IP ratings refer to the level 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 resistance against liquids (sweat).
Scoring 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.
In comparison to the Marshall Minor III, Urbanista Copenhagen 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
Marshall Minor III have a weight of 8g . We prefer a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
For a device to be true wireless it should have no wires connecting any part of the device together, Marshall Minor III are true wireless for this case since they have no cables. This is an important distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables connecting the two earbuds together.
Urbanista Copenhagen also is true wireless since it has no wires linking the 2 earbuds together.
Marshall Minor III are resistant to sweat
Urbanista Copenhagen's resistance to sweat makes both devices fit for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
Marshall Minor III have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The Urbanista Copenhagen also 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 the component that produces sound in the device, its size determines the sound produced by the earbuds.
Urbanista Copenhagen driver unit is 12mm in diameter,
making both devices similar in how loud their sound can get
, 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 can generate louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
The Marshall Minor III's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through.
Urbanista Copenhagen's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal bass
Marshall Minor III's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response indicates how well an audio component generates high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it.
Urbanista Copenhagen's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices can produce equal treble
SPL, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Urbanista Copenhagen's measurement is 115dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
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 given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Urbanista Copenhagen'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 playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and the Marshall Minor III's case is said to have a full charge of 25 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself.
Urbanista Copenhagen's charging case has a battery life of 24 hours,
less than that of Marshall Minor III by 1 hours

Urbanista Copenhagen has a Bluetooth version of 5.2,
equal to that of the Marshall Minor III
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The Marshall Minor III have a 10meters distance connecting via Bluetooth.
Urbanista Copenhagen have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the Marshall Minor III
Urbanista Copenhagen support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Since it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it provides better results than other codecs at the same bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Urbanista Copenhagen will work well with your iPad. If you are planning on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
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.
While the Urbanista Copenhagen microphones are 4,
more than that of Marshall Minor III by 2
. More microphones result in better sound quality and help the earbuds to filter out noise.
Urbanista Copenhagen use a noise-canceling microphone, these microphones are intended to filter out background sounds from the earbuds' sound.
The Marshall Minor III have in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the earbuds can detect when removed from your ears .
