"Impressive functionality, build quality, style and sound. "
I brought these as I was sick of listening to my music with lower end sub par headphones and these were on special. I have to say these have been a breath of fresh air for me and though not totally blown away by the sound I am very impressed on all fronts; functionality, build quality, style and sound. I am really enjoying being able to hear my music so much more clearly and not having to crank up the sound so much. The functional design not only looks good but is very practical, such as the curled cable and extendable sides. Quite happy with my purchase being that they were on special but don't think I would pay full price for them.
"Comfortable and clear."
A nice fitting and well made pair of headphones with a beautiful sound quality. I would recommend these to casual and enthusiast music listeners. All that and they just look awesome.

Review by CNET
The good: The uniquely attractive Marshall Major headphones eliminate
outside noise and exhibit an ample sound stage that complements any type of
music.
The bad: The vinyl ear cushions retain heat and the over-ear design can
be uncomfortable after several hours of continual use.
The bottom line: The Marshall Major headphones live up to
Marshall's strong legacy with a familiar shape and excellent acoustics to match
its line of amps.
“The closed-back, on-ear Marshall Majors headphones carry noise-canceling functionality for your ride to work, school, and anywhere in between. The Majors deliver excellent sound detail and functional design elements like a Tolex-wrapped headband and a knurled cable jack that are synonymous with the Marshall name. With few complaints – aside from fit issues and hot ears after prolonged listening – the Marshall Major headphones provide sartorial flair and brilliant tonal capacity and would make a worthwhile buy for your next pair of headphones.”
