Marshall Motif II ANC | Active Noise Cancelling | 30 Hours Playtime With Case | Bluetooth 5.3 | IPX5 Water Resistant Earbuds
Calmer open-plan offices, crowded buses and busy Nairobi streets.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Marshall Motif II ANC wireless earbuds, with active noise cancelling and about 30 hours of playtime including the case, are available at Mascom International for KSh 21,000, brand new and sealed. They use Bluetooth 5.3, carry an IPX5 rating on the earbuds, and charge in their case over USB-C or on a wireless charging pad. Every Marshall Motif II ANC we stock is on the shelf at our shop in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, where you can fit the ear tips and pair a unit with your own phone before you pay.
Built for executives, journalists, estate agents and university students who work in noisy places, the Marshall Motif II ANC uses four microphones to reduce outside sound and a Transparency mode to let it back in when you need to hear. A matatu ride along Thika Road, an open-plan office in Upper Hill and a study session at the University of Nairobi all get easier with the noise turned down. Each earbud weighs 4.31 grams, and three sizes of ear tip come in the box, so you can find a seal that suits your ears. The Marshall Motif II ANC also pairs with two devices at once.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell earbuds with a receipt and little else, Mascom International backs the Marshall Motif II ANC with a service desk on Kimathi Street and specifications published plainly. Customers across Nairobi tell us noise cancelling is the feature they refuse to give up once they have tried it on a commute. At KSh 21,000 it sits above the Marshall Minor IV and the Marshall Major V, and it is the only one of the three with noise cancelling.

Common Questions About the Marshall Motif II ANC
How much is the Marshall Motif II ANC in Kenya?
The Marshall Motif II ANC costs KSh 21,000 in Kenya, brand new, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. The price includes the earbuds, the charging case, a USB-C cable, three sizes of ear tips and the 12-month warranty covered below, with pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. A wall adapter is not in the box. The Marshall Motif II ANC costs KSh 4,500 more than the Marshall Minor IV earbuds and KSh 5,500 more than the Marshall Major V headphones.
How long does the Marshall Motif II ANC battery last?
Marshall rates the Motif II ANC at 6 hours of playback per charge with cancelling on and 9 hours with it off. With the charging case, the total reaches 30 hours with cancelling and 43 hours without. The earbuds and the case each take about 1.5 hours to recharge, and a 15-minute quick charge gives 1 hour of playback. The case also supports wireless charging on a compatible pad, which helps when a socket is busy.
Is the Marshall Motif II ANC better than the Marshall Minor IV?
It is better if you want noise cancelling. The Marshall Motif II ANC at KSh 21,000 adds active noise cancelling, a Transparency mode, an IPX5 rating on the earbuds and a lighter 4.31 grams per earbud. The Marshall Minor IV at KSh 16,500 has no cancelling, a longer 7 hours of playback per charge and IPX4 splash resistance. Pick the Motif for noisy commutes and offices. Pick the Minor IV if you want to spend KSh 4,500 less and do not need cancelling.
Is the Marshall Motif II ANC good for noisy matatus, offices and rain in Kenya?
Yes, for noise and light rain. The four microphones help reduce engine rumble and crowd noise on matatus, and Transparency mode lets you hear a conductor or an announcement without removing an earbud. The earbuds are rated IPX5, which means they resist jets of water, so sweat and rain are covered. The case is rated IPX4, so keep it dry. Bluetooth works with any phone on Safaricom, Airtel Kenya or Telkom, and the 30-hour total helps through a KPLC outage.
Who should buy the Marshall Motif II ANC, and who should skip it?
Buy the Marshall Motif II ANC at KSh 21,000 if you commute daily, work in an open-plan office or study in a noisy hostel and want cancelling that you can switch off. Skip it if you want the longest battery, because the Marshall Major V headphones run about 100 hours at KSh 15,500. Skip it too if budget comes first, since the Marshall Minor IV costs KSh 16,500 and covers music and calls without cancelling.
Does the Marshall Motif II ANC have a Transparency mode and an app?
