Founded by Jim Marshall in 1962, the company of the same name has become one of the symbols of rock music during its existence. And gigantic walls, consisting of speakers, amplifiers and combos of the company, towered on the stage behind Jimi Hendrix, Iggy Pop, the guys from Metallica and hundreds of other rock musicians. In the 20s of the new century, the company changed the vector and entered the home acoustics market, starting to produce portable speakers, home acoustics and headphones.

Marshall Major headphones.

The Major line is not the only one in the company's lineup, but it is its appearance that reflects the style and image of rock culture as much as possible. They are literally created for people who, when choosing headphones, rely not so much on the sound output as on visual aesthetics. The case covered with artificial leather, stylish ear pads made of leatherette, massive twisted cables and logos on each cup, reminiscent of iconic amplifiers ― how can you pass by here?

Since 2012, only three closed-type overhead models have been released in this family. The first version was supplied with a regular cable, in subsequent versions the cable became removable, then with a boom on wireless headphones, Major versions with Bluetooth connection came out. At the moment, this particular model is the most relevant in this line.

Marshall Major III Bluetooth headphones.

The design of the Major III has even more leather trim, the headphones sit more comfortably on the head thanks to the redesigned headband (but you still have to wear it a little), the design has become a little more restrained and less kinchy, and sexy dark brown models have appeared in the assortment. But the biggest changes affected the sound. If Marshall used to gravitate towards a darker and rockier sound, Major III sounded more balanced: the middle frequencies no longer bulge, the sub-basses sound more distinct, and the upper frequencies are raised, not muffled as in previous models.
