The Marshall Milton A.N.C. is a new wireless on-ear headphone designed to combine portability, comfort, and long battery life. The device boasts adaptive noise cancelling, transparency mode, and up to 80 hours of wireless playtime, making it a great option for listeners who extended use without frequent charging.
Design and Comfort
The Marshall Milton A.N.C. has a durable, foldable structure that is meant to keep its shape while traveling or being packed away. It uses memory foam ear cushions for comfort during longer listening sessions, plus square-shaped TPU molded ear caps, a textured leather surface, brass metal logo, as well as powder-coated metal arms that give the product a premium appearance.
It also offers increased ear cushion size compared with its Major V on-ear headphones. This is intended to improve passive noise attenuation and make the headphones more comfortable over extended periods. Marshall describes the Milton A.N.C. as a portable alternative to heavier over-ear headphones without sacrificing key features.
Audio and Noise Control
Marshall’s next-generation adaptive ANC analyzes the surroundings and adjusts the noise cancelling in real time. This helps users block out noisy environments while staying focused on music, movies, or calls. When outside sounds need to come through, Transparency mode can be activated with a simple shift.
The headphone also includes Adaptive Loudness, which adjusts playback tonality based on listening volume and environment. This keeps sound rich and full even at lower volumes. In addition, the Soundstage spatial audio feature can be enabled through the app to add depth and width to stereo tracks.
The Marshall Milton A.N.C. uses a new driver system that’s tuned for improved bass and treble extension. The headphones also feature six microphones optimized for ANC and calls, supporting the acoustic design and helping deliver effective noise reduction.
Battery and Features
As for battery life, the Marshall Milton A.N.C. offers up to 80 hours of wireless playtime without ANC and more than 50 hours with ANC enabled. A full recharge takes 120 minutes. The headphones also support Bluetooth 6.0 with LE-Audio and work with SBC, AAC, LC3, and LDAC codecs.
A customizable M-button adds flexibility by letting users switch between ANC and Transparency mode, toggle Soundstage spatial audio, change EQ settings, open a Spotify playlist, or take a call with a voice assistant. Marshall says the headphone is repairable and includes a replaceable battery.
