Marshall Monitor II Complete Walkthrough: The Rockstars Do Noise Cancelling Headphones

I was sent the new Marshall Monitor II noise cancelling headphones and figured I'd try and do a complete walkthrough on them for you guys. We'll talk about all the specs, features and even do some testing of the ANC on a plane. Let me know what you think!

Thumbs up if you’ve watched every single noise cancelling headphone review and still haven’t made up your mind.

The microphone in the headset is such a good way to show noise canceling in video!

As someone who used the wired and the first bluetooth Monitors for a couple of years now, I am really looking forward to these! The sound and volume is amazing, better than Sony's (but this is subjective, everyone's ears and music preferences are different). The joystick control is actually genius, and going back to touch and gesture controls on my current headphones (Beyerdynamic Lagoon ANC) is annoying due to random and unintended touches when I'm just taking them off or putting them on or any sort of handling.

I would have loved to hear what the mic quality is like, both during calls and voice recording (in my experience the mic quality in calls is almost always worse for some reason).

Every other pair of bluetooth headphones I've tried in the past would always disconnect the bluetooth connection when you connect the headphones to a device using the audio cable. However, I discovered with the first bluetooth Monitors that if you have your headphones connected via bluetooth (to your phone for example) and then plug in a different audio source (say your computer) via the cable, then you'll actually be able to hear the audio coming out of both devices at the same time. Don't know if this was intended, or if it's an accidental possibility due to the feature that allows you to connect wired headphones to them so you can share your music, but I hope this feature/bug is still present in this model, as I made use of it plenty in the past.

I absolutly LOVE this Headphones, bought the Marshall Monitor v1 about two years ago and i loved the grounded more solid sound.
The only thing i didn't like about the old monitors were the fact that they were REALLY uncomfortable on my ears, i hope the 2th version is better in that regards.

You missed taking a phone call to see what the call quality is like. But great review

[thebartendingtrader]

I got these specifically for Metal music and I am blown away! They are awesome on all levels

[tizs.]

Thank you so much for this quick and concise review! Everything I could’ve possibly asked to know!

[rojitbarlagan]

Microphone in the headset was awesome!

[rakshitnasikkar]

This review is so perfect....short and to the point.

[Riich_Sat]

What do you think about them now in 2021?
I love design but still wondering if it's worth the cash

[stianjarnass]

Really great review and test🤗 Are they also comfortable to wear? I loved the on ear version. Except for beeing a bit hard on the ears and sliding away when sweating🤗

I has the original monitor bt headset for about 3 years. I loved them! They sounded great and the battery last long even after couple years! I also was not interested in the noise cancelling feature, which in my book does not even work, and pay 100€ more for it. Unfortunately my headphones died very suddenly. They just kept switching off. I turned them on and got a full 2 seconds of listening until they went out again. I could not find the new model of the monitor anywhere here. And to be honest I would have been a bit hesitant to buy them again since they lasted just 3 years. But anyway.. now I was forced to buy a NC headphones since it is the latest fad. yay. I paid double the price of the original monitors to get these B&W headphones. I am happy with them. They sound great. But I still don't care about the damn noise cancellation.

What do you think about those headphones and the Audio Technica M50xBT2??

[Chemy.]

Sorry I thought I already commenter in this one, as I thought I said:

Great ones, I'm not a fan of wearing this kind of headphones outside, but I kind of like the logo and looks of it, also you said it, are well featured and great quality, so it's true

Nice review as always my friend

[KRAFTiMAC]

Thanks for covering these. I would have really liked to learn your take on sound quality, and maybe how these compare to other similar headphones.

[AJ_Lucas]

I have the non-ANC version and I can tell you the quality is beautiful.

[THEJOHN]

I feel the joystick is a novel idea, how easy and reliable was it to use ??

[coffeebean]

the important thing is audio. the rest is secondary... So is the audio good or bad? No idea.

[gfrede]

Great video! How would you say they compare to the Audio Technica ANC900 BTs?

[cammackey]

Haha funny, was looking to buy these monitors after Kando and went to go look at reviews… and was like “wait I just met this guy”
