IP ratings refer to the rank of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value represents protection against solids such as dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IPX4, the Marshall Minor III's rating is read as, the first number of X denotes 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. In comparison 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
Marshall Minor III have a weight of 8g . We take in account a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
JLab Go Air, at 10g
are heavier 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 case since they don't have wires. This is an important difference as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the pair of earbuds .
JLab Go Air also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires connecting the 2 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, 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.
Both JLab Go Air and Marshall Minor III have stereo speakers
The Marshall Minor III have a unit size of 12mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, the unit size determines 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 find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean 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 device produces low recognizable frequencies and if it alters the signal on its way through. JLab Go Air's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
The Marshall Minor III's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device produces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through.
JLab Go Air's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies 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 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
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time.
The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time. This is given by the vendor, and Marshall Minor III's case is said to have a full charge of 25 hours. A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple 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 takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the Marshall Minor III's battery. It is recommended to fully charge 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 just place down on a supported charging pad. Marshall Minor III have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the earbuds has a low battery. The battery indicator lights show the charging state of your earbuds and case.
JLab Go Air too have a battery level indicator, these enable you to tell the charging state of your earbuds, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low. The Marshall Minor III support USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through 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 range, 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. 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 support in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the device can detect when removed from your ears so that the music is paused.
The Marshall Minor III support fast charging. Commonly, technologies like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, are used to reduce the amount of time it takes to fully charge a device. The Marshall Minor III have a mute function, they support the feature to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device.
With the Marshall Minor III, so you can easily access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever functions are supported on the device. The JLab Go Air also have a control panel on them. The Marshall Minor III have voice prompts.
Automatically receive information through audio messages, like if there is an issue with the connection. JLab Go Air also support voice prompts .i.e the earbuds will notify you if the battery is low, and it's time to recharge the earbuds. Marshall Minor III come with their own special case.
Carrying earbuds without a case, or putting them in your bag without a cover can easily damage them.
