Marshall Monitor III review by Tom’s Guide
“The Monitor III's have more than double, double the battery life. It now gets up to 70 hours with ANC or 100 hours without, and that's up from 30 hours with ANC and 45 hours without on the Monitor Twos.”

“The Monitor II gave us about 30 hours with ANC and 45 without... but with Monitor III, it more than doubles that, giving us about 70 hours of ANC and 100 hours without”

“which means this is supposed to be a longer-term product and the battery life can hopefully be extended with all the preservation features”

Marshall Monitor III review by RJ Uploads
“they made ear pads for the Marshall Monitor Twos that actually had that that style just like these XB900s... But the difference is the clips on the back of the Marshall Monitor Twos are completely different from the Marshall Monitor Threes”

“The padded headband does not dig into your scalp after hours of wear and the memory foam ear cups form a soft seal around your ears without putting them in a chokehold.”

“Now going over the rest of the headphones, the included earcups are some of the plussiest, most soft earcups that I've ever felt and are really comfortable on your head”

Sound quality

Marshall Monitor III review by CEONTHEMAKING
“and for me the sound quality is excellent. It's very open even without that sound stage feature. There's great separation between the base, the mids, the highs, and even at max volume, there's no distortion.”

Marshall Monitor III review by CEONTHEMAKING
“this red velvet interior? Aside from just giving the headphones a soft protective place to live, this has to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing headphone cases I've ever seen. The red contrasting with the black and then the brass…”

“I would happily give these guys a 7.5. I I'm going to say eight, but I'm not I'm not I don't think they're at that eight at the eight level. But 7.5 works for me. Again, it's not knocking out some audio is making it a lot quieter.”

“when it comes to wind, these were very, very usable. There is no separate mode for wind noise reduction, but in both ANC and transparency, it could deal with moderate wind speeds.”
