The Marshall Monitor III A.N.C. Over-Ear Bluetooth Headphones are wireless over-ear headphones with active noise cancellation, the brand’s signature sound tuning, and up to 70 hours of playback per charge. The headphones fold flat into the included hard case for travel between rooms or longer trips, and a built-in microphone picks up your voice for calls and voice assistant requests on whatever device you’ve paired with. Bluetooth 5.3 LE Audio with multipoint pairing keeps a laptop and a phone connected simultaneously, so you don’t have to unpair one device to switch to the other.
Headphones with plush, comfortable earcups and excellent audio
The 32mm dynamic drivers deliver rich low-end bass and crisp high-frequency response in Marshall’s signature tuning. The Dynamic Loudness function continuously monitors and adjusts treble, midrange, and bass frequencies in real time, ensuring a consistent tone at any volume. Soundstage Spatial Audio creates an expanded listening space by using virtual surround to place instruments around the listener.
The active noise cancellation feature samples the sound around you and counteracts it. So, engine hum, HVAC noise, and chatter fade into the background as the music plays. Transparency Mode lets ambient sound back in, so you can hear what’s going on around you without removing your headphones. It’s easy to switch between full ANC, Transparency, and ANC off through the controls on the right earcup.
The Monitor III pairs to phones, laptops, or tablets through Bluetooth. It also supports Auracast for joining public audio broadcasts in places like gyms, airports, and lecture halls. You’ll find that a single charge lasts 70 hours with ANC on or 100 hours with noise cancellation off. That’s enough for a week or more between charges with daily listening sessions.
The right earcup features a multidirectional control knob for playback, volume, calls, and Bluetooth pairing. It also has a customizable M-button next to it for voice assistant access or EQ shortcuts. The headphones have soft ear cushions and a padded headband that keep them comfortable through long listening sessions. They’re durable and hold up to daily wear, and you can fold them into the included hard case along with the audio and charging cables for travel.
At $230 instead of the usual $380, the Marshall Monitor III A.N.C. delivers wireless over-ear headphones with active noise cancellation, up to 100 hours of battery per charge, and Marshall’s signature sound in a foldable build. This is an excellent deal if you’re looking for a quality pair of over-the-ear headphones at around half the price.
