I really like Marshall's first Approach on ANC headphones. If they might be able to fine tune ANC performance with some later firmware updates - I will be on the buyers' list so quickly 😎
i watched all reviews of marshall's and sony's. You've done the best ANC comprasion. thx :). BTW. i bought marshall anyway, better build quality and i love very good bass and excelent vocals.
I like the app. Adjustable ANC and EQ presets that can be accessed via the cans. Good work Marshall, let's see some codecs added to the next one. Great review Aaron.
NIce review. I would like to know in the next video if there is still there the anoying blutetooth connexion noise as the older Monitor. Thanks for your work.
Thanks for the review Aaron, how are the Marshalls compared to the Sennheiser momentum 3, I love the design of the Marshalls but also the Sennheiser, which one is more comfortable out of the Marshall monitor 2 and the Sennheiser? In the UK the Marshall cost £270 and the Sennheiser m3s cost £349, is the price difference justified to buy the Sennheiser over the Marshall? Il be grateful for any advice thanks!
Hi, sooo I have a Big question. I'm about to buy my first high quality headphones, but I'm torn between the Sony WH1000XM4 and the Marshall Monitor 2 ANC. What Is your take on these two, which one Is better in sound? In my local store the Sony are in discount so it's a bit cheaper than the Marshall, but I do like more the Marshall's looks. Now the break point for me Is the sound quality, not so much the ANC, I have been told and found on internet that the sound quality Is better in the Sony's than the Marshall's, but how much?? Cause if it's just by a bit I think I'll go with the marshall because of the durability. (Also I do prefer a Neutral Sound or Soundstage). Thanks in advance for any advice!!
It depends on what you prefer! If you want a crisp and clear headphones, Marshall is the way to go! But if you prefer the bass of the Sony XM4, then get that instead! Marshall Monitor II looks hella nice tho. Not something generic
I prefer the marshall sound, to my ears the sony's are boomy a bit dark and recessed in the mids. The sony's do have a wider soundstage and better noise cancelling though. The marshalls are elevated in the bass and treble while having nice mids and clarity, their build quality is also much better and i prefer the physical buttons. They are a bit overpriced though, i only bought them when they were on sale at $100 less.
This is not the first attempt of Marshall on ANC. The first one was the Mid ANC, which has the advantage of having Aptx support (which is surprisingly lacking on Monitor 2) and being much lighter at 210g vs 320g. I also think the design of Mid ANC is cooler. I just hope Marshall will release soon a Mid ANC 2 version!
help me guys, i just bought this gem, and mine boots up with ANC turned ON every time, regardless in which state it was when i turned it off. is it a bug or feature? does yours behave the same?
You make really good videos. I think that you deserve more views that you get. I would love to help with your SEO and general tasks with your youtube channel. 😄
May I ask, how the ANC compares between these and M&D MW65? It seemed similar when I switched between each of your video reviews. Thank you for these, by the way! I know nothing really compares to getting a hands-on look at headphones, but you're one of the few reviewers I've found who actually give us a better test on ANC function, rather than just listing specs and pointing out where buttons are.
I like Marshall Headphones/Speakers But little Scary the expose wire cables in the headphones..Great Features/Specs..I cannot Decide if I get Marshall/Bose/Sony Headphones..😊
I just bought a used Marshall Monitor II ANC on ebay and I was wondering if it is actually real. With the app would a fake one be able to connect to the app? Which it does. It just doesn‘t show the Serial Number in the app, which made me wonder.
is there any stutter or glitches when using the app? the songs starts to stutter and could not understand the song anymore. I am using a samsung phone.
Hi! really liked your channel since you had reviews of almost all marshall headphones i think haha hard to find reviews on those. im really considering marshall major III BT, monitor BTs now. I would still like to try them on to see which is more comfortable since i never tried anon-ear before (ive only owned 1 headset the hyperx cloud core). Great review and comparison! What are your thoughts on using them for PC also, as im looking for headphones i would use for both PC consumption (watching, gaming, etc) and also on my phone when outside. Am i right to assume that if i want to play on a pc with any of these, i would need to use the wire for the least latency? Lastly, if im not really needing of the ANC, would these headphones still be a better purchase than the newer ANC marshalls? thanks!
My older marshall monitor bluetooth with 3rd party ear cushion sounds way better than this new monitor anc. This new one has less bass and sometimes even harsh on the highs. Although I can adjust the eq with the marshall app and the eq on spotify to up the bass and lower the treble, the my older one without the anc (with 3rd party earcushions) still sounds better. It’s growling bass is punchier and the mids and highs are much delicious in the ear that it makes me want to do ah headbang while listening to rock and metal. This new monitor anc on the other hand not so much. I can hear some bass yes but its weaker, I don’t feel it that much. But this new monitor anc is more comfortable on the ear and the anc is useful drowning out talkative people in a cafe. So when I am working in a cafe I use this monitor anc but when I’m home I use the older monitor bt
How does this Marshall fare against the Sony XM4? I can't seem to find any comparison on TH-cam, would really appreciate any input. Torn between XM4 and this one
@@evcanada1451 maybe the ANC plays a huge part. It's surreal. The sound quality is very similar, I listen to a lot of rock and heavy metal songs & I don't feel any different between the Sony and Marshall, except that Marshall's vocals are a little clearer but Sony has more body to it.
Nah sorry, once you go for ambient sound the microphone works well and by the way you want to hear how good is the mic on the XM's go to WhatsApp add your self to the contacts list and then send yourself a vocal message and you'll see how clear it is, I dunno why it doesn't work the same on WhatsApp as on Aaron's video
I miss travelling and going to cafés... 😭 I cannot wait for the vaccine to be up and running and this pandemic to be over to properly use my Marshal anc headphones.. not just walking around the flat listening to podcasts 🥲
You can liturly tell no difference between sbc and aac with compressed music that you get on spotify. Only tidal and the original flac file shows a difference. I have headphones with aptx and sbc and aac and i just keep them on aac to reserve battery life and also because the have no latency with aac otherwise sbc. And my speakers also sbc
@@emeraldplayer1128 i disagree. I can hear a difference from sbc to aac, sbc just doesn't have the same clarity. But Aac to aptx doesnt seem to provide much difference in sound from my experience.
@@humanmale1085 Get over it except if you are a producer and you make your own music like i do you want see the slightest differense with compressed files that youtube or spotify provides. Tidal shows a small differense on the high frequency but still. I cant see a diferense between sbc and ldac you are telling me that aac has better clarity😛.
@@humanmale1085 Well then its probably your phone or your headphones there shoud be no difference. Of course the headpjones in the video shoud use aac mainly for low latency but its not a deal breaker personally i have been using sbc on my headphones by accident and didnt even notice until i looked up at the settings.
Dont buy marshall headphones with those knobs. They stopped working on my monitor bt after a year. I used them as rugged as possible because of how it was made nicely but it failed to survive.
Hate how you like to put a question mark behind statements in your titles. I'm not watching.👎 Just stopped in to say that real quick. I know you won't care, but there it is💁♂️
stretch test gave me anxeity LOL
Yeah I really don't understand why it's necessary to stretch them like that as if a planet is going to wear them lol
Can you compare it to MID ANC?! Which has a better sound? I'm thinking of upgrading my MID ANC 😊
Bruh when you said ok google my phone was activated lmao
😂😂😂😂😂😂
If the upcoming sony xm4 doesn't have better mic i might just give the Marshall a try. Because that microphone quality is important to me.
If its important buy bose or jabra or sennheiser
@@albertweedsteinthethuggeni7797 Jabra’s mic quality is superb, I myself own the 85H

