Known more for its guitar amplifiers in the past, Marshall has banked on retro styling to design its headphones, like its latest Monitor II A.N.C, to stand out from the crowd.

Bough Marshall Monitor ANC II a few weeks ago. The best headphones I've had so far, especially ANC, which does its job very well in a busy office. Sound is crisp and, most importantly -- you do not get tired after few hours of wearing them, as Monitor II is exceptionally comfortable!

I found the size to large. I’m 6ft but I think these were designed for people with wide heads. They start to slide off… so no head banging with these. As for sound quality, they have great clarity at low and high volumes. Still for some reason the speakers feel week even when they’re loud.

Marshall never fails to impress me from their amplifiers, bluetooth speakers and now their headphones. Marshall Monitor ANC II has great active noise cancelling and the way they made the design is really great. The materials are of great quality, the leather the buttons and so on.

These are very nice headphones and they sound awesome! I can hear things in my favorite songs that I’ve never heard before. It sounds like I’m in the recording room. Also the ANC works great, and the transparency mode is not the best but it’s usable.

Summary of goodness:1) Fit and finish feels premium.2) low end is not too bassy but actually likeable.3) voice for movie viewing is very good , also for songs.4) ANC is excellent.5) ANC off gives in a natural surrounding sound.- only draw back is no alexa/ Google.

Excellent sounds very good battery

I didn’t know I needed the Marshall headphones. But when I bought them …. I loved them !

Sound quality is awesome, made strong and fits perfectly for guys like myself who has a large head. Only problem is there a whispering/ humming noise in the back ground which u have to sometimes go into ur equaliser to turn it off.

What a great pair of headphones! I'm impressed and you can't go wrong with these!!!

Awesome headphones with an old school look. Big sound stage feel to the audio quality. Really good for enjoying music and watching movies. The base can be cranked up and still sounds good and the rest is still clear. Not monitor headphones for sound studio mixing, these are for listening pleasure.
