Description

Active noise cancellation is pretty much table stakes for over-ear headphones at this point, so choice in a modern set likely comes down to aesthetics. On this count, Marshall’s Monitor II makes a strong statement. A leather-like finish on the cups mirrors the outer padding of the company’s legendary guitar amps, while soft foam ear cups make for comfortable long listening sessions. The battery lasts for up to 30 hours of ANC playback per charge (45 without), and charges up over the included USB-C cable. Physical buttons on the exterior give access to voice assistants, ANC, and equalizer settings, and a companion app allows for even more fine-tuned control. An included canvas carrying bag accommodates the headphones (in folded formation) as well as the included 3.5mm adapter and charging cable.
