Marshall is turning up the volume once again, this time teaming up with Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong to launch the new Monitor III A.N.C. wireless headphones. Designed for music lovers who want more than just a listening device, the Monitor III A.N.C. brings immersive audio and a hefty dose of rock ‘n’ roll energy.
The standout feature? A massive 70 hours of active noise-cancelling playtime and 100 hours without it. Whether you’re mid-commute, on a long flight, or simply escaping the world, these headphones have you covered. With Marshall’s Soundstage spatial audio, it’s like having your favourite band playing right in front of you, no matter where you are.
One of the standout features is the inclusion of Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast™ technology, making the Monitor III A.N.C. future-proof. On the design front, Marshall’s signature style is all there — lightweight, foldable, and portable, complete with a luxurious hard case lined with red velvet, resembling a guitar case. It’s a subtle nod to the brand’s rich musical heritage.
Marshall’s design director, Kenny Wong, highlights their focus on comfort: “We have reduced the weight, made the cushions soft as clouds and completely re-imagined the headband for long-lasting comfort.” That means these headphones are built not just for sound but for extended wear, without sacrificing style or substance.
Billie Joe Armstrong, who has used Marshall amps throughout his career, sees the Monitor III A.N.C. as an extension of his lifelong relationship with the brand. “Whether it’s a stadium or a club, a pub or a subway, rock ’n’ roll is not just something I do, I live it… all the time. Marshall is and has been one of my loudest copilots along the way.”
The headphones also feature an Adaptive Loudness function that adjusts to your environment, enhancing every detail of your music without compromising quality. And if you’re one to personalise your experience, the customisable M-button offers easy access to EQ settings and voice assistants.
Marshall’s audio & acoustics engineer, Nicolas Pignier Delafontaine, explains the technical upgrades: “We have completely revised the acoustic design to improve the performance on all fronts: sound, ANC, transparency and voice calls. Monitor III delivers a sound that is wide, well-balanced, detailed and enjoyable.”
With the combination of rock heritage, modern technology, and thoughtful design, the Monitor III A.N.C. brings Marshall’s classic sound into a new era.
Priced at £299, they’re now available at Marshall.com and select retailers.
