IP ratings is the rank of protection offered by a casing, against dust and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating refers to 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 is read as, the first number 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. 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,
they both have the same rating against liquids
The Marshall Minor III have a weight of 8g . We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
Nothing Ear 1, at 9.4g
weigh more than the Marshall Minor III by of 1.4g

However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so it's true that, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they produce better quality sound. Marshall Minor III's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through. Nothing Ear 1'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 measures if and how well an audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Nothing Ear 1's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices can produce equal treble
