Marshall is one of the few brands that is close to the audio community. The company is known for its audio alignment in Consumer Electronics with its variety of products, including Bluetooth speakers, headphones and headphones with higher ears. The company is relatively new in this field, but has already launched third generation products, including the new Marshall Monitor III ANC. The headphones are promoted as one of the best headphones with a characteristic of active noise cancellation (ANC). The headphones come with a price of RS 29,999. This, together with a premium design and an interesting set of characteristics, makes these headphones prepare to challenge the throne of established players such as Sony, Bose, Sennheiser and more. But are they really so good headphones? Let’s find out in this review.
Marshall Monitor III Design and Anc characteristics: comfortable and light
- Size – 206 x 145 x 74 mm
- Weight – 250 grams
- Water and dust resistance – Na
- Colors – Black
Marshall has paid special attention to the design of its products. Throughout the product line, it will obtain a reminiscence of those amps and cabins based on the stage, which are unique in the audio market. The brand has managed to create a sense of identity through this, and the last monitor III ANC continues to carry this legacy forward.
The headphones bring a premium leather finish with a rubber coating that makes it feel like an old amplifier. The gold logo in each headset adds some different elements for users. Although the headphones are similar to monitor II, the brand has surely made some changes to make it more comfortable. To begin with, the headband is covered by a leather and presents a silicon band underneath to help relieve pressure at the top of the hand and to help keep the headphones firmly. The headphones are certainly one of the lighter headphones available in the market, with 250 grams, which makes them comfortable to use for a long period of time.
The headphones also come with some comfortable and luxurious cushions. At the time you use these headphones, you will feel two layers of foam. The first is a super soft layer that helps create a comfortable stamp, while the second is a bit firmer so that it does not feel the internal parts of the headphones. This combination works better to provide a comfortable use experience.
The headphones folding mechanism is also good, which allows you to fold the headphones compact. In addition, the case is also compact, which makes it easier to carry without much discomfort. Upon reaching the ports and the location, you get a joystick on the right headset, while the left headset comes with a USB USB port and LED indicator at the bottom. Interestingly, in both headphones hinges.
You have the M button to the right and the ANC button to the left. That said, Marshall Monitor III ANC brings a solid construction quality and offers high -end fabrics, plastics and metal so that Premium is seen from all angles. On the negative side, the headphones do not offer a 3.5 mm dedicated audio port, which could have been a better treatment for audiophiles. In addition, the headphones do not come with any IP rating, which is quite strange considering the price.
Marshall Monitor III app and specifications: Easy to use interface
- Driver – 32 mm
- Complementary application – Marshall Bluetooth
The Marshall Monitor III ANC comes with a complementary application through which it can control multiple functions. The Marshall Bluetooth application is available on Android and iOS, which is good. The interface is basic and easy to use. Once you connect the headphones, you will get a battery indicator together with the ANC control, an equalizer, the option to customize the ANC and M buttons, a sound scenario and more functions.
The application allows you to control the ANC level, and you have the option to activate the transparency mode and turn off the control. The Equalizer option provides you with the option of customizing the sound profile with your five -band equalizer. The application also allows you to customize the M-Botton. You can use it to configure Spotify Tap, change the equalizer, turn on or disable the sound scenario, access the voice assistant or do nothing. Then, there is an option to activate or deactivate automatic game/pause, enable or disable audio indications, adjust the waiting time for waiting and update the firmware.
Upon reaching the specifications, the ANC Marshall Monitor III offers some interesting characteristics. The headset has a 32 mm dynamic controller and active noise cancellation. The headset offers 35Ω impedance and has a frequency range of 20-20,000 Hz. It also comes with a sensitivity of the 117 dB controller. Headphones admit Codecs SBC and MPEG-2 AAC. It also presents Bluetooth 5.3.
Marshall Monitor III Performance and battery life: high in the bass, reliable battery
- ANC – Yes
- Battery: up to 70 hours (with ANC), 100 hours (without Anc)
- LOAD – WIRED (USB TYPE -C)
- Bluetooth – 5.3
Now, let’s deepen the performance of these headphones. To start with the cancellation of active noise (ANC), the Marshall III monitor surely a high score. The ANC works well in exterior and interior environments to block the noise of the environment. So, even if you are walking along a road or sitting in a coffee, the headphones eliminate most of the background sounds quite effectively. The transparency mode works well. However, the only thing missing here is the cancellation of adaptive noise, which offers some of its rivals. In addition, there is no option for automatic pause when talking to the transparency mode, another characteristic that could have turned it into a complete package.
Upon reaching performance, the Marshall Monitor III ANC is surely one of the most upper earlier headphones sound available in the market. Although the company has reduced the 40 mm to 32 mm driver, it will not notice much difference. The sound profile is similar to the previous model, which brings a neutral sound profile.
The headphones bring a powerful low frequency sound, and you can easily feel the drums in the song of the California hotel. The media and maximums are also well defined and provide good separation. This means that when listening to Mom, I am returning to Ozzy Osbourne’s house, you can easily listen to voices and other instruments. I must say that these are intended for those who love listening to rock and metal and still want to explore other genres such as pop, R&B or even some techno occasionally. Songs like Bad Guy by Billie Eilish feel solid with all low -end low, which does not master the media and maximums.
The headphones also come with a Soundstage feature, which is Marshall’s space audio version. The feature works well in most cases to provide a more spacious and air and air experience, although it may not be the widest in the segment.
One of the most prominent aspects of the Marshall Monitor III ANC is its battery life. The company states that the headphones can last up to 70 hours with an Anc on and up to 100 hours with the ANC off. During the trial period, I discovered that the claim was up to the brand, since it comfortably obtained more than a battery week with a single load. I took this for a 3 -day trip and never needed them to collect. In addition, headphones can be completely charged in approximately two and a half hours, which is good. In addition, with a single 12 -minute position,
Marshall Monitor III ANC VERDICT
To conclude, the ANC Marshall Monitor III remains up to date with the company’s legacy. The headset offers a cousin, although it is not very different from the previous models. The headphones provide better damping, making them easier to use for long flights. Active noise cancellation provides hard competition to Sony and Bose, although characteristics such as adaptive ANC could have even more sweetened treatment. In addition, audio performance is solid, and enjoy listening to music or watching movies with these headphones. The battery life is one of the strongest costumes of Marshall Monitor III ANC, and does not need to load the headphones frequently. That said, if you are looking for reliable headphones that offer a good sound profile, they are easy to carry and offer a premium design, then you must definitely consider them.
