Marshall - Motif II A.N.C.

I was surprised that the Marshall Motif II anc didn’t make any list. I love mine. The audio quality and call quality are quite good. And the ANC is OK but could be better. I struggle with the AirPod Pro 2 fit, I think they feel comfortable but too loose. The fitment of the Motif II is more snug and definitely won’t go anywhere.

The Marshall Motif II ANC. Funny enough, I love their motif. They have a great design and build quality. And the overall sound performance is a highlight. Clear highs. Well-balanced mids. And punchy bass. The only issue I have is the ANC isn't great.

Been fortunate enough to test and own over a dozen, might be 2 dozen+ now. And the best is not one brand or model. Everyone's ears and music tastes are too varied. Plus some will never pay for better brands that cost over $50, $100, $399+. Even if they could afford it. Many JBL buds are cheap enough for anyone and get the job done. Sony XM4/5 buds do well for many, but the memory foam tips bother some. Luckily tips are easily swapped. Good App too. Pixels Buds Pro 2 are very good if you live in the brand. When Riding my loud Zero Turn Commercial Mower. I always grab my Marshall Motif II earbuds. Not sure exactly why, but they drown out the mower best with only half volume, and don't require blasting music. No matter which you choose, buy what you like or can afford. I could give reasons to spend more $$$. But, all you should shoot for is: ANC and try to get close to 8 hours or more from the buds themselves (not total time with case). Over time the batteries will weaken.

Best I’ve used so far are Marshall motif 2 earbuds, 10x better than my AirPod pro2’s

Using linkbud s the ambient noise function is good. And they weren’t nearly as pricey as other headphones with the function. That said battery life doesn’t seem great. In contrast Marshall motif 2 which I used before have good sound and great battery life. They miss the ambient function. The fact they came unglued and fell apart also doesn’t help their case. Good headphone but wish it didn’t fall apart right after 2 year warranty expired

Commenting because I want to know the answers. I had galaxy buds2 pro that would hurt after a while, but they started glitching after a few years of intensive usage, so after months of doubt I ordered Marshall Motif II ANC. They arrived today, but I had to return those beauties mostly because they were to broad for my ears and the bud hurt from the first minute. Sidenote: I also wasn't satisfied by their sound and ANC at the given pricepoint RIP.

I can't fit those rubber in ear things into my ear. That's why I like apple air pods or now as a less expensive option the Marshall ones.
