Marshall Major II Bluetooth On-Ear Headphones, Black (4091378) - Discontinued

I like good music and I like good sound. But I also like money. I need it for things like food and clothing and to pay my mortgage. So that means that I can't justify spending hundreds of dollars on a pair of headphones.~I didn't want Active Noise-Cancelling headphones because I have hearing loss in one ear and ANC makes me dizzy.~I didn't want over the ear headphones because I wear hearing aids.~I also get migraines (what isn't wrong with this guy?) so I need a light pair of headphones.In walks the Marshall Major II BT headphones.Since they aren't Sony or Bose it took me forever but I finally found these little gems. Battery life is great. They are light and super comfy. No issues with connectivity. They have a backup plug in case they die so you can still use them without the Bluetooth. And they just look cool. They do a good enough job getting rid of office noise for me, though, if you need to feel like the rest of the world doesn't exist, these are not the headphones for you.Cons: I only have one - I don't like the fact that I am not sure if they are on. There is no light indicator that stays on all the time to tell me, and when I put them down on the desk, sometimes I don't turn them off. So I forget and have to play music or something to see. Just wish the white light stayed on, even if it shaved off a little battery life.So there ya go. If you're poor, deaf, get migraines, aren't an audio snob and want to know if someone is behind you making, say, kill you noises....buy these.

Amazing pair of wireless cans for sub USD100. Although the bass is not that powerful but good for the mid-high frequencies. Did not crackle with heavy bass, but just did not have that omph! Just got them so cannot really ascertain the longevity of the cushion pads and leather coverings. Both wireless and wired connections sounds ok and the control buttons needs some getting used to, but otherwise works well with the iphone device.There may be some feedback earlier on the pads coming off easily. Well, all i did was to remove the pads, stick a tiny bit of Blue-Tac/sticky tape behind and it never come off again.There was also a feedback on poor bluetooth calls quality and guess what, it worked just fine for my set. In actual fact, I got a same pair 6 months back from THAT famous China website and claimed to be the original set. The box, packaging and accessories were top notched and you can hardly tell the difference.The leather and cushion feels authentic but the sound was a bit muffled. Worse, the LEFT and RIGHT audio was reversed! Bluetooth audio calls was very kinda bad with lots of static, so I'm guessing the earlier reviews had THIS version...After getting this set from Amazon, I compared them side by side and to be honest, the differences are very subtle. Was very worried that the set from Amazon would arrive in the same condition as the China website (Marshall headphones are made in China, I think) but very glad that my fears was unfounded. Would have gotten the brown unit, but the cost difference was kinda high.

To start with the cons (or rather, the only con), these headphones are really tight out of the box. Supremely, uncomfortably tight, regardless of glasses or contacts. My solution was to just bend them out of shape -- the band is REALLY sturdy, but I got them to open into more of a straight U shape than the more Ohm-ish Ω shape they came in by bending open just the ends. That's the only reason for 4/5 rather than 5/5.The biggest pro for me is the battery life. I use these in tandem with a standalone mic while gaming, but I also take part in D&D sessions that usually run a bare minimum of 3 hours, and being leashed to a wired headset was driving me nuts. In the two weeks I've had these so far, I've used them for anywhere between 1 and 7 hours straight pretty regularly, and I've only had to charge them once. Once! One time. Audio is perfectly fine while charging as well.The sound is also great -- I'm not an audiophile or anything, but music doesn't sound flat no matter what genre, and the bass sounds nice. When I'm listening to people talking (which is 90% of what I'm listening to through these), they all sound just fine, too. The Bluetooth range is pretty impressive; I took the advice of someone else in the reviews for these headphones and got an aptX USB adapter, and I can get pretty far from my PC (or "behind" a fair number of walls) before sound starts cutting out. The "onboard" mic is decent for phone calls, but I suggest disabling this headset as a communications device if you connect it to your computer, because the communications device mode nukes sound quality across the board. With that disabled, though, there are no sound quality issues at all, and again, all audio I've had playing through these has sounded fantastic to me.And on top of everything, these look really, really fantastic. The gold metal details are all metal rather than painted plastic, and the charging cable has the same hatched pattern engraved as the tips of the band. The 3.5mm cable included is the first time I've ever thought, "wow, that's a gorgeous cable," because it really is. Everything in the box feels like it was designed to be cohesive, rather than just a nice headset tossed into a box with two black cables -- which I suppose is a low bar, but nevertheless, it all looks really, really good. The headphones fold up to be really small (even after I bent them open) and I have no problems fitting them in a smaller bag or pocket, plus they're reasonably light. The volume/next/previous button is really cool and clicks really satisfyingly.All in all, they look fantastic, sound great, and fit just fine after some loosening.
