Ingress protection ratings is the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against dust and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IP54, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4's rating is read as, the first number of 5 denotes that ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety, and of liquids 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 Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4, Marshall Minor III have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
they both have the same rating against liquids
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 have a weight of 12.4g . We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are easier to transport.

Both Marshall Minor III and Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 have stereo speakers
ANC utilises advanced kind of tech to actively cancel noise. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't need to crank up the device volume to outcompete background sounds.

Marshall Minor III driver unit is 12mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 by 5mm
, 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 yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not indicate that they produce better quality sound.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
Marshall Minor III's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 produce a juicier bass than the Marshall Minor III
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4's highest frequency is at 21,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device makes high recognizable frequencies and if it adjustments to the signal while at it.
Marshall Minor III's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Marshall Minor III
SPL, is the pressure level of sound, measured in decibels, dB, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4's measurement is 107dB/mW. Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
