Marshall is an audio brand whose story began in 1962, when Jim and Terry Marshall built their first amplifier in Hanwell, London. The brand now belongs to Marshall Group, which has its head office in Stockholm and was formed in 2023 when Stockholm-based Zound Industries merged with Marshall Amplification of Milton Keynes. The two companies had worked together since 2010 to bring the Marshall name to headphones and wireless speakers. Its headphones include wired, wireless and noise-cancelling models, among them the Monitor III ANC over-ear headphones and the Motif II ANC earbuds.
