Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Marshall Monitor 3 are a very nice pair of noise cancelling headphones. They fit comfortably on my head. I do have to say that you can tell feel them on your head. Not a bad thing but they are not like other headphones where the goal is for you to not be able to tell you are wearing headphones. I really enjoy the compact nature when not using them. They fold up to just the earpiece size. The case they come with is also high quality and should help maintain the materials These headphones are made of. I enjoy the material. The noise cancelling feature works. I have no complaints about it. I have not taken these on an airplane so I can't tell you how well they do in that environment. Going back to how small the case and headphones are when stored. They can easily fit in any bag, purse, backpack. They do not take up a lot of room if traveling with over the ear headphones is something you do often. The sound quality is good. Bass is solid. Soundstage is clear. They did a good job. I would recommend these headphones to others. I would say these headphones sound well for what they are. After wearing them for an hour or so I was still ok with having them on. Look great, sound great, are comfortable.

The Marshall Monitor III ANC headphone really live up to the iconic brand’s look and, most importantly, reputation for quality. Even starting out with the custom clam shell case that the headphones come in, it’s very “rock & roll”. With the nostalgic look and feel of the Marshall amps and a plush, red velvet interior to hold the headphones and cables. The headphones themselves also have that textured look and feel of the amps and one of the huge positive of this design is that it’s not going to show scratches the way something just plastic would. Speaking of cables, one nick against the Marshall Monitor III headphones is that it does NOT come with a 3.5mm audio jack for pass through listening on a plane, or anywhere else listening through a jack is necessary or preferred. While it does come with a decent length USB-C to 3.5mm cable, in order to use it, the headphones must be powered on, whereas on other higher end headphones I own, the jack does indeed exist on the headphones and work without being powered on. Other than the lack of the 3.5mm jack though, I love everything about the Marshalls; the comfort is better than every other headphones I have ever owned; the pillows on your ears are super soft yet still give a really good seal. The length of the headband is just right. The overall lightness of the headphones really adds to the comfort over a long session of wearing. The battery life on the Marshall Monitor III’s is simply insane; 70 to 100 hours depending on your use of noise canceling is advertised, and I believe it. How often are you going to even be in a situation where you can’t recharge over the course of 3 to 4 days? I used these for a full week at work on and off and they were still going strong. I charged them up Friday night and then used them all weekend, where they really shined. This is where I need to talk about what I consider it’s best and most important feature, the Automatic Noise Canceling. I recently took the headphones to Buffalo Wild Wings where I watch my favorite team, the Minnesota Vikings. Our local BWW has 40+ televisions with every NFL game and any other sports event all playing simultaneously, however they only have the audio for the Tennessee Titans as I live in Jackson, Tennessee. I put on the Marshall headphones, listen to the Vikings broadcast on IHeartRadio with the noise canceling enabled, and even at just 1/3rd volume, the game broadcast was crystal clear and the background noise was all but a dull, muffled murmur. I could not be more impressed. The main control for the headphones is a gold joystick on the right ear; up and down for volume, left and right for skipping forward and back through songs. In phone mode, push in on the button once to answer a call, or twice to reject it. You also have an ANC button which you can use to turn ANC on, off, or passthrough of ambient sound. Finally, there’s a “Marshall” M button which you can customize through the app for accessing Spotify, or your voice assistant, or the equalizer settings, or turn “Soundstage” mode on and off. Soundstage is an interesting feature where you adjust the room size from small to extra large, and the amount of the effect from 0 to 100 percent in 10 percent increments. The feature seems to adjust reverb and bass to where, yes, you actually feel like the music is being played in a different sized area; I personally find the Large size room set to 50% to be most pleasing to my ears, but it’s worth experimenting with. These are premium priced headphones, but you truly do get what you pay for here. If you do find that you need to use the USB-C to 3.5mm jack, just make sure they are charged up and it won’t be a problem. For all other uses though, these are absolutely outstanding headphones, whether you’re listening to talk radio, music, or talking on the phone using the integrated microphone. The Marshall Monitor III’s check all the boxes for me; superior noise canceling, Amazing, customizable sound, and stupendous comfort even when wearing for hours. I therefore give these an enthusiastic 5 star rating, and would recommend them to anyone who takes their music seriously.
