If you're paired with a phone and connect one end of the cable to the headphones and leave the other loose, audio will still stream to your headphones from your paired device. The headphones can also be used in a wired, passive mode (the mode that I’ll use most of the time as my trusty Discman and MiniDisc players don’t have a Bluetooth connection). They don't offer as much range, texture or bass as higher quality, more expensive headphones - but it's down to personal preference and what you want to pay in that sense. The battery is charged via the included micro-USB charging cable and provides more than 30 hours of playing time. Im new to this sub and not at all knowledgeable if it comes to posts like this, so please be distant.

You get a headphone cord for those times when you want to listen in wired mode -- say, on a plane -- but no carrying case is included. But the Marshalls make anything sound good, from Librarian by My Morning Jacket and Do I Wanna Know? They're mid-range in comparison with other Bluetooth, wireless headphones and once you add in the long battery life, you have very well placed set of entry-level headphones. Where the Major III really shine are rock and indie music, that's what kicked the brand off in the first place, after all.The Major III also has upgraded ear pads that are softer and feature upgraded materials (alas, the foam inside doesn't appear to be memory foam). Using the Voice Memos app on an iPhone 6s, we could understand every word we recorded, though the mic sounded slightly distant and there were some minor audio artifacts, which is typical with Bluetooth headphone mics.

And as mentioned earlier, Marshall's own Mid Bluetooth headphones are also excellent, and are often on sale for less than the Major III Bluetooth. Pairing is easy – just hold down the joystick for a few more seconds when powering the headphones on and find them on your phone.If you are hoping for a good headset to enjoy classical, acoustic or folk music that relies more on accuracy, the Monitor III’s are designed for that, although the sound coming from them is still somewhat warm, especially when being listened to at higher volumes. I'll have a full review of the Marshall Major III Bluetooth after I spend a little more time with them. These headphones have a significant upper-mid boost, and these are the frequencies that give crunchy and distorted guitars their character. Major II Bluetooth offers you the freedom and convenience of wireless Bluetooth aptX® technology and 30+ hours of playtime on a single charge.

Great for those who love the sound of crunchy guitars, but you can find better sound and build quality. The headband is slim and doesn't dig into our head even after extended durations, while the sturdy adjustment sliders offer a decent amount of size customisation. They charge in half the time that the older model did, going from dead to fully charged in around three hours via the microUSB socket in the right earcup. The sub-bass synth hits that punctuate the beat are delivered with gusto, but not with so much bass boosting that they sound overwhelmingly strong.If the battery is low, plug the headphones into a USB power source using the provided micro USB cable and let them charge for approximately 3 hours.

Nothing has been compromised when expanding the Marshall heritage of big stage performance to the individual enjoyment of good music. After successful pairing, the Major III Bluetooth headphones will be connected to your phone and disconnected from the previous phone.Audiophiles will almost certainly find the headphones lacking, but for the average listener - the Major III offer a very clear, punchy sound. This dynamic compact speaker features three dedicated class D amplifiers that power its dual tweeters and subwoofer, for a sound that is nothing short of large.
