Marshall Major

Classy looks, good for vocals

Harsh treble, bass lacks oompf

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

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.

The Marshall Major headphones live up to Marshall's strong legacy with a familiar shape and excellent acoustics to match its line of amps.

Headsets from Marshall and Sony : Marshall Major & Sony MDR-570LP

Having recently reviewed the Marshall Minor it seems natural to try the Marshall Major. Almost at the same time one of the latest offerings from Sony the MDR-570LP so here I give my thoughts on both these headset units.

Still when a portable unit is in a pocket or bag near your body you do not need extra length of cable than that provided

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...
