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. Both JLab Go Air and Marshall Minor III have stereo speakers
The Marshall Minor III have a unit size of 12mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the earbuds, the unit size corellates with the sound made by the device. 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.
A device's battery life is usually 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 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 has a charge of 25 hours. A charging case with more battery hours 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
It requires 1.5 hours to fully charge the Marshall Minor III's battery.
It is recommended to charge fully 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
The Marshall Minor III, the device supports wireless charging. To charge the earbuds, you just put down on a supported charging pad.
The Marshall Minor III have a battery level indicator, an indicator alerts you when the earbuds has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging state of your earbuds and charging case. JLab Go Air too have a battery level indicator, these allow you tell the charging state of your earbuds, 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 enables data movement 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.
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.
The JLab Go Air microphones are 2,
equal to that of the Marshall Minor III
. More microphones record better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out background sounds. The Marshall Minor III have 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.
Usually, 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 device. With 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 through audio messages, say if there is an issue with the connection.
JLab Go Air also support voice prompts .i.e the device notifies you if the battery is running low, and you need to recharge the earbuds. Marshall Minor III come with a special case. Carrying earbuds without a case, or putting them inside your bag without a casing may easily damage them.
