Marshall Major III Bluetooth Foldable Headphones – Brown

Product Information

Overall the sound quality from the Marshall Major III headphones is decent, with a relatively well-balanced range. However these are not headphones for audiophiles. The Google link-up is separate to the standard Bluetooth link-up, and the Google one failed on me a few times. Of course, most of you will only have to pair up a few times, if not once. The Marshall Major III Voice are petite on-ear headphones that sport classic Marshall amp-inspired design and more involved smarts than rival units.

Remove the Google Assistant button from the Marshall Major III Voice and you have a set of headphones that looks almost exactly like the regular Major III Wireless. These on-ear headphones have fairly small cups and a leather-clad look inspired by Marshall’s line of guitar gear. That being said, that overall warm tone is very forgiving, and it does make for an enjoyable listening experience.

Listening to music for 30 minutes was enough to induce that clamping feeling that’s all too common with on-ear headphones – an hour spent with the headphones on left our ears feeling quite sore. If you also experience this problem with on-ear headphones, we’d recommend opting for over-ear headphones, which are usually more comfy, surrounding your ears rather than being placed on top of them – or, for ultimate ear-breathability, try some in-ear headphones. The aim with Google Assistant headphones such as this is to get close to what Apple offers with its headphones featuring the H1 or W1 chipsets – but we’re not close to that seamless experience yet. Marshall Major III Voice sound quality – A change in tone makes for a more agreeable and coherent sound With a straight band and heavily padded on-ear cushions, the headphones are designed to be comfortable for long periods of time, although we did experience a little discomfort from the pressure on ears after a long listening session. If you also have this problem with on-ear headphones, we’d recommend opting for over-ear headphones, which are usually more comfy, surrounding your ears rather than being placed on top of them.

Another great thing about the Marshal Major III Bluetooth headphones is that they have a very decent battery life. You can enjoy up to 30 hours of audio without recharging. We've spent some serious listening time with the Major III Bluetooth to see if they deserve to sit pride of place on your head.

The Marshall Major III Voice headphones come with support for Google Assistant built-in, allowing you to summon the helpful voice assistant at the touch of a button, as well as double the battery life (and the price) of their wired predecessor. At first glance, the Major III Bluetooth don't look too dissimilar to their predecessor, featuring the same square on-ear earcups complete with iconic white Marshall lettering that's reminiscent of the company's amplifiers. Another attractive feature is the ability to share your audio using the included 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable. Plug the cable into the Major IV, connect it to any pair of headphones with a 3.5mm port and whatever you’re listening to will be played through the other device as well. A section of the cable stretches so you don’t have to worry about pulling the headphones off your head if one of you moves, which is a nice touch. Opportunities to take advantage of such a feature may not present themselves too often – particularly at the moment – but it’s a thoughtful and useful inclusion nonetheless. Despite the Major IV sporting softer ear cushions than their predecessor, I found myself having to occasionally adjust them to alleviate the pressure on my ears during listening sessions. Although they feel good on your head when worn for short bursts, there’s still room for improvement when it comes to a truly comfortable fit on your ears.

Such guitars sound more pronounced through these headphones than rivals such as the AKG Y50BT or Urbanista Seattle Wireless. Another significant update for the Marshall III headphones is that the plastic adjustment sliders are now made with metal, allowing for more strength and durability. There’s also the option to fold your headphones down for easier transportation. Marshall Major III review: Features Presumably, Marshall used its previous mid-range approach to emphasise crunchy guitars. But it also had a tendency to make some vocal sound a little cold or nasal, which doesn’t make for the most engaging listen. Design is the most important element of the Marshall Major III, so let’s start by taking a tour of the Marshall amp-inspired bits. Clarity is good, but the Marshall Major III don’t offer quite the sound scale of the very best at the price.Though it’s not always easy to tell, the Marshall Major III are slimmer and sleeker than their older counterparts, though they maintain the classic aesthetic. The new headphones are also significantly lighter and come with softer ear-pads to allow for a more comfortable long-term wear.

In addition, the Major III aren’t as well built, or attractive, as the MID Bluetooth, currently available for just a little more. They fare better with Wild Beasts’ All The King’s Men, in which baritone vocals sound rich and sonorous, while meandering bass lines underpin complicated drum fills and undulating guitar riffs. Although there aren't some fancier features, such as active noise-cancelling, the Major III benefit by offering exceptional battery life - which is among the best we've come across in a pair of headphones. Where these headphones fall down is in the bass department, with slightly rolled-off frequencies which bassheads probably won’t appreciate. We tried out James Blake’s ‘If The Car Beside You Moves Ahead’ to put the bass frequencies to the test, and found the usually-body-thumping bass drum was pretty underwhelming. However, for general use, the sound is warm and balanced enough to give you a great listening experience. I didn’t find their wireless performance perfect, though. When heading into busy areas – such as London’s Victoria station – there were occasional blips, and the pairing process is a little more confusing than a standard set of Bluetooth headphones.The Major IV’s most attention-grabbing trait is their class-leading battery life. Only having to charge them once every few weeks is a huge boon in an age where we’ve become accustomed to power-hungry devices needing a daily top-up. They’re slightly bassier than the Beats Solo Pro, but this is mainly because the Solo Pro aren’t bassy at all by Beats standards. You can share your music by plugging in a headphone cable to the headphones when streaming music via Bluetooth
