About the Marshall Major II
Road-worthy and reliable
Road-worthy and reliable
The Marshall Major II headphones (pictured in black) fold into a tight, travel-friendly bundle.
How did Marshall became an institution in the world of live music? By building guitar amps that last, travel well, and play LOUD. The Marshall Major II headphones live up to the family name. I was able to fold these durable on-ears at their sturdy plastic sliders and palm the 'phones with one hand. They felt light to carry and wear. Yet when I put on guitar virtuoso Gary Clark Jr.'s live album, the Major II's bass- and mids-driven sound was super heavyweight.
Exciting and well-balanced sound
As I listened to the live version of "Catfish Blues," I jotted down, "man, these headphones bring the bass." But the lows weren't at the expense of the mids or highs. In fact, the hefty undercurrent of bass and percussion was a solid launching pad for Clark's soulful voice and soaring, next-level guitar riffs. The Major II headphones have an aggressive, "front-row" sound, for sure, but they were never muffled or distorted.
Classic Marshall looks, comfortable fit
The Major II headphones feature iconic Marshall trappings. You can see it from a distance, but I really noticed them up close. Even the detachable coiled cable features minplug connectors that are modeled after guitar plugs. And the famous logo is molded in raised, textured type on each earcup.
I'll be honest, I worried the design might have gone too far with the square-shaped earpads. However, they were extra-soft and easy to get used to. Very little sound escaped thanks to the tight seal. Plus, once I got them situated, I didn't have to move them around or adjust at all during listening.
Control tunes and answer calls
Near the top of the cable, there's an in-line remote with a built-in microphone. It features a single button you can push to skip tracks and play and pause music. It works with an iPhone® as well as most models of Android™ phones. If a call comes through, leave the headphones on and just punch the button on the remote to take the call.
