$230 Marshall Milton ANC won ZDNET's Editors' Choice, with the review calling them the best on-ear headphones available now for comfort, sound, features and price.
10 days of testing found light, comfortable earcups, warm detailed audio, and ANC that handles street noise and low-frequency hum better than expected for an on-ear design.
50 hours of playback with ANC on and 80 hours with it off helped the headphones stand out, alongside user-replaceable batteries and ear pads aimed at longer product life.
Bluetooth 6.0, LDAC, multipoint, Apple Find My and Google Find Hub support add to the appeal, though the review flagged missing wear detection and wired mode that still requires power.
