I've been testing the new Marshall Milton ANC for 3 weeks — they fix my biggest gripe with on-ear headphones, and are the new gold standard

Marshall Milton ANC on-ear headphones.

The Marshall Milton ANC are the best on-ear headphones you can buy right now, period. The storied British brand bridges the gap between its flagship Monitor III over-ears and popular Major V on-ears by borrowing styling cues from both while adding a bunch of handy features to a supremely comfortable package. These are the ideal headphones for those who want premium features at a not-so-premium price.

Thanks to their 32mm drivers, the Milton ANC boast spacious, dynamic sound which is further bolstered by a highly effective spatial audio mode called Soundstage, which they borrow from the Monitor III. With 80 hours of battery life and effective ANC to boot, these headphones offer fantastic value for money. Throw the elegant design, straightforward controls, and a user-friendly app into the mix, and you’ve got yourself a winning combination.
