Marshall Motif A.N.C. Overview

The Marshall Motif A.N.C. is the second true wireless earphone from Marshall, featuring a refined design with an oval base and a slim, knurled stem at the bottom. The earpieces are designed for a secure in-ear fit, contrasting with the open-fit design of its predecessor, the Minor III. With an IPX5 rating, the earpieces are resistant to sweat and splashes, while the charging case boasts an IPX4 rating for water protection. Despite their robust build, each earbud is lightweight, weighing just 4.25 grams (0.15 oz). The charging case mirrors the leather finish of the Minor III, but with a longer horizontal design and a side-mounted button, available exclusively in Black.

On the audio front, the Marshall Motif A.N.C. is equipped with 6mm drivers that deliver Marshall’s signature sound, providing a rich and immersive listening experience. The earbuds support both SBC and AAC codecs, ensuring compatibility and high-quality audio on Android and iOS devices alike. As the name suggests, the standout feature of the Motif A.N.C. is its active noise cancellation (ANC), which effectively blocks out ambient noise. Additionally, the transparency mode allows users to amplify surrounding sounds when needed.

When it comes to battery life, the Marshall Motif A.N.C. offers up to 6 hours of playback on a single charge, which reduces to 4.5 hours with ANC constantly enabled. The charging case extends the total battery life to 26 hours, or 20 hours with ANC. Both the earbuds and the case take about 3 hours to fully charge, and the case also supports wireless charging, adding convenience to the overall experience.
