Marshall Monitor Iii Active Noise Canceling Over Ear Bluetooth Headphones

Marshall Monitor Iii Active Noise Canceling Over Ear Bluetooth Headphones – Flagship Over-Ear ANC Headphones

The Marshall Monitor III A.N.C. is the flagship over-ear headphone in the Marshall range, combining active noise cancellation, very long battery life and the brand’s signature sound in a rugged, foldable design. It is built for listeners who travel, commute and work in noisy spaces. With up to 70 hours of wireless playtime with noise cancellation on, and 100 hours with Bluetooth only, charging becomes an occasional task rather than a daily one.

Sound comes from 32 mm dynamic drivers with a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz and an impedance of 35 ohms. Marshall’s Dynamic Loudness feature adjusts bass, mids and treble at different listening levels so the balance stays consistent, while Soundstage spatial audio widens the presentation so music feels less confined inside the head. Adaptive Loudness further adjusts the sound in response to surrounding noise, keeping the listening experience steady as your environment changes.

Noise control for real journeys

The noise cancelling system has been significantly upgraded over the previous model and continuously measures ambient noise to block unwanted sound. On a flight, in a busy office or on a train, the music stays in front of you instead of competing with the room. When you need to hear an announcement, Transparency mode lets the outside world back in without removing the headphones, and the dedicated ANC button makes switching a single press.

Controls, calls and the Marshall app

Day-to-day control is handled by three physical controls: the multidirectional knob for playback, volume and calls, the ANC button, and the customisable M-button. Through the Marshall Bluetooth app, the M-button can be assigned to equaliser settings, Spotify Tap, Soundstage spatial audio or your phone’s voice assistant, and the app also provides custom equaliser adjustment and a battery preservation mode. A wear sensor pauses playback when you take the headphones off, and multipoint Bluetooth keeps two devices connected at once.

Design and everyday carry

At 250 g with soft ear cushions, the Monitor III A.N.C. is comfortable over long sessions, and the foldable construction packs flat into the included premium hard case for travel. When a wired connection is needed, a USB-C to 3.5 mm audio cord is included in the box alongside the USB-C charging cable. There is no wireless charging and no water resistance rating, so it is a headphone for listening rather than for workouts in the rain.

If your priority is battery life without giving up noise cancellation, sound quality or build, the Monitor III A.N.C. is a strong all-round choice: a travel-ready Marshall flagship that keeps playing long after most ANC headphones have gone flat.
