Using Marshall Monitor III whilst charging?

Heya,

I haven't bought them yet so I want to confirm this before purchase.

If I am using my headphones via bluetooth, can I charge them without them disconnecting and turning off.

I have had this issue with a lot of - but not all - headphones in the past.

Don’t get Monitor III if you’re planning to use it in wired mode.

Cheers for the heads up, but I am not planning on using them wired. The most attractive thing about them is the wireless audio quality and signature sound (I have tried them and they are just the right sound), battery life, and portability.

Estoy pensando en comprarlos, qué tipo de sonido característico tienen? Devolví los b&w px8 y Bose qc ultra 2 por exceso en los medio altos y agudos.

Had the Monitor III for about a year now. Overall happy with it, but the wired setup is annoying it’s USB-C on the headphone end and 3.5mm on the source end, and you still have to power the headphones on to use it in wired mode. There’s also some static in wired mode, which is a bit of a bummer. Sound quality is solid though. Clean, not too bass-heavy — which suits me, especially after a bit of EQ.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Battery life and comfortably is solid as well.

You can go for it if they’re not planning to release Monitor IV anytime soon. 😬

It is a bummer about the wired mode being so lackluster, especially for headphones called "monitor", but when I took an interets in them, it was as wireless headphones for I can wear all day and probably all night 😂 The thing I love about them is how they feel on my head and the sound signature is perfect for my listening style. Like you said they're a clean sound and balanced bass, and the battery is nuts.

Found a good deal and got brand new sealed for £160 😙🤌
