Considering the brand is best known for its iconic amps, it makes sense that the design of the Marshall Major III Voice are reminiscent of amplifiers. Six decades in the business requires a special kind of celebration, which is why we created our limited edition Black Diamond collection. On the Major III Bluetooth headphones, hold down the power button for about 5 seconds until the LED indicator starts flashing. The brass plate is proudly etched with the establishment date of 1962 – a subtle nod to the brand’s heritage and over 50 years of loud. The arms are slimmer and simplified, but maintain their height, twisting and tilting degrees of freedom so that they sit flat against your ear.

Competition in the headphone market is stiff these days, particularly as more people shift to totally wireless headphones like the AirPods. Subsequently Jim took up the drums and by the late 1930’s he was teaching and playing professionally. At absolute top volumes, we get a hint of distortion on the sub-bass, but dialing back to more reasonable volume levels, the bass is clean and full, and notably matched by crisp high frequency presence.The little gold dots where the headband meets the cup spokes are based on Marshall’s iconic volume knobs – and, of course, there’s no missing that logo. When it comes to the headphones, the Major III Voice offer up to 60 hours of wireless playtime on a single charge with 40mm dynamic drivers and a 30-foot wireless range.

Initially the connection stayed on longer, normal, but now it's doing that 5 second connection time and it's gone. The Marshall Major III are on-ear wireless Bluetooth headphones made in the image of Marshall’s guitar amplifiers. The 40mm dynamic drivers reproduce the mids and highs of guitars, high-hats, vocals and wind-instruments well — meaning that blues and rock sound lush and expressive. It was likely a one-off, but is a pitfall of a weaker structure as opposed to a single continuous piece of metal, as seen in the MID headphones. My guess is that this more subdued look will attract professional and mature users and I’m pretty sure there are plenty of us in that group!
