Noise Cancellation Button

Monitor II A.N.C. uses active noise cancellation technology that constantly captures and measures ambient sound to control how much of the outside world you hear.

There are two noise cancellation modes:

Active Noise Cancellation – Block out sound and focus on what is playing.
Monitoring Mode – Let in the outside world to talk to someone or listen to an announcement.

Use the noise cancelling button to quickly switch between modes.

A short press switches between Active Noise Cancellation and Monitoring Mode.
Press and hold for 2 seconds to turn noise cancellation on or off.

The different noise cancellation levels can be adjusted in the Marshall Bluetooth app.

M-Button

The M-button can be set to switch between three different EQ presets, or your phone's voice assistant or Google Assistant.

Go to the Marshall Bluetooth app and configure the M-button from its menu.

Note! Voice assistant may not be available in your country and requires a separate account/agreement between you and a third-party service.

3.5 mm Input

Use the included 3.5 mm cable to use the Monitor II A.N.C. with a desktop device. Bluetooth for audio streaming will disconnect when the cable is plugged in. You can still use active noise cancellation as long as your headphones are powered on.

When the 3.5 mm cable is unplugged, the headphones will attempt to reconnect to the last connected Bluetooth device.
