They feel extremely well made, and improvements to the design mean you’d have to be pretty rough with them to break them. This type of device allows you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise.Marshall has been pumping out a steady flow of quality audio products designed in the style of the brand's iconic amps, and its new Major III Bluetooth headphones are no exception. Well, when I first connect it it somehow the M1 disconnects the bluetooth headphones 2 seconds after connecting, when I try a second time pressing longer on the bluetooth button on the headphones, the M1 does stay connected. Editorial independence means being able to give an unbiased verdict about a product or company, with the avoidance of conflicts of interest.

The overall tone is warm and full of low end, which will suit those of you who mostly listen to virtually any type of music. Thus, while the headphone is a closed back system, the effect for people wearing it will be closer to what you would experience with an open back system, where environmental sounds will definitely leak into the ears. Lower register instrumentation get pushed forward slightly, delivered with a lovely richness, while the higher register brass, strings, and vocals command most of the spotlight.

There's very little noise leakage though, meaning our coworkers didn't have to listen to our playlists when the volume was turned up loud.

The audio purists and true professional engineers may not get on the Marshall Major III train with the lack of clarity in the high end and slight bass-end distortion. Passive noise cancellation is never a strong point of on-ear headphones, but the Marshall Major IIIs are particularly disappointing in this regard. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps), which means it can adjust the bit rate for different scenarios, such as listening to HD audio or reducing interference from other devices. No problems with connectivity and great sound, according to my lucky boyfriend who got them for Christmas. Prior to my career in reviewing tech, I worked as an audio engineer—my love of recording audio eventually led me to writing about audio gear.
