IP ratings is the level of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX4, the Marshall Minor III's rating is read as, the first value 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.
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 take in account a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to transport.
JLab Go Air, at 10g
weigh more than the Marshall Minor III by of 2g
For a device to be true wireless it must 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 as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds .
JLab Go Air also is true wireless because it has no wires connecting the pair of earbuds together.
Marshall Minor III are resistant to sweat
JLab Go Air's resistance to sweat makes both devices good 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 separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both JLab Go Air and Marshall Minor III have stereo speakers
JLab Go Air sit tightly in place, this creates an acoustic seal that tones down your environment noise and also prevents the earbuds voice audio from leaking out at the same.
Marshall Minor III have a unit size of 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 device, the unit size determines the sound made by the earbuds.
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
, 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 yes, larger drivers can generate 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 generates low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal while at it.
JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices produce 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.
JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, JLab Go Air's measurement is 103dB/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 longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
JLab Go Air's battery life is
equal to that of the Marshall Minor III
. Each 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 have shorter listening time.
This is given by the vendor, and the Marshall Minor III's case is said to have a full charge of 25 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple 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

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).
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 enable the device to filter out noise.
JLab Go Air microphone sensitivity is measured at -38dBV/Pa. The amount of the analog or digital output signal from the microphone with its input stimulus is a measure of its sensitivity. It's the 'loudness' of the voice that the microphone can pick up.
