THE GEAR WE’RE LUSTING AFTER
Marshall Motif ANC II
>From £179.99 > From marshallheadphones.com
> Audio gear maker Marshall isn’t afraid to wear its rock heritage on its sleeve and with portable speakers like the spectacular Middleton, that’s very good news indeed.
Now it’s updated its Motif active-noise cancelling (ANC) earbuds with improved connectivity, thanks to Bluetooth LE. Plus, they now offer longer battery life, lasting for up to 30 hours with ANC on when used with the charging case – that’s 10 hours more than before – or up to six hours solo. They also deliver up to one hour of playback time on a 15-minute charge.
