Marshall Monitor Review
Rawk-themed headphones have been popping up more and more lately—we recently had the Motörheadphones Motörizer storm into our labs, and now we have the Marshall Monitor. At $200, the Monitor is a classy homage to the legendary guitar amps. But it's more than just a cool-looking headphone pair—it also offers powerful, distortion-free audio, and the ability to remove a filter if you prefer your sound brighter rather than warmer. It's hard to find many flaws with the exceedingly comfortable, solid performance of the Marshall Monitor, so we've awarded it our Editors' Choice. In the $200 headphone realm, it's a stand-out option worthy of your attention.
DesignFrom a design standpoint, the Marshall Monitor($120.00 at Amazon) is a solid product. Unlike recent rock-inspired headphones that were lacking in this department (we're looking at you, Motörheadphones Motörizer), Marshall gets the important things right—the headphones not only sound good, but feel good.
