Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (water).
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. 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 prefer a lower weight best because 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 should have no cables linking any part of the device together, Marshall Minor III are true wireless for this matter since they don't have cables. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the two earbuds together. JLab Go Air also is true wireless since it has no cables linking the two earbuds together.
Marshall Minor III have sweat resistance
JLab Go Air's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use during 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, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience. The JLab Go Air also have stereo speakers
The Marshall Minor III driver unit is 12mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, the unit size dictates 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
, 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 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 measures if and how well a particular audio component generates low audible frequencies 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 can make sound with equal bass
The Marshall Minor III's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces high audible 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 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 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 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. The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and the Marshall Minor III's case is said to have a charge of 25 hours.
A charging case with more battery hours allows 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 takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the Marshall Minor III's battery. It is recommended to charge fully 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 supported charging pad. Marshall Minor III have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the device has a low battery.
The battery indicator lights show the charging state of your device 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 the battery is running low. The Marshall Minor III use USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power in 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. The JLab Go Air microphones are 2,
equal to that of the Marshall Minor III
. More microphones record better sound quality and enable the earbuds to filter out background sounds.
Marshall Minor III support in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the earbuds can detect when removed from your ears so that the music is paused. The Marshall Minor III support fast charging. Commonly, technologies like MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to lower the time it takes to charge the earbuds.
Marshall Minor III have a mute function, they have the feature to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the earbuds. 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 have 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 earbuds notifies you when the battery is running low, and it's time to recharge the earbuds.
Marshall Minor III come with a special case. Carrying earbuds without a case, or putting them in your pockets without a cover may easily put them at risk of getting damaged.
