I'm gonna start off this video by saying that yes I do have a bias towards over your headphones which makes it all that more surprising to me and how much I actually like the new Marshall made ANC on your headphones now these aren't for me and they definitely have their quirks but these are still a pair of very solid headphones and now I really want to see an on-ear version of these headphones for Marshall no Marshall did not send these headphones out for review and the new Marshall made a and C on your headphones are currently the most expensive headphones in Marshalls line up retelling for $269 if you want to pick these headphones up I'll have links in description below and if you use the links it really helps out the channel I feel that paying two hundred seventy dollars for a pair of on IRRI ANC headphones is a lot given that for the same amount of money you can get to Sony here on to or for just two hundred dollars you can get the Sony CH 700 N or the Audio Technica quiet points which are all over ear ANC headphones but the Marshall mid ANC justified that two hundred seventy dollar price tag with their overall to build quality and included accessories the minion C come included with a very good-looking carrying case which is made of the same textured leather found on the headband on these headphones now this carrying case is nice but I found that it can get a little cramped if you try to stuff the charging and audio cables with the headphones inside the case but without a doubt this is one of the best looking carrying cases that come included with a pair of headphones in this price range they included charging cable and audio cable are also weighing nicer than what most other ANC headphones come included with unfortunately the minion C are still using a micro USB port for charging and I strongly feel Marshall should have used a USB C port instead but above the micro USB port there's an easy-to-reach 3.5 mm audio jack for while listening and if you wanted to you can also daisy chain another pair of headphones to the mid ANC so you can both hear what's playing when listening to music wirelessly the overall build quality of the Marshall made ANC is just top-notch you've got very textured leather on the headband in ear cups there's soft microfiber cloth underneath the headband the frame is a black anodized metal and roll the headphones weigh in at just 208 grams and when the headphones collapse with storage they take up very little space but personally I don't think the men ANC are great for commuting because when they're placed inside their carrying case they do take up a good amount of room but Marshalls choice in materials and design make the male ANC a pair of very good-looking and well-built headphones I actually think these are overall way better than the Bang & Olufsen h8i on your headphones which retail for $400 but when it comes to comfort I just can't wear these headphones for long periods of time because they constantly press against my ears but the clamping force on these headphones isn't too bad they do have a snug fit so they do stay in place very well and they're very low-profile design might make them better suited for women with smaller heads the ear cups pivot a lot and sense the flexible headband give the ear cups a good amount of swivel these headphones have no problem conforming to most head types regarding tech specs Marshall advertises a battery life of 20 hours with ANC and Bluetooth turned on and in my testing with ANC and Bluetooth turned on and with the volume set at 50 percent the million see average 16 hours of playback time and with ANC turned off the mini NC managed to hit 25 hours playback time so better life on these headphones isn't amazing compared to other headphones in this price segment but for their small size it's still passable but unfortunately these headphones have no form of quick charging when it comes to wireless connectivity these headphones have about a forty four range and I never really suffered from any connection issues even with a wall or two between the headphones and my phone but the mid ANC have a lot of latency so I would not recommend these headphones if you watch a lot of videos on your phone like I do and these headphones can only be connected to one device at a time so that's something to take into consideration if you're a power user but I do have to give credit where credit is due the active noise cancellation on the mid ANC performed much better than I expected it to given that they are on your headphones they offer a lot of passive noise isolation with ANC turned off but when the active noise cancellation is turned on they do an effective job of blocking a lot of noise pollution in the lower end mid frequency range and the ANC all these headphones have very little cabin pressure which most people should be able to get used to after a while and there's also no hissing when the ANC is turned on but you're not playing music in the background when it comes to sound quality the midian see have for the most part on neutral sound signature with just the right amount of based in trouble these headphones have very good clarity the basin never bottoms out and there's no tinting in the highs but I can't help but want a wider soundstage on these headphones for the most part I haven't had to adjust the EQ on the medallion see since I got them but it would have been nice to have an ad where I could easily play around the EQ these headphones do get unnecessarily loud but I feel these are best for easy listening cuz the bass on these headphones isn't going to rattle your head like other headphones out there but what's really amazing is the amount of sound leakage these headphones have there's barely any which I feel is a testament for how well these headphones are actually built now let's talk about how you go about controlling your music playback on the MIDI and see I don't hate the nub but I also don't love it first it's on the left ear cup and personally I would have preferred if it was on the right ear cup if you press the knob once it'll play or pause your music push up to raise the volume push down to lower the volume push right to skip a track and push left to go back a track and if you double press you'll activate your voice assistant and the knob has very good tactile feedback any time you press or push it in any direction and it's also very easy to find but when you first use the controls there is a bit of a learning curve and even after I've gotten used to using the knob I still find myself using the wrong inputs to control my music sometimes I'll accidentally skip a track right I need to raise the volume or instead of skipping the track I'll restart the same track a few times before I realize I'm pushing the knob in the wrong direction I feel the knob would be much easier to use if it only moved up or down - it's just a volume double press to skip a track triple press to go back a track and press and roll to activate your voice assistant ok and here is the microphone test now there is a lot of amplification and my voice might sound a little raspy now and then but overall I think the microphone on these headphones is good enough if you're going to be taking a lot of phone calls but this audio clip has been recorded by the microphone on the Marshall made agency on ear headphones so you can so like I said at the beginning of this video the Marshall met ANC aren't for me because they're on your headphones but I can't deny they are still very good for what they are and I think the premium accessories build quality and materials used on these headphones justify the $270 price tag they sound pretty good and the ANC actually does a very good job of blocking out a fair amount of ambient sound I think these are a great option for a woman looking for headphones but don't want something as big as the bose qc25 series 2 or sony 1000 XM 2 if you're considering getting the be solo 3 just get these instead but now I want to see Marshall put out on monitor and see over your headphone if you made it this far I guess you enjoyed the video so hit that
