Motif II True Wireless Active Noise-Canceling Earbuds Headphones, Black

Superior to everything else I tried! I rotated through these, AirPods Max, 2, 3. I skipped the Bose qc ultra earbuds and the focal bathys (which are at work!). Of all of the gear I have, the Focals are hands down the best for listening, separation, and soundstage. But dang….these are the closest I’ve found in an earbud. The apple products —all of them— while delightful for watching films and listening to music like Taylor Swift or Shaboozey, they do less well with John Williams classical guitar, Dave Brubeck’s Take Five, and of all things, Vince Guaraldi’s Linus and Lucy (Peanuts Christmas score). Each of those products lose detail and separation with the latter works. But these! Classical guitar comes through beautifully. Deep bases, string strikes, trebles came alive. Linus and Lucy provided greater separation and I could hear details across the spectrum. In addition, Shavoozey and Taylor Swift remained fun and detailed, with just a touch less bass. (I had Marshall app set to “reduce mid.” You can also go entirely flat, without EQ and set your own preferences.) For watching a film—as you might guess—all of the Apple products were superior with my IPad. But these did ok. For ANC, the Marshalls nicely cut the low rumbles of the heater next to me (one of those loud, fake fireplaces), but let in things like a fingernails tapping and knocks on my desk. It’s not as good as the APP 3. But it’s still really good. The fit, for me, was very comfortable. Pop them in and done. A lot like the APP2. The controls are also great. Easy to customize and each to use. The downside? Well, as I walked around my office listening to and watching The Edge of Tomorrow, they dropped connection twice. This might have been my error. I also had touch controls on one bud become unresponsive after I reset the controls. Took it out, put it in the case and it came out working fine. I also got mine as Amazon resale for $102!!! All things considered, this was one of my better purchases. :) I plan to carry some APP3 with me and these, the next time I travel. They each have their uses. For sheer listening pleasure, it’s Marshall, hands down the winner.

These earbuds are of exceptional quality and aesthetics. Their sophisticated design is visually appealing. The sound quality is remarkable, although I did require adjustments to the equalizer settings through the app. The EQ proved highly effective in achieving my desired sound profile, although individual listening preferences may influence the outcome. Overall, I am satisfied with the product’s performance.

Awesome sound and performance.

Fit and finish are great, premium look and feel. Battery life is good. Good for taking calls in a quietish space. Comfortable and they don’t fall out of my ears. Not another set of white AirPods. I’m in the Apple ecosystem and had started taking Apple's level of product integration for granted. With these, the app works but connection and device switching is slower. The app is great for controlling features and tailoring the sound. I think the Marshall sound option is the best EQ setting for most genres. I leave the EQ on the Marshall preset with ANC turned on. I’ll then tweak the EQ on the Apple Music app to Rock for my preferred sound. I prefer just listening to music on these to any of my other earbuds, maybe by a small margin over AirPods Pro 2 or AirPods 4. The letdowns are comparatively weak ANC and really bad transparency mode. Using transparency in an airport terminal is a letdown as compared to my Beats Fit Pros or my AirPods Pro 2s (AirPods Max are in another world by comparison). Anyway, get these if you want something decent and different, but stick with AirPods Pro 2 if you want daily drivers with decent sound and great features.

These earbuds sound wonderful as for earbuds. They have really good microphones and definitely sound excellent when you on a call. Maybe transparency microphones might be better but overall you easily can be aware of your surroundings while listening to something. And also I do like the noise cancelling. It just works. Bluetooth works good! No complaints. And also they look sick, probably best looming earbuds in the market jokes aside.

I have been a rabid Marshall fan for years and I've owned multiple pairs of their headphones. When my Jabra earbuds went through the washing machine and stopped working, I decided to give the Marshall earbuds a shot. First of all, I could not get a comfortable fit no matter which of the silicone tips I tried. I would describe the sound quality as tinny, not punchy like I am used to with my other Marshall headphones. No matter how much I adjusted the custom sound in the Marshall app, I could not get the bass up to the right level. The sound volume was another issue - I almost had to have the volume turned up to 100% to get any decent sound levels. I wasn't a fan of the touch interactions either. I can foresee that these would give a lot of false positives with accidental light touches resulting in skipping songs or pausing the music unintentionally. The ANC was not great. Maybe it was because I couldn't get a great fit with the silicone tips, but I was able to hear plenty of background noise. Strangely enough, the pass-through sound mode hardly let any sound through. I really wanted to love these earbuds, but these failings made me realize I would be unhappy with these for years into the future. The inferior quality even made me wonder if I somehow got an imitation Marshall product, but these came directly from Marshall so I guess they're legit. I returned them and I'm going back to Jabra.

I absolutely love the sound of Marshall earbuds. It almost feels like I’m listening to speakers. Also, the earbuds are light and don’t feel like they’re expanding in my ear. Unfortunately, they didn’t last even a whole year (I bought them in January 2025 and they started falling apart in November. The bottom receiver part of the ear buds started to crack and the gold end was getting pulled out when I removed them from the case. So, with a heavy heart, I give these 3 stars.

Great product. Better than advertised. Fit and comfort is far better than I could have imagined. Great battery life and quick charging. We own 5 Marshall products now and delighted with all of them.
