Beautiful headphones, unquestionably the best build quality on the market, sound is also extremely premium, BUT the boise cancelling is not that great, noticeably less able than its competitors, including budget brands like Soundcore (Q35’s) which have significantly better ANC. Unfortunately, I purchased these for long-haul, and they are just not up to the challenge.

 

La calidad est increble, pesan un poco lo cual da esta sensacin de calidad los cojines son muy suaves, los materiales resistentes y el sonido en cuanto a Rock se refiere est perfecto, al conectarlo con el cel el volumen no es muy alto, pero en la computadora si, esto con Bluetooth, con cable en ambos dispositivos el volumen es mayor. Si eres fan del rock y Marshall sers fan de estos audfonos. La conexin y rango de distancia es mucho mejor y mayorque con los Mode II inclusive que las bocinas.

 

Bastano pochi minuti per apprezzare il suono, bilanciate ottimamente per l’ascolto del rock e l’heavy metal, bassi e medi ottimi le cuffie risaltano quando arriva la gran cassa e la chitarra elettrica. L’app comoda per gestire la configurazione delle cuffie, regolazione del nois cancelling e i comandi dello stick, inoltre nel app ci sono 3 tipi di equalizzatore che io tengo sempre su rock perch ben equalizzato.
Ho provato vari modelli partendo dalle major e le ultime che ho usato prima di queste erano le motif anc e le user ancora su lavoro, invece ora per la palestra e gli ascolti da casa queste assolutamente, se ti piace ascoltare la musica queste cuffie ti fanno venire ancora pi voglia di ascoltare.

 

I have had Marshall headphones for a while now, and every time I get a new pair they keep getting better! I had the Mid ANC headphones before this pair, and the Monitor II headset is something else!

The noise cancelling is far superior, and the ability to change the EP on the headset from your phone is very good. I really like the ANC button which allows for you to quickly listen in ‘monitor’ mode to your surroundings. Great if there is a train announcement, or someone is talking to you. They are also a lot comfier to wear than the Mid ANC headphones in my opinion, though I do miss the gold Marshall sound!

All round, the best headphones I’ve ever had.

 

Son lo que esperaba aunque yo que uso lentes tengo que acomodarlos bien si no me lastiman.
El sistema de cancelacin de ruido es bueno aunque no perfecto, creo que sony esta mejor en ese tema, pero no los cambiara 🙂

 

I’m the owner of 20 odd pairs of headphones of all different types and styles and these are in my top 3.great for rock and prog music, all the features work really as you would expect and LOVE the graphic EQ that allows you change and shape music to your taste. The one fly in the ointment was I had a problem with the headphone cable it kept cutting out, so I sent an e-mail of to Marshall it was like a court of inquiry into the problem (I read other reviews that Marshall’s customer service was RUBBISH TO SAY THE LEAST, WON’T HELP CUSTOMERS and make you feel like a criminal to get a simple 10 cable replaced as I need this cable for an old I-Pod and Minidisk)after speaking to a friend they said get in contact with Amazon as they were the purchasers and guess what 15 minutes on the phone and the PROBLEM SOLVED. I have had problems with Amazon before and they always fix things promptly. will think twice before buying anything from Marshall again, the morale here is keep the customer happy (10 cable) and they will spend more money as I said earlier GREAT HEADPHONES, and AMAZON keep up the Great customer relations. CHEERS…..

 

These headphones are awesome about 90% of the time, the other 10% is when A.N.C. start acting weird and generating weird noises on the right ear cup/speaker. Maybe it’s random maybe it’s related to longer usage times, thing is, it’s a downer, when it happens you can either turn off A.N.C. completely and keep using the headphones without it, or turn the headphones off (use it wired) (not use it) for a while.

I complained with Marshall and they sent me a new pair with the same problem. I hope a firmware update can solve it in the future. But for now, it works 90% so I just stopped overusing it.

For people like me who are wondering if they could be used as Monitors for studio work, yes they can! The no-equalisation default setting would already make it good to be used on Bluetooth, but in the wired option they are perfect (no latency), if you have a decent audio interface you would prefer to have it wired there anyway.

So yeah, I still recommend them, just be aware of the A.N.C. intermittent bug.

 

Der Kopfhrer hat meine Erwartungen voll erfllt. Ein guter natrlicher Klang nur die app ist Mll.
Da ich diese nur fr die Grundeinstellung brauchte und einiges am Kopfhrer selbst einstellbar ist habe ich sie wieder gelscht was fr mich nicht so schlimm ist.

 

Je ne vais pas mentir, je suis fan de Marshall.
Dj en possession d’un Marshall III que j’ai us jusqu’ la corde, je devais le remplacer car un couteur a lch.
J’ai t bluff par l’ANC ! Le son du mtro est un vieux souvenir. Attention par contre en traversant car les voitures ne s’entendent plus 😀

 

If you like the Marshall brand and have used the Marshall speakers, go for these. The headphones look sturdy and cool. I like the audio quality though this is subjective. ANC is not bad but most professional reviews say not as good as the latest Sony. Headphones feel very comfortable once you get used to them. Connecting with Bluetooth is not flawless but not too problematic also. Audio quality and microphone are pretty decent for phone calls. The best part is the controller joystick which makes it super easy to use the headphones. I would think this is much better than touch or tap controls offered in other brands. Overall, solid all round headphones.

