Marshall has launch a subsequence to the Motif ANC on-key wireless in the just named Motif II A.N.C.
Theoriginal Motif ANCwas one we liked enough to award it four stars , but answer to say that reviews across the add-in were midway of the route . But rather than view that as damaging , we ’d opt to spin it into a positive – there ’s room for the Motif II ANC to ameliorate on what came before .
So , if you ’re thinking of upgrading from the original , or simply interested in what this Marshall straight wireless has to bid , understand on to see what ’s raw , dissimilar , and the same with the Marshall Motif II ANC .
There’s (almost) no change in price
The original Motif ANC was price at £ 179 / $ 199 / 199 / 1599 CNY / 2195 SEK and the Motif II ANC is virtually the same in each territory , write for Sweden where the price has gone up 100 Krona to 2295 SEK .
Considering how often audio brands use a sequel to put up the cost up , it ’s refreshing that Marshall has maintain the same toll across the board . But does the raw reliable wireless declare oneself more value than before ?
The Motif II ANC battery gets a boost
The Motif on-key wireless packed 20 hours all in all and offered 4.5 hour of playback from each full charge .
The Motif II ANC expands battery electrical capacity to 6 hours per complaint , and 30 hours in amount , which our maths tells us is 10 extra hour . There’swireless chargingsupport too , so you could sit them on a Qi charging matte if you already have one .
The design has been subtly tweaked
The form of the new wireless earbuds is the same as its Motif ANC predecessor , but there have been a few subtle change to give it a little more flash .
At the bottom of the stem is a gold finish that replicates the amber styling on many of Marshall ’s wireless talker and headphones . The radical also has a different , grippy grain , for when you come out the earbuds in the spike or take them out . Both the lawsuit and the buds are made from 70 % post - consumer recycle charge card .
The Bluetooth performance has been further enhanced
Its harbinger corroborate Bluetooth 5.2 , the Motif II ANC adds to that with support forBluetooth LE ( Low Energy)audio to “ ensure the best potential connection ” while keep up battery life . Marshall claims Bluetooth LE increases the streaming range , delivers high quality audio , and improves audio synchronization with telecasting substance .
The drive unit is the same size as before
While we ca n’t notice yet on whether the latest true wireless sounds any different from the original , we do know the size of it of the driving is the same , with the Motif II ANC boasting a dynamic 6 mm whole .
The tuning could be different , but machine driver impedance and frequency range hits the same spec as before so we ’re assume that the Motif II is a continuation of the sound from the previous bud . We described the master as skylark a crispy signified of item and strong basso , so we are currently expecting more of the same .
