Marshall Major Review

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.

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
