Each part is measured the same way for every model (from specs and lab test measurements where they exist) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.

Pros

  • Balanced tuning with solid bass
  • Comfortable for everyday wear
  • Calls reliable in quiet places
  • Battery matched the claims in use
  • Transparency works well
  • Detailed, balanced sound with strong mids and highs
  • Wireless charging case

Cons

  • ANC leaves plenty of background noise
  • Touch controls too sensitive
  • Lacks deep bass thump and a wide stage
  • Slips during workouts; a few connection hiccups needed a reset
  • ANC only takes the edge off
  • Occasional dropouts and restarts
  • Hard plastic may bother sensitive ears
  • 91mobilesDec 2023

    A capable pair with strong sound, let down by ANC and touch controls next to rivals like the Sony XM5 (India review).

  • TechRadarNov 2023

    Stylish with crisp, detailed sound, but the ANC is weaker than AirPods Pro 2 (UK model; category scores 4/5).

  • Tom's GuideOct 2023

    Good sound and decent ANC, but bugs and discomfort hurt the value at this price (US model).

  • A solid step up from the first Motif that Marshall fans will like, in a crowded price bracket (UK model).
