Ingress protection ratings refer to the level of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX4, the Marshall Minor III's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 4 means 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, Nothing Ear 1 have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,

Nothing Ear 1's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices make sound with equal bass
Marshall Minor III's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device produces high human frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
Nothing Ear 1's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices can generate equal treble
