IP ratings is the rating of protection given by a casing, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value refers to protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
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 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, Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have a rating of IPX7 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro has a higher liquid rating than Marshall Minor III
The Marshall Minor III have a weight of 8g . We prefer a lower weight better because lighter devices are easier to move with.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, at 11g
are heavier than the Marshall Minor III with a difference of 3g

The Marshall Minor III have a unit size of 12mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is basically a mini speaker that makes sound in the device, its size corellates with the loudness of the earbuds.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro driver unit is 10mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Marshall Minor III by 2mm
, 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 it's true that, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound. The Marshall Minor III's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices can make sound with equal bass
The Marshall Minor III's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well an audio device generates high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices generate equal treble
Marshall Minor III's battery life is 5 hours, these last less than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's battery life is
more than that of Marshall Minor III by 3 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.

newer than that of Marshall Minor III
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. The Marshall Minor III have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Marshall Minor III

Marshall Minor III have 2 microphones. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro microphones are 6,
more than that of Marshall Minor III by 4
. More microphones record better sound quality and enable the device to filter out noise.
Marshall Minor III have in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the device can detect when they are removed from your ears .
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro support in/on-ear detection, automatically pauses your music, or audiobook when you remove earbuds from your ears saving battery life. The Marshall Minor III support fast charging. Usually, technologies like MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to lower the amount of time it takes to charge a device.
