For me and probably most people when you see the brand Marshall you think of huge amps and cabinets, rock concerts and the possibility of crowd surfing and then thinking against it as you could just crash to the bottom of the pit.  I had no idea that they had branched out into headphones and having had a look into their collection they have quite a range of other tech including their own smartphone called London.

The packaging is great as you would expect from this brand and inside the box you have the Major II Bluetooth Headphones, a Detachable 3.55mm cord and the USB charging cable.  The headphones are collapsible and look great with their trademark leather look ear cups as well as a brass effect analogue control button, the ear cup fits nicely as does the band with both the feel and flexibility.  As the name suggests they are Bluetooth and use aptX to offer CD quality playback and minimal sync issues when watching a video, however as mentioned earlier you can just plug in the 3.55mm cord supplied with the headphones. 

I first started playing with these headphones with my iPhone 6 on the commute home, to sync you have to double click the power button and then look through your Bluetooth settings on your phone and select the headphones.  This is where the little brass analogue control button comes into play, with this you can control the shuffle of songs and volume as well as when you are receiving calls you can choose to answer or reject a call without having to touch your phone.  I wasn’t sure what to expect with regards to sound quality, but as I always do I tested with Metallica ‘Enter the Sandman’ and found it picked up and separated the bass well, the sound was warm and were well balanced throughout offering clarity and depth.  When I took these home I put them on charge and the following morning took them back to work to test the battery life, now here is a real selling point of the headphones the battery life lasted for four 8 hour working days and five 40 minute commutes it died at the end of the fourth day when I got the dreaded beeps – so I made the battery life around 35 hours.

With an RRP of £129 these are well worth the value, they sound and look good and the battery life is incredible – I look forward to reviewing more areas that Marshall have branched into and see if I can get my hands on their London Smart Phone!
