Marshall, an iconic name in the music industry recognized for its guitar amplifiers and audio products, has announced the launch of its latest addition to the true wireless earbuds market - the Motif II ANC.
This release marks the continuation of Marshall's collaboration with Zounds Industries, following the merger that formed the Marshall Group. The new earbuds are a successor to the original Motif ANC, showcasing improvements in battery life, noise cancellation technology, and design aesthetics.
The most striking improvement is in the battery life department. With the Motif II ANC, users can expect a substantial upgrade from the previous iteration. The earbuds themselves can churn out up to six hours of playback on a single charge, even when the active noise cancellation (ANC) feature is enabled. This is a notable step up from the previous generation's 4.5-hour playback.
However, the real leap comes with the accompanying charging case, which propels the total playtime to an impressive 30 hours with ANC activated and a remarkable 43 hours without. Furthermore, Marshall introduces fast-charging capabilities, allowing users to obtain a full hour of playback from just a 15-minute charge.
The earbuds incorporate advanced noise-cancellation technology, aimed at creating an immersive listening experience even in noisy environments. This iteration features improved ANC performance, facilitated by an additional microphone that contributes to a more effective reduction of ambient sounds. Users can revel in their favorite music or podcasts without the disruption of external distractions like bustling streets or public transportation noise.
A noteworthy feature of the Motif II ANC is its integration of Bluetooth LE Audio, ensuring seamless connectivity and audio streaming. With Bluetooth 5.3 and support for Bluetooth LE Audio, the earbuds aim to enhance both audio quality and synchronization, catering to users who demand flawless audio experiences, whether they are gaming or enjoying multimedia content.
In alignment with the growing environmental consciousness, Marshall takes a step towards sustainability by crafting the Motif II ANC earbuds and charging case from 70% post-consumer recycled plastic. This eco-friendly initiative encompasses recycled materials such as used electronics, water bottles, and automotive light covers.
As the Motif II ANC emerges into the audio landscape, it promises a balanced sonic profile that captures the essence of Marshall's renowned sound signature. The 6mm dynamic drivers deliver audio within the 20Hz - 20kHz frequency range, encompassing deep bass and rich tones, synonymous with the Marshall brand.
Pre-orders for the Motif II ANC are currently open on Marshall's website, with shipping scheduled to commence on September 12th. The earbuds are priced at $199, offering consumers a blend of improved features and the distinctive Marshall audio experience.
