The verdict3.9/ 5.0

The Marshall Mode II earbuds deliver the brand's signature bold, bass-heavy sound in a compact, stylishly retro package. They're a solid pick for listeners who value distinctive design and punchy audio over cutting-edge features like ANC or marathon battery life. For casual daily use, workouts, and commuting, they hold their own, though tech-focused buyers may find better specs elsewhere at the same price.

What buyers say

JTJake ThorntonVerified buyer · 2024-02-14★★★★☆

Great sound, love the design

These earbuds sound fantastic for rock and hip-hop, real punchy bass. The Marshall branding and texture feel premium. Battery life could be better but overall happy with the purchase.

Solid daily driver

Using these for gym sessions and commutes. The IPX4 rating has saved them from sweat many times. Controls take a bit of getting used to but work well once you learn them.

MWMarcus WebbVerified buyer · 2023-12-19★★★★☆

Good but not great

Sound quality is excellent, no complaints there. My main gripe is battery life, I find myself charging more often than I'd like. Case is also a bit chunky to carry around.

ERElena RodriguezVerified buyer · 2023-11-05★★★★☆

Perfect for bass lovers

If you love a warm bassy sound signature, these are fantastic. The app EQ options let me tweak things exactly how I want. Comfortable fit even after hours of use.

TBTom BaxterVerified buyer · 2023-10-22★★★★☆

Stylish and reliable

Connection has been rock solid, no dropouts. The design gets compliments constantly. Wish they had ANC but for the price I think they're a good value.
