From the manufacturer
Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark. ..
An impressive second act, the classic Major kicks up its performance a few notches. Updated sound, looks and durability, as well as improved ergonomics, give way to a whole new level of listening. A rock-solid character that’s built to last, the Major II makes its presence known.
It’s more advanced sound features include customised drivers, to deliver deeper bass and more extended detailed highs with a refined mid- range and overall lower distortion.
The detachable double-ended coil cord with mic and remote is equipped with an L-plug end, providing improved durability and carrying ease. The dual 3.5 mm jacks allow you to choose which side you prefer to wear your cable on or to plug in and share your music with a friend.
With its newly constructed hinges and headband design, the Major II fits better than ever. Allowing for increased flexibility and the ear caps to rotate more freely, the Major II adapts to your head shape for increased comfort during those long listening sessions.
True to form, The Major II is yet another solid work-horse manufactured in the trademark Marshall way.

Tight out of the box, but the battery life is fantastic
To start with the cons (or rather, the only con), these headphones are really tight out of the box. Supremely, uncomfortably tight, regardless of glasses or contacts. My solution was to just bend them out of shape -- the band is REALLY sturdy, but I got them to open into more of a straight U shape than the more Ohm-ish Ω shape they came in by bending open just the ends. That's the only reason for 4/5 rather than 5/5.The biggest pro for me is the battery life. I use these in tandem with a standalone mic while gaming, but I also take part in D&D sessions that usually run a bare minimum of 3 hours, and being leashed to a wired headset was driving me nuts. In the two weeks I've had these so far, I've used them for anywhere between 1 and 7 hours straight pretty regularly, and I've only had to charge them once. Once! One time. Audio is perfectly fine while charging as well.The sound is also great -- I'm not an audiophile or anything, but music doesn't sound flat no matter what genre, and the bass sounds nice. When I'm listening to people talking (which is 90% of what I'm listening to through these), they all sound just fine, too. The Bluetooth range is pretty impressive; I took the advice of someone else in the reviews for these headphones and got an aptX USB adapter, and I can get pretty far from my PC (or "behind" a fair number of walls) before sound starts cutting out. The "onboard" mic is decent for phone calls, but I suggest disabling this headset as a communications device if you connect it to your computer, because the communications device mode nukes sound quality across the board. With that disabled, though, there are no sound quality issues at all, and again, all audio I've had playing through these has sounded fantastic to me.And on top of everything, these look really, really fantastic. The gold metal details are all metal rather than painted plastic, and the charging cable has the same hatched pattern engraved as the tips of the band. The 3.5mm cable included is the first time I've ever thought, "wow, that's a gorgeous cable," because it really is. Everything in the box feels like it was designed to be cohesive, rather than just a nice headset tossed into a box with two black cables -- which I suppose is a low bar, but nevertheless, it all looks really, really good. The headphones fold up to be really small (even after I bent them open) and I have no problems fitting them in a smaller bag or pocket, plus they're reasonably light. The volume/next/previous button is really cool and clicks really satisfyingly.All in all, they look fantastic, sound great, and fit just fine after some loosening.

Excelentes audifonos, pero muy reducidos en tamaño

No soy experto en audio, pero el sonido es muy bueno al igual que la conexión con el Bluetooth.
Tienen controles para contestar, volumen y cambiar canciones en un costado, lo que lo hace ideal para no sacar el telefono.
Puse 4 estrellas porque son reducidos en tamaño, si bien son ideales para personas con cabezas pequeñas, para otros pueden resultar muy incomodos. Despues de 10 minutos puestos producen dolor de cabeza por la presión de los audifonos.
Lamentablemente y no obstante el buen precio, tendré que devolverlos por la incomodidad.
Actualización. No los devolví, mi novia que tiene cabeza pequeña los utiliza (mas bien se los quedó), les da 5 estrellas porq el uso que les da, trabajo y de recreación.
Excelente producto (para cabezas pequeñas o algunas medianas. No grandes)

Steal for the price

I bought these headphones as an upgrade from Creative Soundblaster Jam which were my first proper Bluetooth headphones and have served me well over the last nearly 3 years. The only true reason I was looking for an upgrade was the battery life which has, as is natural, somewhat diminished over the last 3 years. The other minor reason was that after almost three long years, I was yearning for a change.
When I started doing my research, the first headphones I came across was the Sennheiser 4.40s but most of the reviews were talking about the sound output not being that great, especially the bass. Besides someone in my friend's circle grabbed a pair of Sennheiser 4.50s at a sale for the same price as the 4.40s and those come with Active Noise Cancellation. So I say 'nay' to the Sennheisers and continued my research.
This is when one of my friends, a quasi-audiophile, introduced me to the Marshall brand (honestly I hadn't even heard about the brand and the first time I saw Marshall Major 3 I thought it was a cheap twist on Marshall Mathers III! I am a Philistine). Anyways, most of the reviews I came across were extremely positive. Interestingly most of the reviewers admitted having received nearly 50 hours of battery life at 50% volume on a single charge. That, along with the no-cost EMI being offered by HDFC at the time was the deal clincher for me and I placed the order.
Received the product on time (Kudos Amazon!) and immediately tested them on. Here's my experience so far:
Build Quality - The minimalist design feels very premium and vintage. The straps are metal instead of plastic and the leather feels genuine (don't know if that is the case though). However, I really wish they had made the hinges sturdier. While they don't bend easily, the look somewhat wiry and that makes me really nervous. I am glad I ordered a hardcase by XCSOURCE together with the headphones. The earcups are also very well built and offer a comfortable feeling.
Sound Quality - I could immediately feel the difference from my previous headphones. Crystal clear sound at just 46% volume. The ear cups do a great job of isolating ambient noise (well, mostly). In fact, I never had to go beyond 50% so far, whereas with the creatives I had to mandatorily cross 70% and still hear all the nearby noises. Note: On day one, the headphones felt a little too bass heavy but with the time that feeling has gone away. I am told that it requires at least a week's usage to "burn in" these headphones, which is probably true because the sound feels a lot smoother these days.
Battery Life - The out-of-the-box manual suggests that you should charge these headphones for at least 6 hours for usage. I didn't really do that and started using it straight away. Now, I use headphones for at least 12 hours a day. Today is the third day of usage but I still didn't see a low battery sign.
Comfort - Here I have a minor complaint. While everything else is just great about these headphones, the clamping I feel is a little too tight. After a few hours of usage, you do start feeling the pressure on your ears. In fact, I had a minor headache after using these over 8 hours time (this wasn't the case with the creatives). However, I am willing to cut some slack on that given that these headphones are still shining new and hopefully, it will adapt itself to my comfort.
Conclusion:
Overall, I feel that these headphones are well worth the price, in fact, perhaps even better than the price and you should go ahead with this.
