IP ratings is the rating of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX7, the Raycon Fitness Earbuds's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes. Compared to the Raycon Fitness Earbuds, Marshall Minor III have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Raycon Fitness Earbuds has a higher liquid rating than Marshall Minor III
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a weight of 141.75g . We take in account a lower weight best because lighter devices are easier to carry.
The Marshall Minor III, at 8g weigh less than the Raycon Fitness Earbuds by -133.75g For a device to be true wireless it must have no cables connecting any part of the device together, Raycon Fitness Earbuds are true wireless for this case since they don't have wires. This is a major difference since wireless earbuds have wires linking the pair of earbuds together. Marshall Minor III also is true wireless since it has no wires connecting the pair of earbuds together.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds are resistant to sweat Marshall Minor III's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use while doing sports such as long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc Raycon Fitness Earbuds are both dustproof and water-resistant. Raycon Fitness Earbuds have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. Both Marshall Minor III and Raycon Fitness Earbuds have stereo speakers Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced technology to actively cancel noise.
How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) and producing -1 (counter sound by the device) giving zero resulting in a reduced level of noise.
Raycon Fitness Earbuds have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background sounds.
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds sit well in place, this creates an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and also prevents the device sound from leaking out . Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, its size dictates the sound produced by the device. Marshall Minor III driver unit is 12mm in diameter, making them have a larger driver unit than that of Raycon Fitness Earbuds by 4mm , a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
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 deliver better quality sound. Raycon Fitness Earbuds's lowest frequency is at 10Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device generates low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Marshall Minor III's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Raycon Fitness Earbuds can produce a juicier bass than the Marshall Minor III
Raycon Fitness Earbuds's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component makes high audible frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
Marshall Minor III's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that Raycon Fitness Earbuds produce a clearer and crispier treble than the Marshall Minor III The Raycon Fitness Earbuds's battery life is 12 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge.
