Marshall has entered the on‑ear ANC market with the Milton A.N.C. headphones, a design that mimics the brand’s classic guitar‑amp silhouette. Priced at $229, they sit at the low end of active‑noise‑cancelling offerings while preserving the company’s rock‑n‑roll aesthetic. The on‑ear form factor appeals to commuters who dislike bulky over‑ear decks, and the amp‑inspired grille gives the set a punch.

Beyond looks, the Milton packs 32mm dynamic drivers tuned for LDAC‑compatible high‑resolution streams, delivering a balanced soundstage for rock and pop alike. Battery life reaches 50 hours with ANC engaged and 60 hours without, and the cell is user‑replaceable—a rarity in modern wireless headphones. A transparency mode lets users hear ambient traffic without removing the cups.

The Milton is the first Marshall headset to support Find My on both iOS and Android, reducing the risk of misplacement for travelers. It also offers a spatial‑audio mode that widens the stereo field, while the ANC algorithm adapts to city noise, making it a practical companion for daily commutes.

At $229, the Milton A.N.C. lands as the most affordable active‑noise‑cancelling on‑ear option from Marshall, blending the brand’s heritage styling with respectable audio performance and long‑lasting power. For shoppers seeking a distinctive look without paying flagship prices, the headset delivers exactly what its price promises.
