What buyers say
Great sound, solid build
The bass on these is exactly what I expected from Marshall. ANC works well on my daily train commute, though it's not eliminating every sound. Battery life is as advertised.
Love the design and tone
These look and feel premium. The case is compact and charges wirelessly which is super convenient. Sound is warm and punchy, perfect for rock and hip-hop.
Good but app needs work
Sound quality is great but the companion app disconnects randomly. Had to reset the buds twice. Hardware is solid though.
Reliable daily driver
Using these for work calls and music. ANC is decent, not amazing, but the multipoint feature switching between my laptop and phone works flawlessly.
