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Marshall Minor III are true wireless for this case since they don't have cables. This is a key distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds .
JLab Go Air also is true wireless since it has no wires connecting the two earbuds together. Marshall Minor III have sweat resistance
JLab Go Air's resistance to sweat makes both devices good 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 independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both JLab Go Air and Marshall Minor III have stereo speakers
Marshall Minor III driver unit is 12mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size determines the loudness of the earbuds. JLab Go Air driver unit is 8mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Marshall Minor III by 4mm
, 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 are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound. The Marshall Minor III's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio component produces 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 implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Marshall Minor III's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
JLab Go Air'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 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 not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and the Marshall Minor III's case has a charge of 25 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go several times before recharging 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 fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for long periods. 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 device, you simply place down on a compatible charging pad. The Marshall Minor III have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the earbuds has a low battery. The battery indicator lights indicate the charging status of your earbuds and charging case.
JLab Go Air too have a battery level indicator, these enable you determine the charging state of your earbuds, if charged fully, or the battery is running low. The Marshall Minor III support USB TYPE-C, an industry-standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. Marshall Minor III have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data movement 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 connecting 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 result in better sound quality and enable the earbuds to filter out noise. The Marshall Minor III have in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the earbuds can detect when they are removed from your ears .
Marshall Minor III support fast charging.
Commonly, technologies like MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to lower the amount of time it takes to fully charge the earbuds. Marshall Minor III have a mute function, they have the feature 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 earbuds.
JLab Go Air also have a control panel on them. The Marshall Minor III support voice prompts. With voice prompts, you receive information via audio messages, like if there is an issue with the connection.
The JLab Go Air too have voice prompts .i.e the device will notify you when the battery is running low, and you need to recharge them. The Marshall Minor III come with a special case. Carrying earphones openly, or putting them in your pockets without a casing may easily put them at risk of getting damaged.
