Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating represents protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (water).
Having a value of IPX7, the Raycon Fitness Earbuds's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 7 means that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes. In comparison 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,
Marshall Minor III has a lower liquid rating than Raycon Fitness Earbuds
The Raycon Fitness Earbuds have a weight of 141.75g . We prefer a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
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 linking any part of the device together, Raycon Fitness Earbuds are true wireless for this matter since they have no wires. This is a major distinction as some wireless earbuds have cables linking the pair of earbuds together. Marshall Minor III also is true wireless because it doesn't have wires linking the two earbuds together.