Thanks! 😁
I have been waiting for this review.
Served piping hot!
Watching from 🍁 Toronto. Waiting for Amazon to deliver these today.
Late to the party here in Singapore, but a very good and informative review. Thank you !
You’re welcome! 😁
I like the app. Adjustable ANC and EQ presets that can be accessed via the cans. Good work Marshall, let's see some codecs added to the next one. Great review Aaron.
Thanks for mic test and noise cancelation comparison
Welcome! Please subscribe too! 😁
please mid anc vs monitor ii anc
I just purchased the Skullcandy crusher anc. Fun headphones for sure.
I wonder how they sound with a wire compared to bluetooth
They sound even better wired, sound is richer and wider to my ears.
Those Marshall are the best headphones you can buy in an alternate universe we’re competition doesn’t exist
Great review!!
Thanks!
Do they have multi device support? Can the firmware be updated? These are two issues past Marshall headphones had...
Yes and yes 😁
Cool this makes them close to perfect! If the xm4 don’t deliver these will be my next buy
Hello Aaron, excellent video. Could you talk about Bluetooth latency on video? Thanks
The microphone with background noisy sound better in the Marshall🤗 I want them 🤣
NIce review. I would like to know in the next video if there is still there the anoying blutetooth connexion noise as the older Monitor. Thanks for your work.
Better tham xm3?

