Published on 12/10/10 at 09:42For how long have you been using it?
One week, just to the grind.
Did you try many other models before getting this one?
The Koss PortaPro and the Sony MDR-XB500. I talk about headphones attention that I used under the same conditions as the Marshall Major, namely a portable listening and not daily monitoring.
What thing do you like most/least about it?
Pros:
Already, it is beautiful. Is it the retro look of the headphones of the 80, with its extensible jack and angular shapes. Each style, but I think it throws, although in fact it is quite simple and a mat.
Another strong point, it is "fully collapsible", namely that folds on itself, like the PortaPro. Once folded, it is even more compact than the Koss, I had hardly thought possible!
Finally, it looks solid, I can not find it cheap at all and the finish is exemplary. Must see over time, but it looks good. It is very light but very compact.
THANK then to Marshall for putting a Jack Stand Strong, serious it is because of that damn Jack that I killed all my old headphones. And Jack can not quite stretch if you screw up you take the thread somewhere, it's great every day.
Cons:
After two hours of continuous listening, it makes me ears hurt, but I think it's because it is new, the Sony did this to me at first, then it spent the month of after. Once the foam is well established, I think it will go.
I not work with Marshall, but I'm too personal to say anything more negative, I try to be as neutral as possible.
In sound:
Notice to those seeking a neutral headphone, go your way. At the same time, it's not a studio headphones and listen to his music to his iPod is nickel. Marshall put his paw on the record sound, it feels.
Me, I use this headset all day in the Paris subway (although noisy so) and the insulation is not terrible, but I usually set the volume to 11, it bothers me no more than that. Other than that I'm not a big nag, and in a quiet listening on headphones to a good overall dynamic.
I also use the Major to mix, and it's really the foot. This headset with a fishing hell, and a hit on the high mids.
The bass is well again due I think, maybe a bit too cleared (as senior high), but a quick equalizer rule quickly did that.
Good overall sound is good, it reminds me of the PortaPro at the dynamic (but better). It's not perfect, but for 100 Euros is very correct. At this price there's no many products that will offer better. I much prefer the Beats by Dre (who are around the 300 Euros anyway ...)
What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Very good, knowing the reputation of brands to play on their notoriety. 100 Euros is reasonable for the type of headphone is it, I too felt like paying the logo "Marshall".
Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
Given the number of headphones that come out a month I can not say too much ... But in any case I am fully satisfied. This headset is good, solid, and it represents me well! (I'm a guitarist, and proud to be a Marshall on my ears!).
Finally, remember that Marshall is a novice in terms of headphones, and they start relatively well. There's always room for improvement, we will see in the future. Again this headphone and personality will not suit everyone, especially first-moaners who hope to find a grain and a dynamic perfect at this price: aim rather at Audio Technica or ultrasound, they make very property at 1500 Euro. But trust me, it slams. If you want to get one in store is not won on the other hand. I managed to dig up a Fnac in Paris, but it's a little misery at the level of availability. It's the nothingness in the Virgin, Saturn, Darty & Co. There's always the website on the other hand. Enjoy!
