I've been using the Marshall Monitor III headphones for over a year and they just got a rare lowest-ever price discount

I don't know about you, but I love it when the tech I love (or want) is discounted. As someone who reviews consumer tech for a living, it's my job to thoroughly test products and tell you whether they're worth your money, so trust me when I say the Marshall Monitor III are well worth the premium — and there's no reason to not buy them when they get a killer discount.

That's just happened. I was randomly browsing Amazon when I spotted this deal. The Marshall Monitor III are just $248 at Amazon right now, knocking 34% off. That's a crazy discount, and I've never seen them drop this low before. You'll be saving over $100 if you bag this deal — and there are many, many reasons why you should.

A great internal upgrade to Marshall’s already impressive noise canceling, bringing a slate of new features to the table. They’re comfortable, sound great, and fold up smaller than any other pair of noise-canceling headphones that money can buy.

I've been using the Monitor III extensively for over a year. Regardless of where I go, they're either around my neck or on my head. I use them on my commute to and from work, while traveling, working, even playing video games — so I can attest to the fact that they offer bang for your buck.

Firstly, they're ridiculously comfortable with plush ear cushions and a headband that doesn't exert pressure on the top of your head. I've worn them for up to 10 hours a day without any discomfort. They weigh just 8.8oz too, so I never feel weighed down by them. But their key selling point is the outstanding, well-balanced sound quality.

The Monitor III's 32mm dynamic drivers deliver thumping basslines without them sounding muddy or booming. Treble is vibrant but never overzealous, so hi-hats and high-pitched vocals never pierce through the rest of the soundstage. They're tuned exceptionally, as you'd expect from a pair of flagship headphones. And if you want to adjust the EQ, you can do so through the very user-friendly companion app.

I also love the Monitor III's Soundstage spatial audio, which moves the sound out into a virtual room, and makes it feel like the instruments and vocals are swirling around you. Any time I listen to, say, Tame Impala through these headphones with Soundstage toggled, I feel like I'm at a live gig. It's some of the best implementation of spatial audio I've seen in a pair of headphones.

Alongside stellar sound quality and comfort, the Monitor III offer long battery life too. These headphones can last up to 100 hours with ANC disabled, which is great for anyone who forgets to charge their gadgets frequently. And needless to say, the Monitor III look extremely stylish, thanks to their black body and brass accents — I think they look better than most over-ears, including those from the likes of Sony and JBL!

The best time to buy the Monitor III was when they first came out and reviewed well. The second-best time to buy them is now, when they're $131 off at Amazon. This is a rare discount that doesn't come by very often so if I were you, I'd grab this deal with both hands and run!
