In fact, even the soft leather headband is wrapped with Marshall's own Tolex flexible vinyl fabric that has covered Fender guitar amplifiers and Coffin Case guitar cases since the 1960s. Here, it acts as an extra layer of protection against natural elements while you wear them outside.

The uniquely attractive Marshall Major headphones eliminate outside noise and exhibit an ample sound stage that complements any type of music

The vinyl ear cushions retain heat and the over-ear design can be uncomfortable after several hours of continual use

Marshall Major Review I've been using the Marshall Major for over 6 months now and it's one of my favorite portable headphones (my all time favorite is the ATH-M50 but it's a bit big to carry around all the time). First the classic, vintage, and old school design just appeals to me.

Great retro looks and that famous logo don't entirely make up for a slightly confused, shouty performance

Classy looks; good for vocals

Harsh treble; bass lacks oompf

The Marshall Major headphones offer an aesthetic appeal that is uniquely Marshall and bring with that look a very live sound that we think many listeners will appreciate.

Brilliant; live sound; Accurate bass; Unique aesthetic; Well built

Uncomfortable for long term use; Upper mids compress at high volumes

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 has been a force to reckon with in audio for half a century, with luminaries like Pete Townsend and others using their amps and gear in their live and recorded projects ever since. Ever since they added portable audio gear like headsets, Marshall has continued the tradition.

Old-fashioned; retro design; Well-built; with a thick cord and great padded headband; Fully-functional remote/mic; Nice straight gold-plated 3.5mm plug; with full-sized adaptor included; Great; sturdily-built canvas pouch for carrying the headset around included; Wonderful; fantastic audio...

None as far as I can tell

NIce Looking thats it I bought them for playing guitar and the cord is short,and after a year they Krackle in one ear total RIP JOB.

With its enviable reputation as an amplifier manufacturer unquestionably secure, Marshall is looking to extend its repertoire with the Marshall Major headphones and Marshall Minor earphones, the latter of which we're looking at here.

Well-built; Stylish looks; Decent sound quality

Cheaper; better sounding rivals avaialble; Somewhat uncomfortable

Every rock guitarist knows the name "Marshall." Every rock guitarist. The name is legendary and carries a certain allure for rock ‘n roll musicians the world over. Now Marshall offers that same rock legend status to a broader market with their headphone line.
