Hi, did you face any problems with them? Im reading many reports about hissing sounds in one of the speakers and some noise canceling problems... I really like them but hesitant after reading that

I enjoy listening with these headphones. The comfort, build quality, and sound is good. Having the volume and the ability to skip tracks in one button makes them easy to use for me. One thing I also enjoy is the fact that they do not make creaking noises or make a bunch of noise when wearing. I have fallen asleep with them (I never sleep all night with them) and they don’t feel like they are about to crack or creaking interrupts the sound. If you are using for work or meetings I would try them with the V Moda boom pro mic that plugs in. It works well and has a silence button on it. Using the app to control the EQ profiles works extremely well for me. I tend to keep it on the jazz setting. the ANC adjustment that allows you to go up or down in 10% increments is a very nice touch. They fold very compact and I have no problem throwing them in any bag when on the move and not feeling like they will break or take up too much space by them being in a nice bag.

The best review video of Monitor 2 ANC, I have seen on KZread. Hands down Awesome content man, subscribed ! Btw could you please check that if audio can be shared via 3.5 mm audio jack to another headphones. Marshall Major 3 & 4 have this feature. Do you think absence of ACC and aptx codecs can be a trouble in listening music through iPhones and Android ?

Thanks for the props and your support - you can help it grow even more by telling your friends and family about me/GearUP 😁 Unfortunately, I don't have these any more, so can't speak to the 3.5mm sharing, but if Marshall tends to do that, it's quite likely that these will have the function too. Without those codecs, not a problem, unless you have high fidelity streaming services that leverages those codecs.

Hi Aaron thanks for the review, I’m interested in the Marshalls but I’m torn between these and the Sennheiser momentum 3, in the UK the Marshall monitor 2 cost £250 now but the Sennheiser still cost £349 which is still £100 more, are the Marshalls way off for sound and comfort compared to the Sennheiser?? This will be my 1st time purchasing anc headphones so I see it as an investment so I would like something a little future proof.

@gearupaaron

Hi @Nej89, I don't have any experience with the Momentum 3, but for £100 more, I don't see being exponentially THAT much better than the Marshall in terms of SQ and comfort. Do you plan to work out on these, by any chance? If so, then the Sennheisers would fit better. Hope this helps some.

Hi Aaron! If you see this I would greatly appreciate it! I'm going to be a returning college student. Last year I used the Jabra 85h and sadly I lost them a week before school ended.

Would you recommend the Jabra or the Marshels for my normal activities?

Hi, sooo I have a Big question. I'm about to buy my first high quality headphones, but I'm torn between the Sony WH1000XM4 and the Marshall Monitor 2 ANC. What Is your take on these two, which one Is better in sound? In my local store the Sony are in discount so it's a bit cheaper than the Marshall, but I do like more the Marshall's looks. Now the break point for me Is the sound quality, not so much the ANC, I have been told and found on internet that the sound quality Is better in the Sony's than the Marshall's, but how much?? Cause if it's just by a bit I think I'll go with the marshall because of the durability. (Also I do prefer a Neutral Sound or Soundstage). Thanks in advance for any advice!!

I think the headphone is just far to heavy to be comfortable while cycling. The looks and build quality however... Great!! Do you think the Sony-wh-1000xm3 will be the better choice here?

"Vegan-friendly leather" means plastic, which is horrible for animals and the environment. Those synthetic headphone pads eventually start flaking making tiny pieces of plastic material that quickly break down into micro-plastics. Leather may come from animals but it's bio degradable and causes less harm to the environment and animals in the long run.
