Marshall released its latest pair of noise canceling headphones, aiming to carry the powerful Sony WH-1000XM3. In an update to the brand's first wireless headphones, the Marshall Monitor Bluetooth, the new Marshall Monitor II ANC offers built-in support for the Google Assistant and an impressive 30-hour battery life, as well as active noise cancellation. Available to buy from March 17 (and pre-order on Marshall's website right away), the rock-inspired in-ear headphones will cost $319 / £269 (about AU$475), or roughly £30/ €30 cheaper than our current favourites. , the Sony WH-1000XM3. They're much more expensive than the Marshall Major III Voice, the company's latest over-the-ear headphones; although it is interesting to note that these boxes are not equipped with noise canceling technology.
Long duration battery
Like its predecessors, the Marshall Monitor II ANC comes with a 30-hour battery life, matching that of the Sony WH-1000XM3 and easily beating the Bose Noise Canceling 700 headphones. Marshall says you'll get 45 hours of wireless playback. According to Marshall, the level of noise cancellation can be changed via a dedicated ANC button, which allows you to switch between regular active noise cancellation, "Monitoring Mode" & # 39; & # 39; and turn it off completely. This, along with a travel-friendly foldable design, could make the Marshall Monitor II ANC an ideal on-the-go headphone, allowing you to block out annoying sounds from your fellow travelers. When it comes to audio quality, the new headphones contain custom-tuned 40mm dynamic drivers that Marshall says will deliver "bright, crisp highs, treble mids, and deep bass." Hopefully these boxes enhance the vocals of the Marshall Major II, who, despite a balanced sound, weren't the snappiest or most exciting headphones we've ever heard.
