Marshall Motif ANC

Stylish design ; Good sound ; Comfortable fit

Middling battery life ; Disappointing ANC

A stylish set of true wireless earbuds, the Marshall Motif ANC deliver strong audio performance. Although the active noise cancellation isn’t great, nor is battery life isn’t top of the class, these buds still sound and look very good.

Quality audio performance with deep bass and sculpted highs ; Cool, rock-inspired design ; Water-resistant build

Pricey ; In-app EQ isn’t customizable ; Underwhelming noise cancellation

The Marshall Motif A.N.C. earphones deliver a strong audio experience, but we expected better noise cancellation and more app features for the price.

Fantastic sound ; Stylish design ; Decent ANC

Battery life could be improved ; No manual equaliser ; Unreliable touch controls

The Marshall Motif ANC true wireless earbuds are everything you'd expect from such an iconic audio brand - they sound excellent, they look cool and the ANC works well. Admittedly the battery life could be better and there aren't loads of extra features...

Well made ; Great sound ; Comfortable

Some design quirks ; Ever-present Apple competition ; Noise cancellation is a battery thief

Solid sound ; Decent active noise-cancelling (ANC)

Not hugely comfortable ; Could look better ; Disapppointing battery life

Marshall's earbuds have some crucial flaws, in particular on the comfort side of things, that hold them back and make alternative choices a good chunk more attractive at this price.

Warm, engaging sound ; Adjustable ANC and ambient listening ; Sleek, minimalist design ; Bluetooth 5.2 and Google Fast Pair ; Compatible with Marshall app

Mediocre battery life ; Finicky touch controls ; Weak call quality

Great sound ; Decent ANC ; Fast Charging ; Super stylish ; Strong battery life

Pricey ; Limited equaliser customisation

While it's pricey, the Marshall Motifs offers incredible sound and envious style, along with a great battery and fast charging. It's money well spent.

Great sound with multiple EQ presets ; Effective active noise cancellation ; Highly configurable via the Marshall Bluetooth app

No user-defined EQ settings, only presets (a firmware update is promised) ; Only three sizes of eartips are provided ; A bit pricey

Well-balanced sound right out of the box ; Lightweight design is comfortable on the ears ; Companion app is very useful ; Wireless charging

Mediocre battery life ; Mids can sound distant ; Equalizer settings are preset
