If you're a headphone purist and wouldn't dream of hooking up a pair of closed-back cans to your hi-fi, these aren't for you. But for the rest of us, who want a versatile, easy to transport pair of headphones which sound terrific, they're hard to beat. ®

Amplifier maker Marshall has entered the fray with a range of over-the-ear and in-ear headphones that, thankfully, don't simply seek to cash in on a famous brand name. We reviewed a pair of headphones from the over-the-ear "Major" range - as opposed to the in-ear "Minor" range - and the first thing...

Marshall's line of on-ear Major headphones have been the company's most popular model over the years, and now the third generation Major III is about to hit stores in both wired and Bluetooth versions for $80 (£80, $AU100) and $150 (£130, $AU 200) respectively.

The third generation of Marshall's popular on-ear wireless headphone features improved sound, a sturdier design and softer ear cups.
