There are many things to call headphones. The Ultra. The Plus. The Max. Maybe just a series of numbers and a couple of letters, like a \u201c1000XM\u201d<\/a> or something to that effect.<\/p>\n

But \u201cMilton\u201d isn\u2019t what we ever expected. The name Milton doesn\u2019t exactly scream \u201cheadphones\u201d, and yet with Marshall\u2019s latest push to get on your ears, rather than simply make loud noises from massive amps and speaker boxes, that\u2019s exactly what it plans to do: get Milton talking on your head.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Granted, it\u2019s not the Milton famed for his red stapler in the cult classic that is Office Space, but rather a Milton made for your head, as Marshall offers up a pair of noise cancelling headphones literally called the \u201cMilton\u201d. <\/p>\n

Yep, it\u2019s a first for this reviewer, too.<\/p>\n

The new headphones feature the same look Marshall\u2019s amps offer, including the textured leather look and brass logo, albeit in a portable design, using what the company has delivered in previous headphone efforts, and now with noise cancellation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fresh from the news of a Hendrix anniversary speaker combo, Marshall\u2019s <\/a>Milton headphones will use adaptive ANC tech to do their thing, an approach we\u2019re seeing more of lately, adjusting the technology in real time, and doing the same with volume and a feature called \u201cAdaptive Loudness\u201d. Think of this as a way of shifting the volume to match surroundings, a feature that works alongside an element of spatial audio using algorithms developed in house.<\/p>\n

For the spatial side of things, Marshall says its Milton headphones can see the \u201cSoundstage\u201d spatial audio technology add more depth to stereo tracks, but hasn\u2019t noted if real Spatial Audio will be supported. <\/p>\n

If it\u2019s anything like other headphones, a real spatial soundtrack may work on supported platforms on Android, but is less likely to on iOS, with spatial audio typically only being compatible with Apple and Beats headphones on Apple Music on iPhone and iPad.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Even if you don\u2019t use the spatial, the battery life aims to impress, with a little over 50 hours when noise cancellation is used, and over 80 hour when ANC is switched off. Granted, it\u2019s difficult to go back to a life without active noise cancellation, so we doubt the 80 hours will be tapped, but over 50 hours is still good, rivalling the likes of Sennheiser\u2019s Momentum 4 headphones<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Australian can expect to find them online and in stores this week, priced from $329.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There are many things to call headphones. The Ultra. The Plus.
