IP ratings is the level of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).

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 prefer a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.

JLab Go Air, at 10g weigh more than the Marshall Minor III with a difference of 2g True wireless devices 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 since wireless earbuds have wires linking the pair of earbuds . JLab Go Air also is true wireless since it doesn't have wires connecting the 2 earbuds . Marshall Minor III have sweat resistance JLab Go Air's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc Marshall Minor III have stereo speakers, what this means is that Marshall Minor III's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.

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 , 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 yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.

Marshall Minor III's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that both devices can produce equal bass The 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 changes to the signal while at it. 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.