We need videos on the new monitor 3s
Can you compare this VS the MID?
If you already have the first monitor BT should you recommend an updgrade?

I also think the design of Mid ANC is cooler. I just hope Marshall will release soon a Mid ANC 2 version!
And the case of the Marshall Mid ANC looks more premium compared to the case of Marshall Monitor II ANC.
I'm waiting and hoping for a Marshall Mid Active Noise Cancelling II headphone with Aptx, app support and water resistance.
help me guys, i just bought this gem, and mine boots up with ANC turned ON every time, regardless in which state it was when i turned it off. is it a bug or feature? does yours behave the same?
You make really good videos. I think that you deserve more views that you get. I would love to help with your SEO and general tasks with your youtube channel. 😄
Exactly why you need to watch the video. The XM3 still wins in noise cancelling!
XM4's it is! :D

Good job. Like
Better or not better? 🙄
is this over ear or on ear?
somewhere it says one and somewhere it says other.
Marshall Monitor II ANC is over ear. The Marshall Mid ANC is the on ear model.
"smells fresh" SOLD!
Sony have a better ANC but his mics are very bad optimized :(
I’ve seen mics that you can plug on your 3.5 jack port
I love Marshall so much but my wallet said: get Sennheiser headphones and a Fender 40 watt digital guitar amp
Edit: that Sennheiser is the 4.40bt
The 4.40BT is no slouch
How does this Marshall fare against the Sony XM4? I can't seem to find any comparison on TH-cam, would really appreciate any input. Torn between XM4 and this one
hi there , the Marshall are better in quality sound , however regarding to Anc, Sony is better , and for call quality both are good .
@@evcanada1451 thanks bro. I tested both and felt like they're exactly the same, Marshall is just a tad bit clearer. I think I'll get the Sony xm4
@@naleenaar5442 interesting, so what attracted you the most in order to chose Sony over the Marshall?

I'm not sure whether to trust these, because the first Mashall Monitors sounded terrible.
Can you make a review/comparison video between Marshall monitor 2 vs Audio Technica ath-m50xbt. Thanks for a great vids.
Get master and dynamic with real leather headphones and steel
Sony's for the win! :)
@Ana Lias Not to me, but I didn't buy noise canceling headphones to talk anyway, so...
Except that ugly bad looking plastic on Sony's...
Except the cheat, plastic look and build quality, terrible bass bleeding. The Beats have better bass control.
Are you fr? The sony sounded worse
You have a gamingcheer but you dont do gamingheadset reviews
Nice
Sbc only isnt good enough, its a terrible sounding bluetooth codec. Even aac is much better.

I got scanned with Marshalls
Dont buy marshall headphones with those knobs. They stopped working on my monitor bt after a year. I used them as rugged as possible because of how it was made nicely but it failed to survive.
You will only know if the Marshall you got are fake or not once you have already paid and opened the box xD
