Marshall MOTIF II A.N.C.


We just noticed that Digital Walker has already listed the new Marshall MOTIF II A.N.C TWS buds on its website. This simply means that it is now available in the Philippines. Marshall says the MOTIF II A.N.C. offers a huge sound in a tiny package. It also has improved audio quality, connectivity, and ANC with improved wind noise performance versus its predecessor.

The buds still arrived in Marshall's signature black look. But now, it is made with 70 percent post-consumer recycled plastic, including used electronics, water bottles, and automotive light covers—a part of its sustainability effort. For sound, the device offers the company's "signature sound" with "clear" and "balanced" sound with "no" distortion even if you crank the volume high. Marshall is promising that it brings "concert quality sound" despite using a small 6mm dynamic driver.

To further improve its audio, it uses Bluetooth 5.3 LE audio for better streaming range and improved audio sync while delivering "high-quality audio". The codecs it supports are SBC, AAC, and LC3. LC3 is the "most compact" audio codec, which can deliver better sound than the default SBC codec. Of course, the device has ANC (active noise cancellation) to block unwanted outside noise as well as transparency mode to let you hear outside noise while listening to your favorite tunes.

According to Marshall, each bud can last up to 9 hours without ANC or 6 hours with ANC. The charging case has a total of up to 43 hours without ANC and 30 hours with ANC. 15 minutes of charge is equal to 1 hour of playtime. Both the case and the buds need 1.5 hours to fully charge. It also has wireless charging support.
