Design and features:This Bluetooth wireless home/studio-style on-ear model provides acceptable sound. Although it lacks active noise reduction, the closed design helps to reduce both outside noise and sound leaking out into your environment.
Additional features include:
Has integrated volume control, microphone, and call connect/disconnect control.
Free Marshall Bluetooth app download for Apple and Android mobile devices adds additional features and software updates.
Sound quality:We found the Major V delivers sound quality that falls in the acceptable range - it reproduces music and voice reasonably well despite the obvious shortcomings in its sound. With the Marshall Bluetooth app set to the original Marshall sound the bass (as in bass drums, bass guitars, stand-up bass, etc.) has good impact and goes deep, but is boomy and somewhat prominent. The midrange (voices, guitars, horns, etc.) is slightly thin, and a bit nasal, hazy, and grainy. The treble (cymbals, the upper range of violins, etc.) is extended, but is a somewhat prominent and sizzly (sounds that should have a delicate shimmer have a sound reminiscent of bacon frying). While the sound has a decent sense of liveliness, it is somewhat closed (sound-wise it's fairly obvious you have something plugging your ears) and does a decent job of recovering room ambience. Mixed character - warm bass with coolish midrange and treble. The overall sound can be summarized as a lean with boomy bass.
Comfort and Fit:We found that these headphones produce a sense of moderate pressure on the ears. As typical of on-ear models the ear pads might feel hot and/or sticky after prolonged use.
Large
Users with larger heads might find that the headband does not have enough adjustment range resulting in the headband pressing slightly uncomfortably on the top of the head.
Some users may find that when they lean far forward the headphones feel unstable and shift forward, possibly to the point of falling off.
When the audio cord is used the sound of it rubbing on clothing may be faintly heard through the earphones.
