Marshall Major III Foldable Headphones - White

Product Information

That pair replaced, I find the Marshall Major III fairly comfortable. Like any on-ear headphones, you may find they cause slight ear fatigue if worn all day. However, the designers have done their best to ensure a balance between comfort and sufficient tension to keep the headphones on your head while on a run.

The Marshall Major III are less sturdy and premium-feeling than the MID, however. Where the latter sports a solid, all-metal headband, the Major IIIs have plastic hinges, and the headband pares right down to just spokes by the cups. In terms of design, the Marshall Major III Voice headphones haven’t changed dramatically since their wireless predecessor was released in 2018. They sport the same compact on-ear design, which is fully collapsible so you can easily stow them away in your bag when not in use. The Bluetooth mic offers decent intelligibility. Using the Voice Memos app on an iPhone 6s, we could understand every word we recorded, though the mic sounded slightly distant and there were some minor audio artifacts, which is typical with Bluetooth headphone mics. The cable's inline mic delivers excellent clarity, with even a little added bass response.New to this generation of the Marshall Major III headphones is support for Google Assistant – simply press a dedicated button on the outer right earcup to summon the voice assistant on your device. Though there is some obvious bass support here, the sound is very natural overall. If you’re looking for pounding lower levels, you may need to search elsewhere. They look less blingy and the faux-leather look is less evident than the previous model. The cushy headband is both sturdy and springy, with some flexibility to fit bigger shaped heads too.

Once a good fit has been found, the Major IV’s natural noise isolation is decent enough to at least mask the footsteps of someone behind you while keeping the wearer aware of what’s around such as traffic. In environments where there’s lots of noise, there is a struggle to hear audio.

If, somehow, you find yourself short of battery, then the Major IV support fast-charging (15 minutes for a mammoth 15 hours), while there’s wireless charging support, too – a feature I haven’t often seen in headphones that aren’t true wireless. A charging pad isn’t supplied with the Major IV, so there’s just a USB-C charging cable for charging purposes. The sound quality from the Marshall major 3 headphones is acceptable, with a relatively well-balanced range and passive noise cancellation is never a strong point of on-ear headphones, but the Marshall major 3 are particularly disappointing in this regard. So there’s no active noise cancelling ( ANC) to be found here. Connectivising Range Unfortunately, there are a few downsides from a sound quality perspective too. For instance, you don’t get any active noise cancellation included. What’s more, passive noise cancellation isn’t as great as it could be – which is often the case with on-ear headphones.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. 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. Passive noise cancellation is never a strong point of on-ear headphones, but the Marshall Major IIIs are particularly disappointing in this regard. We tried them in the office and could still easily hear people’s conversations, meaning you’d have to really blast your music if you wanted to drown out the outside world. There’s no active noise cancellation option offered here, which isn’t surprising considering this is seen as more of an entry level pair from Marshall. For active noise cancellation, you’re going to have to stump up the cash for the enjoyable and premium Marshall Mid ANCs. 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. The battery Life of Marshall major 3 is around 30 hours, but your results will vary with your volume levels and Marshall major 3 wireless headphones can work for the last 5 years and still they provide good quality.

Clarity is good, but the Marshall Major III don’t offer quite the sound scale of the very best at the price. Wireless connectivity is fairly up to date with Bluetooth 5.0, and over testing the connection has been reliably solid. The only issue was walking through Waterloo train station, where the signal didn’t drop completely, but there was a sense of music phasing in and out as the connection tried to stabilise itself. Sound The Marshall Major III Bluetooth are another brilliant pair of wireless on-ear headphones from the British audio brand that bring great sound, very long battery life and classic styling. They’re at their best when playing guitar music; the gently strummed guitar in Bon Iver’s For Emma sounds warm and natural, while Justin Vernon’s falsetto vocal has a rich, resonant quality. The same can’t be said when the vocals dip into the mid-low ranges, where they feel lost amongst the other frequencies. The area where it’s most evident is with the ear-cups. Marshall says it’s used softer padding that moulds itself to the ear for increased comfort. Without the previous model to hand, I can’t speak to whether that’s a merited change – but, nevertheless, the Major IV headphones are very comfortable to wear.In addition, the Major III aren’t as well built, or attractive, as the MID Bluetooth, currently available for just a little more. That’s certainly the case with the Marshall Major III Bluetooth headset. Despite a premium appearance, these headphones are wonderfully affordable, as well as lightweight and versatile. Let’s take a closer look at what you can accomplish with the Marshall Major headphones. Marshall Major III review: Design and size

For example, the inner part of the cup pad uses a smoother, softer synthetic leather, plus there’s ultra-soft velour inside the pad’s hole. If you love the Marshall-inspired design then go ahead. However, if the priority is the best sound quality for your money, then look elsewhere. Verdict That being said, that overall warm tone is very forgiving, and it does make for an enjoyable listening experience. The first pair of Major IIIs that Marshall sent in actually had an issue with the headband, resulting in deformations. It was likely a one-off, but is a pitfall of a weaker structure as opposed to a single continuous piece of metal, as seen in the MID headphones.

A play of Patrice Rushen’s Forget Me Not, the bouncy beat is more vibrantly conveyed and engaging with the Marshalls – there’s a sense of fun here that can’t be heard as much on the Status. On-ears don’t tend to offer as many features as their over-ear cousins, but that doesn’t mean what features are present on the Major IV aren’t worthy of interest. Pros: great sound, long battery life, great controls, fold up for travel, sturdy, great look, good connectivity For one, the Major IV offer super stamina. Thirty hours is usually the benchmark, but the Major IV go beyond with a quoted 80+ hour figure, so there’s little reason to manage battery life with this set of headphones. While the company often earns the most attention for its professional amplifier products, it also produces a range of consumer-grade products too. Marshall’s portfolio includes everything from wireless portable speakers to headphones with active noise cancellation.
