Marshall and Billie Joe Armstrong have joined forces to launch the new Monitor III A.N.C. wireless headphones. Designed for true music lovers, the spatial audio headphones feature an impressive 70 hours of active noise-cancelling playtime and 100 hours without, so you can listen for longer without interruptions. The Green Day frontman leads Marshall’s new campaign aimed at finding harmony in the chaos and celebrating music as a uniting force.

 

 

 

INTRODUCING MONITOR III A.N.C.

 

Injecting some desperately needed rock ‘n’ roll into the monotonous world of noise-cancelling headphones, Monitor III A.N.C. have been designed from the ground up to cater for true music lovers.

 

 

 

Drawing on 60+ years of head-turning sound, the headphones fully immerse listeners in thunderous bass and screaming highs, featuring enhanced noise-cancelling technology to block out the commotion you don’t want. With an incredible 70 hours of wireless ANC playtime and 100 hours without, plus Marshall’s new Soundstage spatial audio technology, private listening sessions feel like your favorite musician is in the room with you.

 

 

 

Whether mid-flight, commuting to work or making your way to a gig, a new Adaptive Loudness feature adjusts the sound based on your environment, without compromising on audio quality and enhancing every detail of your music, wherever you are.

 

 

 

Everyone’s listening habits are different, so Monitor III A.N.C. builds on the audio personalization options debuted on Major V, with a customizable M-button for effortlessly navigating EQ settings, Spotify and voice assistants. Meanwhile, the microphones have been designed to dramatically reduce wind noise so you can enjoy the ANC experience and crystal-clear call quality without being disturbed.

 

 

 

The Bluetooth LE Audio-ready headphones come equipped with Auracast™, a futureproof technology promising to open up a new world of audio-sharing possibilities alongside other Marshall speakers and headphones. Leading technologies are matched by iconic design, including a premium lightweight and foldable construction for true portability, plus a luxurious hard case with red velvet inside resembling a guitar case, in a nod to Marshall’s rich musical heritage.

 

 

 

“Monitor III A.N.C. focus on the essentials for good performance. We have reduced the weight, made the cushions soft as clouds and completely re-imagined the headband for long-lasting comfort,” says design director, Kenny Wong. “From an experience point of view, it stretches what is possible when it comes to the touch and feel of a Marshall product. They are extremely tactile with a self-healing leather texture and that unmistakable brass logo.”

 

 

 

We have completely revised the acoustic design to improve the performance on all fronts: sound, ANC, transparency and voice calls,” adds audio & acoustics engineer, Nicolas Pignier Delafontaine. “Monitor III delivers a sound that is wide, well-balanced, detailed and enjoyable. Soundstage spatial audio takes the music out of your head and onto a virtual stage around you, making you feel immersed and revealing subtle layers in your favorite records.”

 

 

 

Monitor III A.N.C. are available from September 24th at Marshall.com and select retailers priced at ₹29,999. Please see below for full specs and further information.

 

 

 

HARMONY IN THE CHAOS: BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG FRONTS NEW HEADBAND CAMPAIGN


gadget-innovations.com

 

 

Marshall’s latest headband campaign and the launch of Monitor III A.N.C. are being brought to life through legendary Green Day frontman and guitarist, Billie Joe Armstrong.

 

 

 

Billie’s history with Marshall includes using the JCM900 and Plexi 1959SLP amps. A specially modified version of the Plexi 1959SLP, now known as the "Dookie Mod", helped define the sound of the band’s seminal album, Dookie, which turns 30 this year.

 

 

 

As part of the campaign, Billie returned to his Green Day roots to film a stirring video for Monitor III A.N.C. where fans will discover memorable Easter eggs sprinkled throughout linked to his music career and the Marshall brand.

 

 

 

Marshall champions anyone embodying a rock ‘n’ roll attitude as a state of mind, plus coming from a punk background deeply rooted in community and social causes, Billie shares many of the brand’s core values. Like how a mosh pit can seem violent from the outside, but being part of it energizes you. But when you live and breathe the punk lifestyle, you need to find harmony in all the chaos, which is where the escapism offered by Monitor III A.N.C. comes in.



 

Billie is widely regarded as one of the greatest punk rock guitarists of all time and recorded his first song at the age of five. To date, he has released 14 studio albums with Green Day winning four Grammy Awards during an illustrious career spanning five decades. A constant in the world of music where he continues to connect with new generations of fans, the key to his staying power is his ability to inspire while always staying grounded. When touring stadiums, he’ll just as easily pop by a local pub to surprise fans during a Green Day covers night.

 

 

 

"If you know anything about me then you know that for me, the music never turns off," says Billie. "Whether it’s a stadium or a club, a pub or a subway, rock n roll is not just something I do, I live it... all the time. Marshall is and has been one of my loudest copilots along the way – from the stage and now, to the street. What better way to flip off the world than to put your headphones on so it's just you, and the music." 

 

 

 

Green Day are currently on a sold-out global stadium tour – The Saviors Tour – where they play iconic albums Dookie and American Idiot in their entirety, along with other Saviors cuts and fan favorites.
