Great value for money.

As somebody said : very high quality headphones with great sound, but the earpieces are too small for your ear to fit inside, so they end up pressing your ear against your head, which you can found uncomfortable.I really hope they will get more easy to wear if used.For the price range they are very good.So if you don’t want to pay over 100 and still having great sound just buy them.You can always return them if you are too selective and by some chance you don’t like the sound.Battery is great.

Edit 2: Contacted Marshall support and they are working fine – if you have connectivity issues do this:1) Put the headphones in pairing mode: press the gold button and hold it until the LED light is flashing bright blue (approx 8-10 seconds).after approximately 3-5 seconds, the headphones will power on and the LED will go whiteafter approximately 8-10 seconds, the LED light will cycle to bright blue and the headphones will now be available to pair to the music source

I bought these to replace a nice set, albeit old set of Sennheiser mm 450 x blue tooth headphones. Value for money the feel, sound and look great. Noise cancelling is pretty much nonexistent, but for my use this is fine. Although marketed as an on the ear headphone, they are reasonably large and almost fit over my ears completely. The single toggle button on the side was a bit fiddly at first, but once you get the hang of it, it works well. Battery life so far has been great and the quoted 30hrs seems underrated, I use them every day for around an hour and it’s getting to nearly 2 months of use and I have still not had to charge them up again. All in all a really nice set of headphones but if you doubled the price you would notice the difference.

So Ive only had the Major IIIs for a couple of days. However, Im suitably impressed so far.The sound quality is as good as than any others Ive tried out – even in higher price brackets (e.g. top range Sennheiser, Bose, Parrot, B&O). They are in the same ballpark to my ears.Note: I mainly listen to alternative, all kinds of electronic music, alternative/prog rock, post-rock, post-metal, post-hardcore etc so the levels/dynamics of various genres stand up to scrutiny on these phones to my ears.Yes, the bass may be the standout range, which is strong but still clear and not at all over the top. But the mids and treble are also very crisp and clear. No grating treble, harshness or lack of clarity that come with so many mid-range headphones, so listening for hours is a joy.I would admit there is a bit of sound leakage in that if youre on the train and theyre on near full volume the person next to you will be able to hear the music a little. But unless youre fairly close, there should be no problem, especially at normal (mid-high) volumes.The 30 hours playback on one charge sounds too good to be true. Even if it turns out to be 20 in real life (perhaps due to volume or using the gold button a lot), this is still more than sufficient playtime for most listeners. It certainly is for me. My previous mid-price in ear phones only got about 8 hours max before needing a recharge.Comfort is great for an hour or so.But – as with pretty much any on-ear headphones – they may get a little uncomfortable after this from pressing on your ears, despite the soft muffs. Therefore Id probably advise to take them off for around 5 mins per hour (which is a good rule of thumb for music listening anyways) and then you should be okay to go again. This is my only negative really. Though they are more comfortable than any other on-ear phones I have owned previously over the years.The gold button is very handy, and does everything I can think youd want it for, all in one place i.e. syncing with your device, turning on/off, volume control and skipping tracks. The button feels robust, which is assuring. Time will tell, but with years warranty I feel suitably covered.The Major IIIs look very good on, in my opinion, with the retro stylings and not large or unwieldy. Indeed they are quite compact, and for me this is a good thing. They fold up easily and nicely, making them more secure. But a case to protect your Major IIIs may be a good idea. For under 10 quid I saw this as a no-brainer.The build-quality seems decent. Theyre not at all flimsy in my opinion, but theyre not made of steel either ! They have the amount of give I expected, and sit comfortably on the top of the head as well as the ears.Despite the seemingly sufficient build-quality, it may be worth investing (as I did), in the case to keep them clean and safe. This should mean years of happy listening. No one wants their possessions to break in their bag or by being sat on !The phones were extremely easy to pair with my iPhone…And as I dont like wires – and the latest iPhones dont have normal aux jacks, or any jacks at all – this was a good excuse to invest in some good quality phones. Which just happen to better than any in-ear style in my view, and cost less than (crappy) AirPods do at the moment(!) whilst looking and sounding so much better, in my opinion.Time will tell, and I will endeavour to update this review accordingly if there are any issues e.g. sound quality degradation, but this is something I have noted occurs more with in-ear phones…..I will admit I may be slightly biased (though I have been as clear and honest as I can be) given that I have always been impressed with Marshall amps compared to the competition. Only Orange amps compare well in this market in my opinion.Feel free to post a question and I will endeavour to provide an objective answer.

I bought these for my daughter, and she loves them. For the price they are very good and have a very decent sound, although it is a bit bass heavy. They are on-ear headphones which some like and some don’t, clearly if you like on-ear designs this is great but many prefer over-ear designs. These are the corded version, not blue tooth, so you need a device with a 3.5mm headphone jack or a more traditional audio system with a headphone jack. They are light weight and build quality is OK for the price, although I would say that they do not feel as nice as you might expect from the photographs and the leatherette ear cup look is actually rather plasticky. For sound, as noted they have quite a pronounced bass, but if you like a bit of bass the sound is very acceptable and competitive with other headphones in the price range. One criticism I’d make is it would be nice if they’d included some sort of carry bag or pouch.Overall I’d rate these as good headphones for their price. Their build and sound quality is fine at this price point and I don’t think many would complain provided they like on-ear headphones. For what they are they are very good and recommendable, although I’d also point out that if people are willing to go up a step then you can get significantly better sound quality by paying more for still pretty affordable headphones like the AKG K371 and at the moment you can get the Sennheiser Momentum for not a lot more which are far superior in every way.

Don’t bother if using with an mp3 player, phone or outside a silent room.Even with a volume booster and max volume It sounds like half volume level on other headphones. If wearing outside or in an environment like a train or bus you will hear people’s conversation and outside noise clearer than the music. Only real use I can get is plugged into computer or an amp when playing guitar. Very disappointed
