ON-EAR Headphones with Adaptive Noise Cancelling and 80-Hour Playtime
May 2026 – Today Marshall unveils Milton A.N.C., a new wireless on-ear headphone combining portability with long-lasting performance. Featuring 50+ hours of playtime with adaptive noise cancelling and 80 hours without, Milton A.N.C. is built to outlast the weekly commute and beyond.
Created with maximum portability in mind, the durable, foldable design holds its shape no matter where it’s packed. Its memory foam ear cushions are designed for comfort and extended listening sessions. The square-shaped TPU molded ear caps with a textured leather surface, brass metal logo, and powder-coated metal arms create a premium look and feel, all wrapped into a classic and unmistakable Marshall design.
Not just a design icon, Milton A.N.C. comes with smart features to take uninterrupted listening to a whole new level. Next-generation, adaptive ANC analyses the
surroundings and adjusts noise cancellation in real time. That means it’s easy to block out noisy environments and stay locked into a playlist, movie, or a call, without distraction. And when it’s important to let the outside back in, a simple shift to Transparency mode ensures immediate surroundings can be heard.
“If you compare Milton A.N.C. with our other on-ear headphones, like the beloved design of Major V, you’ll notice a few big differences. We’ve increased the ear cushion size to help keep the sound in and improve passive noise attenuation. Larger earpads and softer memory foam also mean the headphones are more comfortable to wear over longer periods. We’ve introduced an entirely new driver system tuned to improve bass and treble extension, delivering dynamic Hi-Res audio with rich details. On top of that, 6 microphones optimally placed for ANC and call complement the acoustic design for highly effective noise reduction,” says Nicolas Pignier Delafontaine, Senior Manager, Audio & Acoustic at Marshall Group
Adaptive Loudness is another automated feature included with Milton A.N.C. This subtly adjusts audio playback tonality to the listening volume and environment, so whatever the volume, sound quality remains rich and full, and every detail can be enjoyed without constant fine-tuning. In addition, these headphones are equipped with Soundstage spatial audio, Marshall’s in-house developed spatialization algorithm. The Soundstage feature can be activated in the app to add depth and width to any stereo track, putting the listener into the heart of the action.
Built with longevity in mind, Milton A.N.C. comes with the latest technology, including Bluetooth 6.0 with LE-Audio, compatible SBC, AAC, LC3, and LDAC codecs, and is repairable with a replaceable battery.
“With Milton A.N.C., we have created a premium, yet durable headphone that is easy to bring with you wherever life takes you. Our design and engineering teams have worked for years to bring the immersive feeling of Adaptive ANC into our beloved on-ear form factor, and we couldn’t be prouder of the results. Its portable design makes it a sleek contender to heavier over-ear alternatives, without compromising on features. The combination of adaptive ANC with 80 hours battery life is guaranteed to take on-the-go music listening sessions to the next level,” says Evelina Lindström, Product Manager at Marshall Group.
Milton A.N.C. is available to buy from Digital Walker and open_source stores, Marshall Shopee Mall, and LazMall Flagship stores priced at P12,990 starting May 27th.