Yes. The Marshall Motif II ANC has both active noise cancelling and a Transparency mode, which uses the microphones to pass outside sound through so you can hear traffic, announcements and colleagues. You switch between them with the touch controls or the optional Marshall Bluetooth app. The app adds noise cancelling and Transparency control, equaliser settings and over-the-air updates, which means the earbuds receive improvements by Bluetooth. The earbuds work without the app, so you can start listening straight away.
Can the Marshall Motif II ANC connect to two devices at once?
Yes. The Marshall Motif II ANC connects to two devices at once, so a laptop and a phone can stay paired together. It uses Bluetooth 5.3 and is ready for LE Audio, a newer Bluetooth standard that uses less power. The earbuds have a microphone for calls, plus a touch shortcut for Spotify Tap, which opens your music with a touch. Marshall does not list voice command support, so you operate the earbuds by touch and through your phone.
Is the Marshall Motif II ANC worth buying in Kenya at KSh 21,000?
It is worth it if noise is part of your daily routine. For KSh 21,000 you get active noise cancelling, Transparency mode, 30 hours of playtime with the case, wireless charging and an IPX5 rating on the earbuds. Buyers throughout Kenya who ride matatus or work in busy offices tell us cancelling changes how long they can listen without fatigue. If you do not need cancelling, the Marshall Minor IV at KSh 16,500 and the Marshall Major V at KSh 15,500 cost less.
Technical Specifications
Audio Hardware
- 6mm dynamic driver — the driver is the small speaker inside each earbud, and a compact one keeps the earbud light.
- Driver sensitivity of 108dB and impedance of 16 ohms — a low impedance means a phone can drive the earbuds loudly without an amplifier.
- Active noise cancelling with four microphones — the earbuds listen to outside sound and play an opposite signal to reduce engine and crowd noise.
- Transparency mode — the microphones pass outside sound through, so you can hear announcements and conversation without removing an earbud.
- A separate microphone for calls — the person on the other end hears your voice while the cancelling microphones work on the surroundings.
Wireless Connectivity
- Bluetooth 5.3 — the wireless standard that keeps a steady link to your phone while using little power.
- LE Audio ready — LE Audio is a newer Bluetooth audio standard designed to use less power and support newer features.
- Multipoint connection — stay paired with two devices at once, such as a laptop and a phone, and move between them.
- Optional Marshall Bluetooth app — control cancelling and Transparency, change equaliser settings and install updates over the air.
- Works without the app — pair the earbuds in your phone settings and listen straight away.
Battery
- 6 hours of playback with cancelling on — about a full morning of calls and music before the case is needed.
- 9 hours of playback with cancelling off — switch cancelling off in a quiet room to stretch each charge by half.
- 30 hours in total with the case and cancelling on, and 43 hours with it off — the case holds the extra charges.
- 15-minute quick charge gives 1 hour of playback — a short top-up while you finish a coffee covers a short commute.
- About 1.5 hours to charge the earbuds and about 1.5 hours to charge the case — plan one full charge overnight.
- Wireless charging case — rest it on a compatible charging pad when you do not want to fiddle with a cable.
Build and Durability
- 4.31 grams per earbud — light enough to forget you are wearing them for a long working day.
- IPX5 rating on the earbuds — they resist jets of water, which covers heavy sweat and rain during a run.
- IPX4 rating on the case — it resists splashes, so keep it out of heavy rain and do not rinse it.
- Three sizes of ear tip, small, medium and large — a good seal improves both sound and noise cancelling.
- Black finish — confirm the colour in stock on WhatsApp before you visit.
Controls and Inputs
- Touch controls for music — tap to play, pause and skip without taking out your phone.
- Touch controls for cancelling and Transparency — switch modes with a touch when you walk from a loud road into a quiet office.
- Touch controls for calls and volume — answer, end and adjust level directly from the earbud.
- Spotify Tap shortcut — a touch opens your Spotify music, if you use the Spotify app.
- Mirrored controls on both earbuds — left and right respond in the same way, so you can use either hand.
- USB-C port on the case — charge from a phone charger, laptop port or power bank.
