Summary
$230 Milton marks Marshall’s first premium on-ear model with active noise cancellation, adding a user-replaceable battery and removable ear pads to extend product life.
32mm drivers, Auracast, Spotify Tap, Apple Find My, Google Find Hub and a feature-rich companion app position the headset as a new middle tier between Marshall’s Major and Monitor lines.
50-plus hours of battery life with ANC on—and up to 80 hours without it—stood up in more than a week of daily use, according to the review.
ANC cuts street noise effectively for an on-ear design, though the review said it lacks the fuller sense of isolation typical of larger over-ear headphones.
Premium on-ear ANC options remain scarce, leaving Milton to compete mainly with products like Beats Solo 4 and JBL Live 680NC while defining a niche category.
