I have been in touch with Marshall's sound since 2018, and I know what Marshall's sound warmth is. When I put this headset on, I no longer want to pause that feeling of comfort and peace.Good and clear sound, on both lossless and regular "high" quality of Spotify, the sound seems to envelop you. The noise reduction system works softly, gently, like a mother protecting her child from the dangers of the outside world.Of course, if I would want to compare them with other products, like Sony wh-1000xm4/5, or Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4, here is what I noticed:1. ANC of Marshall is different comparing to Sony, you still hear sounds from outside your headset. However, the sound system of Marshall compensates that with boosting relevant spectre of sound to minimise outer influence on your joy. I don't feel sick when I wear Marshall, and I don't have a feeling of being absolutely insolated. Transparency mode is good enough. Since this head set is "over-the-ear", less sound comes inside them, so transparency mode is a must-have not to miss announcements in trains or signals of cars.2. Build quality - nothing else you can find on the market for the same price. Unlike Sony or Sennheiser, which look very much alike. Metal, artificial leather, cables - everything is created for everyday use. My previous Marshall Major III are still alive after 6 years of constant (careful though) use. I replaced ear pads and headband and they not only work like right out of the box but also look absolutely new. By the way, Marshall now sells the replacements parts on their web-site. What makes a huge difference with all previous models of Marshall, is that in this version you don't need to unsolder wires to replace the headband, just unscrew a couple of screws! And there is an additional layer between your hair and the headband.3. Music. If you love it - you know why you love it. It's not about bumping bass to the possible levels, it's not only clear treble, it's a combination of the mentioned characteristics and also atmosphere and naturality. This all I found in Marshall's Monitor III. Softness, mildness, attack is quick enough, loudness is sufficient to even feel the movements of the musicians. Finally, I can listen to any type of music - be it rock, ambient or techno. Of course, Sony transmits its music via LDAC codec, which could be considered a bit better than LC3, AAC or SBC in Marshall. To feel the difference you need to put both of them and exchange a couple of times. Sennheiser’s sound is better for me, and still I need to put my Marshall on and off a couple of times to feel that difference.4. 70 hours of listening without any need to charge. 15 minutes to charge for another 12 hours. Is this not what most of us were dreaming of?5. Case. It's hard! Monitor II used to have it made of fabric, but for this model it's hard enough to make it really hard to break them when packed inside.I’m so much excited to use this headset, if you are still in doubts, - try it in shops and decide.What I also find important is to mention cons (subjective):1. I liked the multidirectional joystick on left part, I got used to it, now it’s a bit uncomfortable to hold phone/player in right hand and adjust volume or skip songs with the same hand.2. A.N.C. works differently comparing to Sony which I used to have. I haven’t yet tested my new headset in an airplane, but think Sony’s adaptive A.N.C. blocks the noise better.3. My wear style is casual, before you buy for yourself please check if the headset will fit your look (suite or whatever).So far 5 out of 5 for this model.

Estoy gratamente sorprendido, muchas cualidades: son exageradamente cómodos, las almohadillas son superiores suaves, la diadema es casi imperceptible, pueden usarse por horas sin la menor incomodidad. Su uso en climas cálidos no sería recomendable por la generación de calor y sudor. La aplicación es muy versátil, la firma de sonido Marshall es ya deporsí muy agradable pero puedes modificar la firma a tu gusto o utilizar las ecualizaciones que la aplicación ya trae preestablecidas. Excelente calidad de construcción, tanto en los audífonos como en el estuche. Recomiendo ámpliamente el producto y al vendedor Amazon Europa. El envío llegó 7 días antes de la fecha prevista. Sin duda ha sido una de mis mejores compras en cuanto audífonos se refiere. El único punto un poco malo es la cancelación de ruido, no es tan mala pero hay mejores, lo anterior no implica que por este aspecto no lo recomiendo, ante tantos puntos favorables esto para mi pasa inadvertido.
