## Description

Each iconic pair of Marshall headphones is built on over 60 years of mastering the craft of head-turning sound. And Monitor III A.N.C. tops the lot. Every time you hit play, get ready to be fully immersed in thunderous bass and screaming highs. Monitor III A.N.C. also comes equipped with enhanced active noise cancelling technology, and reduced wind noise. It’ll almost feel like it’s only you and your favourite musician in the room, on the street or in the train carriage. With 70 hours of wireless playtime, that’s one legendary private listening session, and 40 hours more than our last model. When you’re ready to let the outside world in on the party, simply switch over to Transparency mode. These features are also matched by chart-topping design. The foldable construction along with the premium hard case mean Monitor III A.N.C. is ready to go whenever you are. They're so wearable we wouldn't be surprised if they became your second skin.

Review: No notes - my new daily driver - There's literally nothing I can ding these headphones for. Extremely comfortable, great fit, great sound, probably the best battery life I've seen. I had the prior on ear model and not only do those still perform exactly the same as the day I bought them (despite taking an enormous beating as my daily drivers), but this model carriers everything positive about them forward. I also like the movement of the ANC buttons and the customizable button to the band itself, I actually was confused where they were for a moment. Noise cancellation is very, very good, especially for this price range. Battery life is, as many have said, probably better than advertised to be honest. I charged the old set maybe twice a month, and these track to perform the same. And of course - audio. I'm NOT an audiophile by any stretch, but I like and need good crisp and clear audio that works for everything from calls to listening to podcasts to every type of music. I haven't even messed with the EQ. It just works. So short version - yes, these are super worth it. They're an excellent value proposition, they're designed EXTREMELY well (also love the change in how these fold up vs the older models), and they sound great no matter the scenario. Marshall definitely won my dollar with the last set I had, and this just solidifies to me that they consistently deliver.
Review: Great Sound Quality and Comfort, Nice Design and Build Quality - These Marshall Monitor III have quickly become my favorite headphones, after extensive listening sessions with: Bose QuietComfort Ultra (V2), Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e and S3, Cambridge P100 SE, and JBL Tour One M3. Summary: Love the Marshall’s sound quality for all my listening. The “Marshall” baseline EQ is very good, and I’m really happy with a single Custom EQ that resolves personal sensitivities (more below) better than most of those competitors above. I hear a lovely balance with just-right bass, mids and treble, appropriately placed vocals, lots of detail and layering. Soundstage is plenty wide enough without spatial augmentation (not a priority). Great, plush comfort for long listening sessions, although more earcup depth would be nice for my big ears. My apparently large head doesn’t cause any clamping pressure and the headband is unnoticeable. The Marshall controls are fantastic - love that joystick on the right shell! They’re easy to learn and use intuitively, and the App allows some customization of the two hinge buttons. Build quality is confidence inspiring, battery life is incredible and the compact fold is handy, in or out of the beautiful case. Connectivity is easy including source switching. While I couldn’t be considered an audiophile, whatever that is, my musical preferences have become more engaging with good headphones. These ears are over seven decades old, aided by Sennheiser-branded hearing aids to combat high frequency hearing loss. EQ adjustments have become a big decision factor among those candidates to deal with my HA-boosted sensitivity to sibilance and stridency that distracts from the music. Top decision factors are sound quality and comfort. Then there’s build quality, easy connectivity and switching between sources, battery life since fewer charging cycles translates to longer overall battery life. Controls have turned out to be important. My sources are iPhone, iPad, and Bluetooth connection to TV, with no requirement for higher quality codecs that I probably wouldn’t fully appreciate at this age. As a retiree with no commuting and few Zoom calls, noise cancelling (ANC) and call quality aren’t important in my decision. My musical tastes run strongly toward classic rock and modern variations, with playlists dominated by guitarists including Mark Knopfler, Pink Floyd/David Gilmour, Zeppelin/Plant, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt (her voice can slip into sibilance) and similar. I’ve recently discovered Joe Bonamassa - really enjoy his live acoustic concerts, and at other ends of the guitarist spectrum, Tommy Emmanuel, Jake Shimabukuro (amazing ukulele!) and mellower albums from Buckethead! Way too much about me! The headphone decisions: The P100 SE and Px7 S3 are both fantastic but their EQ’s couldn’t sufficiently tame the sibilance/stridency that those guitarists and vocalists can create. They both also had an uncomfortable clamping force on my big head. The Cambridge App was quite buggy, frequently not being able to “find” the P100 SE’s. The Px7 S3 was surprisingly uncomfortable on my large ears, unlike the Px7 S2e which was comfortable except for clamping pressure. That one had a usually delightful SQ despite essentially no EQ, to deal with sibilance, and there was always a slight veil over the often recessed vocals. The Marshall, Bose and JBL were all very comfortable on head and ears. But Bose controls and connectivity switching were really frustrating and its minimal EQ made my music less satisfying than the Marshall or JBL. The Bose and JBL App have many options, but Bose’ was difficult to decipher. The Marshall App feels like just enough choices. It came down to a close call between Marshall and JBL. The excellent JBL met all my criteria, but there’s a sense that they won’t hold up over time, and there are no user-replaceable pads or anything else. I used JBL’s fantastic EQ to create several Custom curves that worked for sibilance sensitivity, with variations in mids and bass. Realized that I prefer to stick with just one EQ curve for everything. Interesting that I modeled the JBL curves from my Marshall Custom curve with a notch on its 2.5kHz slider that nicely deals with sibilance. JBL didn’t meet their battery life spec despite minimal ANC use, and I disliked that ANC defaults to ON. The separate JBL SmartTX seems like a good idea, but just another thing to charge and not lose. I always have my phone anyway, so not much use. The Marshall Monitor III’s allow me to be fully engaged with music for hours without ever thinking about the device. Nearly perfect!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stylish, well-made headphones with great sound and amazing noise canceling
*by E***A on December 29, 2025*

First of all — the design. I’m absolutely in love. These Marshall headphones look incredibly stylish. The finish feels like leather (most likely faux leather), but it’s very soft and pleasant to the touch and looks premium. The gold Marshall logo combined with this texture is a solid 10/10. I also love that they fold into a compact “shell” shape and fit perfectly into the case. This makes them very convenient and easy to carry, taking up very little space. The case itself looks great too — red velvet inside and a small pocket where you can store the charging cable or other small items. The build quality feels solid and high-quality, not cheap at all. There are built-in buttons to turn noise canceling on or off, plus a customizable button. You can download the app and adjust the settings to your liking, which is a nice bonus. Noise canceling is excellent. My husband uses these headphones for gaming, especially when he needs to hear small details, and he’s very happy with them. The sound quality is also very good. I’m not an audio expert, but for everyday use, listening to music, and gaming, they are more than enough. Overall, these headphones feel premium and well worth the price. I was lucky to get them on sale, which made the purchase even better. So far, I’m very happy with them and hope they’ll last a long time.
