The Marshall Mode EQ is a simple wired in-ear headphone with one feature that sets it apart: an equaliser switch that lets you change the tuning without an app. One setting is warm and bass-heavy, the other, EQ II, is brighter with more emphasis on mids and highs. Inside each earpiece is a 9 mm dynamic driver, and the cable ends in a standard 3.5 mm plug with a microphone and remote for calls. The pair weighs about 20 g, comes in black, and needs no charging, pairing or batteries, which makes the Marshall Mode EQ a dependable backup for travel, the gym bag or the office drawer.

Two sound settings with a switch
Marshall describes the equaliser switch as a way to shift between sound settings according to your preference. In its own FAQ, Marshall explains that the first position gives a warm, bass-heavy sound, while EQ II sounds brighter with emphasis on the mids and highs. In practice, the bass setting suits hip-hop, electronic music and watching films on a noisy commute, and EQ II helps with podcasts, vocals, acoustic tracks and spoken audiobooks where clarity matters more than low-end punch. Because the change happens in the headphone itself, it works the same on any phone, laptop or player you plug into, with no app or settings menu involved.
Drivers and specifications
The Marshall Mode EQ uses a 9 mm dynamic driver in each earpiece with a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Marshall lists sensitivity at 100 dB SPL and impedance at 18 Ω. The low impedance means phones, tablets and laptops drive it easily without a separate headphone amplifier. Marshall does not publish the cable length on the product page. The earpieces are small and light, and the total weight is listed at 20 g, so they disappear in a pocket and are comfortable for long listening sessions.
Microphone and remote for calls
The microphone and remote sit on the cable, so you can take phone calls and control playback without reaching for the phone. This is useful while walking, driving with a hands-free setup that allows earphones, or on video calls from a laptop. Since the connection is analogue, there is no Bluetooth delay, which also makes the Marshall Mode EQ a good match for watching video or playing casual games where lip-sync matters. Remote button behaviour can vary between Android phones and iPhones, as it depends on how the device handles wired headset controls.
Fit and ear tips
Mode EQ is an in-ear design: the silicone sleeves seal inside the ear canal, which blocks a fair amount of outside noise passively, even though there is no active noise cancelling. A good seal is also what brings out the bass, so trying each size matters. Marshall lists S, M and L sleeves in the box. Getting the right fit takes a minute when you first open the box; once sealed, the earphones stay put during walking and light movement.
Connecting to modern phones
The Marshall Mode EQ ends in a 3.5 mm plug. Many current phones, including recent iPhones and most flagship Android models, no longer have a headphone jack. For those you need a USB-C or Lightning to 3.5 mm adapter, which is not included. Laptops, tablets with a jack, gaming controllers with a headphone port, in-flight systems and many budget phones work directly. That makes the Marshall Mode EQ especially handy as a travel spare that never runs out of battery.
Who This Is Not For
The Marshall Mode EQ is not for anyone who wants wireless freedom or active noise cancelling: it is a wired headphone with passive isolation only. It has no water resistance rating, so it is not designed for heavy sweat or rain. Phones without a 3.5 mm jack need an adapter that is not in the box. Marshall offers it only in black, and the cable can tangle in a pocket if it is not wrapped. Those who prefer earphones that rest outside the ear canal may find in-ear sleeves uncomfortable.
