Marshall has long been the gold standard for blending rock ‘n’ roll heritage with modern audio engineering. Today, the company is shifting its focus to the active, mobile listener with the announcement of the Milton ANC, a new wireless on-ear headphone designed to deliver premium sound and noise cancellation without the bulk of traditional over-ear models. While the brand’s Major series has long been a staple of the on-ear category, the Milton ANC is a clear step toward more sophisticated, smart-feature-laden listening.
A Masterclass in Portable Audio
The Milton ANC was engineered with the “heaviness of life in constant motion” in mind. The design is purposefully durable and fully foldable, allowing it to be stowed away without losing its structural integrity. Marshall has retained its classic aesthetic—the square-shaped TPU moulded ear caps feature that signature textured leather surface, finished with the iconic brass metal logo and powder-coated metal arms. It is a premium look that stays true to the brand’s roots while catering to a contemporary, urban audience.
Beyond aesthetics, the comfort levels have been significantly upgraded. Compared to previous on-ear models, the Milton A.N.C. features larger ear cushions and softer memory foam, ensuring the headphones stay comfortable during extended listening sessions, whether you are on a long-haul flight or just navigating a multi-hour commute.
Smart Tech Meets Immersive Sound
The real story here is the intelligence packed into the device. The Milton A.N.C. features next-generation adaptive noise cancelling that analyses your surroundings in real-time to adjust the suppression levels. If you need to jump back into reality, a quick shift to Transparency mode lets the outside world in with a single press.
Marshall has also introduced a new, proprietary driver system. These 32mm drivers have been re-tuned specifically to extend both the bass and treble, providing a dynamic Hi-Res audio experience. For those who find standard stereo tracks a bit flat, the headphones include Soundstage spatial audio, a feature that can be activated via the companion app to add depth and width to any stereo recording.
A standout feature for long-term power users is Adaptive Loudness. This automated system subtly adjusts the audio tonality to your environment and volume level, ensuring that you hear every detail of your music without needing to constantly fiddle with the EQ. Additionally, the headphones are equipped with six optimally placed microphones, which not only handle the noise cancellation duties but also ensure high-quality voice pickup for calls and voice assistant interactions. The hardware is equally future-proofed, featuring Bluetooth 6.0 with LE-Audio, support for SBC, AAC, LC3, and LDAC codecs, and a design that is repairable with a replaceable battery.
Customisation at Your Fingertips
Marshall has added a highly customizable M-Button to the chassis, which gives you control over the experience without needing to reach for your phone. You can program this button to toggle your preferred ANC settings, switch on the Soundstage spatial audio, jump directly to a specific Spotify playlist, or trigger your voice assistant, making the device feel much more like an extension of your own personal workflow.
Pricing & Availability
The Marshall Milton ANC is available starting today in Malaysia. The headphones are priced at RM 1,049 and can be purchased through the official Marshall stores on Shopee and Lazada. They are also available at selected physical retailers, including Harvey Norman, Thunder Match, CG Computers, Urflash Gadgets, ALL IT Hypermarket, SNS Network, EWT Technology, PC Image, and Sprint Cass.
