Marshall’s new ANC earphones are straight-up designed for absolute audiophiles

The renowned amp and audio gear-making company unveiled two new TWS models – the Marshall Minor III and Marshall Motif A.N.C. sporting a uniquely recognizable aesthetic that all audiophiles will absolutely love!

Both models (shown below) come in the unmistakable black finish, and come in a faux-leather finish case that’s complete with Marshall’s branding. The cases (which really looks like a mini amplifier at this point) open up to reveal the earphones inside, which are branded with the Marshall monogram too. Another pretty neat design detail is the diamond knurled patterns on the stems of both the earphones, reminiscent of the texture seen on high-end audio cables and jacks. The Minor III earbuds even come with a gold-tipped base, tying in with the gold-plating found on premium audio jacks.

Both earphones offer a commendable 20-25 hours of playback (along with the charging case), and sport intuitive touch controls.

The Minor III is Marshall’s most entry-level TWS earphone, at just $129. It features an AirPod-inspired open-fit design, is intuitive to use, and is easy to set up.

The Motif A.N.C. on the other hand is Marshall’s flagship TWS offering. Priced at $199, it features a sealed-fit design (thanks to silicone ear-tips) and sports active noise cancellation (which can be toggled using the button on the charging case). Being the higher-end of the two earphones, the Motif A.N.C. even comes with support for Marshall’s own Bluetooth-enabled smartphone app, which lets you access a bunch of other features, including a customizable EQ.

The Minor III will be available for $129 starting today (September 15th), while the Motif A.N.C. will be available for pre-orders at $199, with shipping starting September 30th.
