Motif II ANC

The Motif II A.N.C. is a true wireless in-ear model with 6 mm dynamic drivers and a 20–20,000 Hz frequency range. Active noise cancelling uses four microphones to measure surrounding noise and adjust the cancelling level automatically, and a transparency mode lets outside sound in for conversations or walking near traffic. Ear detection pauses and restarts playback as the earbuds are removed and inserted.

Playtime is 6 hours per charge in the earbuds with A.N.C. (9 hours without), and up to 30 hours in total with the case and A.N.C. (43 hours without). A 15-minute quick charge gives 1 hour of playback. The case charges wirelessly or over USB-C, and LED lights show the case battery level. A battery preservation function in the app lets the user set a temperature limit, a maximum charge limit and charging speed.

The earbuds connect over Bluetooth 5.3 LE, are ready for Bluetooth LE Audio, and can connect to two devices at once. Touch controls handle music, calls, A.N.C., transparency mode, volume and Spotify TAP. The Marshall Bluetooth app adds ANC control, personal EQ and over-the-air updates, though the earbuds also work without it.
