Marshall Headphones
Marshall has 2 headphones on Headphone Ranker, priced from $130 to $250. The highest-rated Marshall pick is the Marshall Monitor III A.N.C.. Compare the full lineup below.
Both Marshall models are built around battery life and the brand's amp-style looks. The Monitor III A.N.C. ($250) is an over-ear that lasts 70 hours with ANC on, folds smaller than almost any rival, and is controlled by a brass joystick that owners trust more than any touch surface. The Major V ($130) is an on-ear with no ANC and 100+ hours of battery, plus wireless charging and a 15-minute top-up worth 15 hours.
Both have Marshall's warm, rock-friendly tuning, multipoint and an app EQ, and both stop at SBC/AAC (the Major V adds LC3), so there's no aptX. The usual complaints are ANC on the Monitor III that clearly trails Sony and Bose, on-ear soreness around two hours on the Major V, and no water rating on either.

Over-Ear Headphones
Marshall's flagship is the battery champion of this entire list: 70 hours with ANC on, 100-plus with it off, and a 15-minute charge buys 12 more hours. The vinyl-textured, guitar-amp styling is divisive but distinctive, the brass joystick handles every control without touch-surface guesswork, and at 250g with a folding design it travels well. Owners praise the energetic, rock-friendly tuning — helped by Soundstage spatial audio and a proper app EQ — though the 32mm drivers can sound congested next to the Px7 S3. The honest downsides: ANC is a clear tier below Bose and Sony (fine for offices, modest on planes), codec support is bare-bones SBC/AAC despite the LE Audio-ready Bluetooth 5.3 silicon, and the clamp runs tight for the first weeks. Street price around $250 undercuts the flagships it borrows features from.

Marshall
On-Ear Headphones
The headline is the battery: 100+ hours of playtime, which in practice means charging these once or twice a month, and a 15-minute charge buys 15 hours when you forget. Nothing else near this price comes close. The rest is classic Marshall — vinyl-textured folding frame, brass-accented control knob, and the signature rock tuning from 40mm drivers: thunderous bass, forward treble, very fun and very much not neutral, though the app's EQ can tame it. You also get genuinely modern connectivity for the money: Bluetooth 5.3 with multipoint, LE Audio and Auracast readiness with the LC3 codec, wireless charging (rare at any price in headphones), and a 3.5mm jack that can even share audio out to a friend. The honest caveats are inherent to on-ears: the cups press on your ears rather than around them, and while the V's plusher pads are a real improvement over the Major IV, some owners still find long sessions fatiguing — this is the on-ear trade-off, not a Marshall defect, but know yourself before buying. There's no ANC and no official water resistance, and above half volume these leak enough that your neighbors will know your taste in music. For commuters who want week-long battery, a compact fold-up frame, and some rock-and-roll attitude, it's an easy recommendation.

Marshall headphones: common questions
Is the Marshall Monitor III ANC as good as Sony or Bose?▾
No. Owners comparing them directly say it clearly trails the Sony XM5/XM6 and Bose QuietComfort Ultra on voices and cabin noise. It's fine for offices and modest on planes, so buy it for the 70-hour battery and folding design rather than for silence.
Monitor III A.N.C. or Major V?▾
The Monitor III is the over-ear with ANC, soft around-the-ear cushions and spatial audio for $250. The Major V costs $130 and has longer battery (100+ hours) and wireless charging, but no ANC, and its on-ear pads cause soreness around the two-hour mark for many owners.
