I have come to enjoy and trust Marshall consumer products. I grew up knowing that Marshall made great amps and speakers. I have two Bluetooth speakers from this company and absolutely love them. Out of the packaging, I noticed the same rubberized style covering as the latest speaker I have which is a nice touch for the brand. This does serve a purpose as it makes the charging case very secure in the hand for opening, closing, removing and replacing the buds. The case also supports wireless charging, for me a dream come true!! You can also pair two devices to them which is handy if you want to work and play with the same ear pieces
Pairing and setting up is quite straightforward. The accompanying app is actually quite useful to access all the features and to fine tune the various questers you will use to control the buds and your phone. There are some cool features such as Ear Detect. This is a sensor inside each earbud detecting when they are inside the ear. This means they will automatically pause and restart as you use them.
The equalizer feature allows you to customize the sound for any kind of music. I listen to a broad range of sound, from phone calls, video and music. It is nice to be able to make specific adjustments or choose one of the preset options.
The noise canceling is really good. In fact I need to use my over the ear headphones that cost over twice as much as these to get better noise canceling effect. The icing on the cake is that you can adjust the noise canceling to that you can be aware of your surroundings like when you are in the gym or biking etc...
Using them for calls is also very good. Crisp clean audio for both me and whoever I am speaking with.
Ultimately the sound is the most important thing here and these are truly amazing. Rich deep bass, clear mid and high range make the listening experience a joy!

This is my second Marshall Bluetooth equipment. This helped me as I am familiar with their app and set up process. Just like the first time, the Bluetooth on my phone did not find the earbuds. I closed the app and settings and reopened them and boom, they were visible. Pairing was straight forward and simple. The ear pieces on the buds fit perfectly and are quite comfortable. The case came fully charged and I have to say, the leather coating around the case is just like their speakers and is a very nice touch. However, the charging cable is a measly 4 inches long, but I suspect that Marshall expects you to utilize your phone cable or the wireless charging feature on these. Using the earphones is quite simple, select your music, select your favorite EQ setting in the app, and rock and roll! Literally! Using the mid reduction EQ setting, these sound very full and amazing. They get quite loud and the ANC works decently. I could still here my dog barking at me as I tinkered around the room Speaking of that, range is not that good. Maybe 20-25 ft and if you get a wall in between, then they drop out pretty quickly. So, using these on a plane or somewhere close to your listening device will be no problem. But walking around your house without your phone, expect it to drop out pretty quickly. Calls come through nice and clear and there were zero issues on either end! Very nice ear buds, they just became my go to set and I have a nice trip coming up that these will be handling the music/movie duties!

I have used Marshall earbuds over other brands for a few years now and have always been impressed and happy with their performance, and sound. Adding in active noise cancelling and a better fit, and I'm very happy! The problem with my old set of Marshall earbuds was the slipped out of my ears so often because they didn't have the soft tip to really "stick" in my ear. So it would often fall out, even while working at a desk.
With these earbuds, the active noise cancellation has worked flawlessly. I've enjoyed wearing them while at the office, while cooking, and working out and don't have any complaints! They come with a few sizes of tips to ensure a tight fit and I haven't experienced them falling out yet. One of my favorite parts of these earbuds is that I can turn off the "touch" feature on the earbuds in the app. On my old Marshall earbuds, I couldn't turn them off. So any time I would need to push them back in my ear to make sure they didn't fall out, it would pause my audio, or even hang up if I was on a call. The app has more features to really customize these earbuds for the user. I'm an iPhone user and just got the new iPhone 15, but I use these earbuds over airpods everyday.

First of all, these are just cool. As a musician, I am familiar with the brand. I love the look of the case and the earbuds. They look extremely well made and like they will last for a long time. Typically I cannot wear earbuds like these because they fall out of my ears, but for some reason, these stay in and are actually comfortable. I enjoy the little guitar sounds it makes when the earbuds on turned on and off. They are also really sensitive to touch commands. The noise cancelling feature is great when I use these at work...almost too great. I get a little carried away with these and go off into my own little world. I kind of forget that my office door is open and people are trying to talk to me. Haha. Anyway these truly are a great buy. I use them for video calls with my coworkers and they said the call sounded crisp and clear. The only negative thing I can say about these was that I had trouble connecting them to my computer at first. Connecting to my phone was super easy, and actually, the Marshall app just popped right up as soon as I turned on bluetooth. Finding and connecting them to my computer, however, was not as easy but I figured it out.

I was very excited to see these with they arrived - I have a pair of Marshall over the ear headphones and they are great. So I expected some of that to carry over to the earbuds and quite simple that didn't happen.
Let's start with the thing that I like -
1. The comfort level - they fit in the ear and are very comfortable to wear for several hours at a time - you actually forget that you have then in
2. Battery life - the battery life seem to be as advertised which is pretty good - I did not drain them however based on % they should last to that
3. App control - the app control is very good and allows for some customization
Now the Bad
1. The sound quality - while the highs and mids are good and clean, the significant lack of bass, even in the bass boost mode it striking. I tried all of the preset eq modes and even custom adjustment all with the same result - there's just little to no bass. i know that good bass in an earbud is somewhat of a unicorn but this is much less that some of the other in this price range or less
2. Noise reduction - The only thing I can say about the noise reduction is that it sounds better than the other modes from a tonal standpoint. As far as actual noise reduction it very poor, I had a opportunity to try this in an airport and in flight and compare it with a couple of the other the fruit products that I have with anc it is a marked difference from one to the other.
So to conclude - would I recommend these earbuds - I would have to say pass, if they were half the cost might be worth it but at this price point there are much better options available
