Marshall has unveiled its new Milton A.N.C. wireless over-ear-headphones, boasting adaptive noise cancelling and long battery life to “outlast the weekly commute and beyond”.

Chief among the headphones’ specs is “next-generation” adaptive noise cancelling, which analyses your surroundings in real time and adjusts noise cancelling to correspond with your environment. For added control, there’s also the option to switch to Transparency mode, which turns off the ANC and lets the noise of your surroundings be heard.

The headphones also feature Adaptive Loudness, automating playback loudness and tonality to suit the listening environment, as well as Marshall’s in-house-designed Soundstage spatial audio algorithm.

Meanwhile, the cans feature the unmistakable Marshall design with the brass metal Marshall logo on each side, plus memory foam ear cushions for comfort during extended listening sessions, a textured leather surface, and powder-coated metal arms.

They also sport Bluetooth 6.0 technology, compatible SBC, AAC, LC3 and LDAC codecs, and 50+ hours of battery life with ANC enabled, 80 hours without. They’re also repairable with a replaceable battery.

“If you compare Milton A.N.C. with our other on-ear headphones, like the beloved design of Major V, you’ll notice a few big differences,” says Nicolas Pignier Delafontaine, Senior Manager, Audio & Acoustic at Marshall Group. 

“We’ve increased the ear cushion size to help keep the sound in and improve passive noise attenuation. Larger earpads and softer memory foam also mean the headphones are more comfortable to wear over longer periods. 

“We’ve introduced an entirely new driver system tuned to improve bass and treble extension, delivering dynamic Hi-Res audio with rich details. On top of that, 6 microphones optimally placed for ANC and call complement the acoustic design for highly effective noise reduction.”

“With Milton A.N.C. we have created a premium, yet durable headphone that is easy to bring with you wherever life takes you,” adds Evelina Lindström, Product Manager at Marshall Group. 

“Our design and engineering teams have worked for years to bring the immersive feeling of Adaptive ANC into our beloved on-ear form factor, and we couldn’t be more proud of the results. Its portable design makes it a sleek contender to heavier over-ear alternatives, without compromising on features. The combination of adaptive ANC with 80 hours battery life is guaranteed to take on the go music listening sessions to the next level.” 

The Milton A.N.C. headphones are available now, priced at £179.99 / $229.99 / €199. For more info, head to Marshall.
