The Marshall Motif II A.N.C. is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 5,500, available at our Old Mutual Building store, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. These true wireless earbuds pack a 6mm dynamic driver into each bud, active noise cancellation drawing on four microphones, and Bluetooth 5.3 with LE Audio support. Battery life reaches 6 hours per bud with noise cancelling on and 30 hours total once you count the charging case. The Marshall Motif II A.N.C. reaches our store as a clean used import, never deployed locally in Kenya, with the original hardware fully intact.
Built for music lovers who want their earbuds to look as bold as they sound, the Marshall Motif II A.N.C. suits daily commuters, university students, gym-goers, and office workers across Nairobi. Anyone tired of bland white earbuds that vanish into the crowd will notice the alligator-textured case and brass-tipped stems straight away. The four-microphone noise cancelling quietens the roar of a full matatu or the din of Tom Mboya Street, so podcasts and playlists stay clear. For calls between meetings or lectures, the Marshall Motif II A.N.C. handles voice pickup without you shouting over background noise.
Where most earbuds at this price cut corners on build and battery, the Marshall Motif II A.N.C. carries a recognisable Marshall look plus wireless charging and a 30-hour case reserve. Buyers across Nairobi tell us the styling starts conversations while the fit stays put through a run or a boda commute. Buying the Marshall Motif II A.N.C. from Mascom International means you handle the earbuds in person at Kimathi Street before paying, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.
Common Questions About the Marshall Motif II A.N.C.
Are these Marshall Motif II A.N.C. earbuds genuine and in good working order?
Yes. The Marshall Motif II A.N.C. sold at Mascom International is an authentic Marshall product, brought in as a lightly used international import and never deployed locally in Kenya before reaching our Kimathi Street store. The hardware is original throughout, with no parts swapped or reconditioned, which is why we describe it as used rather than refurbished. Each pair is tested for pairing, sound output, noise cancelling, and charging before it goes on sale. You can walk into our Nairobi CBD store and test a unit yourself before committing to the KSh 5,500 price.
How long does the Marshall Motif II A.N.C. battery last on a full charge?
The Marshall Motif II A.N.C. runs 6 hours per bud with active noise cancelling switched on, stretching to 9 hours when you turn cancelling off. The charging case holds enough for 30 hours total with cancelling on, or 43 hours without. That covers a full week of a Nairobi commute for most people between top-ups. A 15-minute charge adds about an hour of playtime when you are rushing out, and a complete recharge of both buds and case takes roughly 90 minutes each.
Does the Marshall Motif II A.N.C. block out matatu and street noise well?
The active noise cancelling on the Marshall Motif II A.N.C. uses four microphones that measure surrounding sound and reduce it in real time. On a packed matatu or a busy stretch of Moi Avenue, it dampens engine drone and crowd chatter enough to keep music and calls clear, though loud sudden sounds like a hooting lorry may still slip through. Transparency mode does the opposite, letting outside sound in when you need to hear a conductor call your stop or chat with a colleague without removing the buds.
How do I control the Marshall Motif II A.N.C. without my phone?
Touch controls sit on both earbuds of the Marshall Motif II A.N.C. Taps and long-presses handle play and pause, skipping tracks, answering and ending calls, switching between noise cancelling and Transparency mode, adjusting volume, toggling EQ settings, and launching Spotify TAP for instant playback. The Marshall Bluetooth app on Android or iPhone adds a five-band equaliser, preset sound profiles, and firmware updates. A wear sensor inside each bud pauses your audio when you remove one and resumes when you put it back.
Will the Marshall Motif II A.N.C. survive rain and workouts in Kenya?
The Marshall Motif II A.N.C. earbuds carry an IPX5 water-resistance rating, which shields them from sweat and a sudden Nairobi downpour, while the charging case is rated IPX4 for light splashes. Neither should be submerged in water. Users report the earbuds stay firmly seated during runs and rough boda rides thanks to the oblong shape and three eartip sizes. At roughly 4.3 grams per bud, they sit light enough for long listening sessions on a Westlands-to-CBD workday.
What phones and codecs does the Marshall Motif II A.N.C. work with?
The Marshall Motif II A.N.C. connects over Bluetooth 5.3 with LE Audio readiness and works with any Android phone, iPhone, tablet, or laptop that supports standard Bluetooth. Audio codecs cover SBC and AAC, which suit iPhone users fully and handle everyday streaming on Android over Safaricom or Airtel data. Multipoint pairing links two devices at once, so you can stay connected to a work laptop and a Safaricom personal line together. The buds remember the last eight paired devices and reconnect automatically to the two most recent.
Is the used Marshall Motif II A.N.C. worth KSh 5,500 in Kenya's market?
For KSh 5,500 the Marshall Motif II A.N.C. gives you active noise cancelling, wireless charging, a 30-hour case, and a name that launched well above this price when new. Compared with new no-name earbuds around the same money, you gain four-microphone cancelling, an app-based equaliser, and the recognisable Marshall build. As a clean used import backed by a Mascom International warranty, it sits well below the original retail figure while keeping the same hardware. That gap is what makes it a practical pick for students and commuters watching their budget.
What is the difference between used and refurbished at Mascom International?
Used means the Marshall Motif II A.N.C. was owned and lightly handled abroad, then imported in clean condition with its original hardware untouched. Nothing has been opened, repaired, or rebuilt. Refurbished, by contrast, would mean parts were replaced or the unit was reconditioned, which is not the case here. We label these earbuds used precisely because they keep their factory internals. Every pair still passes our pairing, audio, cancelling, and charging checks before sale, and carries a 6-month Mascom International warranty for your peace of mind.

What's in the Box
The used Marshall Motif II A.N.C. comes with the pair of true wireless earbuds, the matching charging case, a USB-C charging cable, and three sizes of silicone eartips (small, medium, and large) with the medium tips fitted by default. The user manual with legal and safety information is included. As with all Marshall earbuds, no power adapter ships in the box, so any standard USB-C charger or Qi pad handles top-ups.
