Marshall Motif II ANC – True Wireless Earbuds, Active Noise Cancellation, Up to 30H with Case, Bluetooth 5.3 LE Audio-Ready, IPX5, Black

The Marshall Motif II ANC is Marshall’s noise-cancelling true wireless earbud, the second generation of Motif, sold in black. Marshall writes the name as Motif II A.N.C. The earbuds sit in the ear with silicone tips (three sizes in the box), cancel outside noise or switch to Transparency when you need to hear the room, and come in a compact case that charges wirelessly. Marshall rates them at up to 6 hours per charge with noise cancelling on and 30 hours with the case.

Noise cancelling and Transparency

The Marshall Motif II ANC uses active noise cancellation, with Marshall listing four microphones used to measure the noise around you. Combined with the seal from the silicone ear tips, this is the model for buses, flights and open offices. Transparency mode does the opposite and lets outside sound through, for announcements or a quick conversation without taking an earbud out.

Getting a good seal matters more than any setting: try the small, medium and large tips until the earbuds feel snug, because a loose fit lets noise in and thins the bass.

Sound: 6 mm drivers and the Marshall app

Each Marshall Motif II ANC earbud has a 6 mm dynamic driver with a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range, 108 dB sensitivity and 16 ohm impedance. Marshall describes the tuning as clear and balanced. The Marshall Bluetooth app adds a customisable EQ, lets you manage ANC and Transparency, and delivers over-the-air software updates; Marshall promises at least two years of software support.

Marshall does not list aptX or other advanced codecs on its specification sheet, so do not expect high-resolution wireless audio from an Android phone.

Battery and charging, with the conditions

Marshall quotes up to 6 hours of playback per charge with ANC on and up to 9 hours with it off. With the case, the totals rise to 30 hours with ANC and 43 hours without. Fifteen minutes of quick charging gives about 1 hour of playtime. Recharging takes about 1.5 hours for the earbuds and about 1.5 hours for the case.

The Marshall Motif II ANC case charges over USB-C (cable in the box) or on a wireless charging pad, so you can keep it topped up on the same pad as your phone.

Bluetooth 5.3, LE Audio and two devices

The Marshall Motif II ANC uses Bluetooth 5.3 LE with a range of about 10 m. Marshall calls them LE Audio-ready: the hardware supports the newer standard, but Marshall says it will be switched on through a future update, so it is not active out of the box. Dual Master connectivity keeps two devices connected at the same time, such as a phone and a laptop.

Touch controls and fit

Controls on the Marshall Motif II ANC are touch-based and mirrored, meaning both earbuds respond the same way. You can play and pause music, take calls, toggle ANC and Transparency, adjust volume and use Spotify Tap. Each earbud weighs 4.31 g, light enough for long commutes.

Durability and what comes in the box

The earbuds are rated IPX5, which covers sweat and water jets, while the case is IPX4 and only splash-resistant. Neither is dust-rated. In the box you get the earbuds, the charging case, a USB-C charging cable, the manual and ear tips in three sizes (S, M, L).

Who This Is Not For

Anyone who dislikes silicone tips in the ear, because the ANC depends on a sealed in-ear fit. People who prefer physical buttons, since the controls are touch only. Listeners chasing high-resolution Bluetooth codecs, which Marshall does not list. Swimmers and people training in dusty outdoor conditions, as the rating is IPX5 for water only. And anyone who needs LE Audio features today rather than after a future update.
