Want to be disappointed? By it! You will get excellent sound quality, great comfort, 11-12h play time and.... very unstable connection with the phone when it's in your jeans pocket. I made test with iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8 Plus, Huawei P20 Pro, Blackberry Passport and get identical result! I did not expect such from the great Marshall!!! This is my last purchase of this brand.

I compared these Marshal Minor II bluetooth headphones to the Apple airpods, jaybird x2 and x3 headphones that I also own.

SOUND QUALITY: 5/5 stars. The Marshal Minor headphones are surprisingly great and sound better than the Jaybirds and Airpods. The sound is full and well balanced with crisp highs with great clarity and rich but tight bass. These sound as good as my Bose Quiet Comfort over the ear headphones and are fantastic from all types of music I tried from Bach to Gun and Roses to Ice Cube and Jimi Hendrix. The Airpods come in second with the Jaybirds in 3rd place. Marshall wins!

SETUP TIME: Less than 5 minutes to open the box and pair the headphones with my iPhone and start using it. It plays a little guitar riff to let you know it is on and paired. Very easy. Tie with Jaybird and Airpods.

FIT AND COMFORT: 5/5 stars. Very comfortable and super adjustable with soft rubber that doesn't make your ear sore or tired. These are way easier to wear and adjust than the Jaybirds which had 3 earpieces and don't always fit. The Airpods are one size fit all. Marshall wins!

BATTERY LIFE: 5/5 stars. You get 15 hours of music. There is a quick charge so you get 2 hours of battery life from 20 minutes of charging and it takes 2 hours to get a full charge. The Airpods have 5 hours of listening time per charge but have the case that charges you for up to 24 hours. There is a provided micro USB cable that plugs into the volume switch. The cable is very nice quality and is 38 inches long. Jaybird X2 had 8 hours of battery. Marshall wins!

EXTRAS: The Marshall Minor II has a unique toggle switch to control play/pause, fast forward and reverse, on/off, and volume, and Siri. Very nice and works well. Marshall wins on this one.

OVERALL: 5/5 stars. The Marshal Minor II headphones are the clear winner on sound quality, comfort and battery life. The Airpods have the advantage of being apple products and have a case that doubles as a charger but I would pick the Marshal Minor II headphones every time.
Let me know if this review was HELPFUL.

I don't know about other reviews. I've had over 4 pairs of Bose, including noise cancelling, 5 pairs of different noise cancelling earbuds and different hi-fidelity headphones, even ones with vacuum tube powered headphones and studio headphones. I had such high hopes for this pair of Marshall's before I got them but after testing them, they are staying in my drawer for good. First, they are the most uncomfortable earbud headphones I have ever had. It actually hurts when I wear them. The main unit of the earbud is so large and so square, I don't know if those designers at Marshall know what the word "ergonomic" means. The pull cable just above the earbud that supposedly help to snuggly fit the earpiece in the ear can't even fit in my ear. The earbud boosts the low end like their amps and speakers to the point, everything I listen becomes heavy metal. The bass is actually lousy, very lousy. I have a pair of Beat Solo, the bass is good, but when you switch bluetooth to this pair, the bass is almost nonexistent. The high end is also not accurate. I listen to Beethoven and Mozart and the sound is nothing but mediocre at best. You can't hear any music reproduction that impresses you. The earbud design is poor. The part that supposedly seals the earbud doesn't seal to ear tunnels. The protruding part that sticks into your ear, is too short it doesn't cover your ear and it's not soft silicon gel. The design of the cable that sticks out on top actually creates a gap between the earbud and your ear, it actually seems like the designer never intended to create a seal for the earbud and the ear. This is one major reason the bass is terrible for this earbud headphone.
Now onto the pairing. The bluetooth pairing is a pain. You don't know how many seconds you need to press the button to enable the blue lighted pairing mode. You either turn it on or turn it off but don't know when it goes into pairing mode. And what's worse. If you don't want to use the earbud to talk while on the phone, and you accidentally snaps the left and right earbud together (there's a magnet on each side so it snaps together when you have it looped over your neck), when the magnets snaps, so does your phone ends. It automatically terminates your phone call because it assumes you are wearing it around your neck and your phone should terminate. But even when your active phone conversation didn't choose this earbud, it ends your call regardless. I accidentally ended two calls when it got too uncomfortable using them to talk, I chose speaker phone but accidentally snapped the L/R earbuds and the call just ends. So annoying and such a poor design. (I think because they power down the headset to save power when the magnets are attached, thus causing the transmission to terminate.)
The other reviews mentioned about the manual that's included. Why? Only the first page is English. The rest is a thick book of United Nations 139 languages.
Anyway, I am truly disappointed. Minor II.

Here's a bit of add-on review:
I am comparing earbud version bluetooth headset in 3 different brands: AKG vs. Marshall, vs. Bose.
I've had the Bose the longest. I have over 4 pairs of Bose 2 of which are noise cancelling and 2 are regular earbuds. I am not comparing noise cancelling versions here, even though I have 4 different brands in noise cancelling headphones.
The Bose has a good solid rich sound, and rich bass. The sound quality is good, where the high spectrum sounds are not super sharp to the point of hurting your ear.
The AKG is just a bit different in how it's tuned compared to Bose. The high pitch sounds are obvious stronger. There's more high end sound clarity, but less bass. The mid is clear but accurate and not boosted.
The Marshall, is tuned, it seems, for the heavy metal sounds. It seems to boost the electric guitar sounds. The high end sound is a mess, just all truncated together and makes the listening experience very annoying. And when using for phone calls, the Marshall mic picks up all ambient noise and makes talking on the phone very difficult. The Bose out of all three has the best talking on cell phone experience. The low end bass on the AKG is a bit better than the Marshall I think because of the earbud design, it has 4 sets of silicon earbud seals interchangeable to suit your ear size. The Marshall is a one size fits call and it's a pain for me to wear and it event has a gap which looses all of the bass punch. Again, the Bose clearly has the lower spectrum sounds boosted and not accurate. The sound quality for my personal taste, Bose is the best because I like bass, but for sound accuracy, AKG takes the crown. For good effort, Marshall. Also, on the bluetooth connectivity, the AKG sucks. It requires you to disconnect from one device before you can connect with a second device. So if the headset is connected to iPhone, when you get to office, you want to connect to MacBook, it requires you actively disconnect the iPhone and actively set the bluetooth to connect. It's very troublesome. The Marshall is easier in this regard. Bose is too.
All in all, the AKG earbud is also a bit unconformtable because it's big and not too ergonomic. Bose is the most comfortable to wear. Marshall is the worst.
All in all, we need to measure user experience in terms of comfort, sound quality, price and easy of operation.
Bose, the most expensive of all, is still the best of all, in my opinion. AKG with a similar price point and sound quality is a worthy adversary to Bose. Marshall, you need to hire industrial engineers to improve on ergonomics, it hurt my ears to wear your earbuds.