 

Having tested the BO H9i and the Sennheiser Momentum 3 and being disappointed with the the controls and software of the first and the clumsiness of the latter I decided to check on the Marshall’s newest product.
I intend to use my headset mostly at home for Hifi listening. Hence my main points are Sound, Comfort when wearing long time and good Control.
The controls of this headset are by far the best among all headsets I have ever used (including some JBL and Bose older ones). The rocker bottom works fabulously and the 2 additional bottoms placed far apart and at a place where you can instantly find them are in a another class compared to randomly working touch pads or small bottoms that are hard to locate on other headsets.
The Monitor also folds into a very small package and is the most classy looking. For traveling it is the best (including the impression you will make on others wearing a Marshall).
Unfortunately the sound of the headset is clearly in another league (a lower one) than the B&O and Sennheiser. No matter what words the marketing specialist use to describe the “Marshall sound” the sound is less detailed and the sound stage is narrower than both the others. With the equaliser set on the standard “Marshal sound” they sound horrible. Bass is way to strong, and the high notes covered with its “wall of noise” of all other frequencies. With some tweaking it is possible to improve it, but the equaliser in the app lacks detail with just 4 sections of the frequency range. Also the headset has limited loudness – surprising given the rock heritage. Here the Sennheiser Momentum has no competition according to what I know.
The Ear-cups of the Monotor are very soft and comfortable, but a lot smaller then Sennheiser and a bit smaller then B&O and with little ventilation and space inside. My ears got hot quite fast.
If there was a Hybrid of the Sennheiser Momentum Ear-cups and sound with the beauty and controls of the Marshall Monitor it would be the best headset ever made and unbeatable.
As they are now they probably are the best choice for people traveling a lot that are not so keen on the absolutely best sound. This is a high class product, no doubt, but with a bit of compromise. The price difference to the other headsets reflects that well.
I can not compare the ANC of this headset with others as that is not a feature I was keen on. For me it worked well enough in all of them.

 

TLDR: These headphones sound better than all Marshall’s previous sets (which is saying a lot from someone who loves their other headphones), they’re also the most comfortable Marshall headphones, the ANC works well, the app/connectivity can be a little buggy (though not enough to keep me from recommending them).

I have (and do) owned a lot of headphones, including 3 pairs of different Marshall headphones, these are my favorite of the bunch. I initially chose Marshall over the competition due to the unique styling and simple control method, I hate capacitive buttons and overly complex interfaces. Since my first pair of Marshall headphones I was hooked, not only do they look better than the competition in my opinion, I find the sound profile very appealing for a large variety of music.

If you’ve tried and liked Marshall’s other headphones (authentic ones, not replicas which are common), you’ll be a fan of these.

Pros:

1) These sound very much like the original Monitor Bluetooth, but with better bass depth and more clarity. They are also FAR more comfortable than the original Monitor which was really my only complaint with that set.

2) I also own the Mid ANC, and that set is great as well, but these are much more comfortable.

3) These have a much better sound stage than the original Monitor and Mid ANC (though I still recommend both of those sets for their price ranges).

4) The ANC between these and the Mid ANC is pretty similar with a slight edge going to the Monitor IIs.

5) I’m a big fan of the build quality on not only these, but all Marshall headphones. They’re very robust and feel very well built, the Monitor II though, is a step above even the rest of their lineup… I don’t see these wearing out anytime soon, and I’m someone who never bothers with carrying cases, my Monitor I and Mid ANC both show very little wear despite being tossed into camera bags and back packs for years without cases.

6) These surprisingly fold up even smaller than the original Monitor, which was already a remarkably small set when folded up, very handy for transport.

7) The monitoring button is excellent, ALL headphones should have this. Being able to touch a button and have my music not only pause, but outside sound amplified into my ears is a game changer. Being able to just touch a button to talk to a co-worker and then touch it again to get back to work is amazing.

Now on to the cons list…

1) Though these are a big step up from the original monitor (as noted above), I still don’t find them to be perfectly comfortable after long periods of time. I wear my headphones while working for hours at a time, and these will start to make the top of my head a little uncomfortable after about an hour or so, after 2 or 3 hours I have to move them or take them off to give my head a break.

My ears however, are never uncomfortable in them which is a huge step up from the old Monitor and the Mid ANC, those I couldn’t bare for more than an hour. If you’re looking for the most comfort though, I’d look at something else, though for most uses, these are perfectly fine.

2) I’m not a fan of the app. The app mostly works, and I think it’s smart to implement as a way to make sure you’re getting authentic headphones (there are a lot of fake Marshall headphones out there), but I just don’t find it very useful or necessary. If you like to tweak your EQ (and for some reason don’t want to do it with a 3rd party app), then it can be useful… and I guess you could use the ANC slider in some situations, but I’ve not felt the need to mess with it, I just leave it at 100%.

The problem with the app though, is it will often take a long time (or fail entirely) to connect to your headphones. It also will say it’s made a change, and then when you back up to another screen you see that the change you just made didn’t save. I mostly just leave the app alone though, so I don’t knock it too much for that.

3) Sometimes when pushing the before mentioned monitor button, when I push it again to return to my music the ANC will activate, but the music will not resume. Then upon entering my music player I see that the music is indeed playing… but I’m not hearing anything. The only thing I’ve found to resolve this is to disconnect and reconnect the bluetooth… not a deal breaker since it doesn’t happen ALL the time, but it is very frustrating when it does happen.

Overall, I’m very happy with these headphones and would certainly recommend them to anyone. I have not tried the Bose 700s, but I have used the QC 35ii and Sony 1000xm2, and I find the Monitor 2 sounds better, looks FAR better, has better controls, and about equal ANC… but importantly, with the Marshalls I don’t notice that cabin pressure feeling at all and noticed it quite a lot with the Bose and Sony’s, your mileage may vary.
