Marshall has incorporated dual batteries to achieve these figures (it's 100hrs with ANC off, in case you were wondering), but they're placed inside the cups rather than the headband and that helps the band feel light on the head even though it isn't particularly well cushioned. The soft faux-leather earcups are light on the ears too.

These cans weigh just 250g, and are genuinely comfortable to wear for long periods.
