Marshall Headphones M-ACCS-00152 Monitor Headphones, Black

Here is the deal with these headphones. They are the best u can get for the $100-400 price range. At this price u have to be a fool not to buy them. They sound better than the Bose, better than the Beats and better than almost any headphone u compare it too. The sound is different. Marshall sounds like you went to a small club with about 50 people and heard a live band with a excellent sound system. When listening to music you hear every instrument so much clearer than ever before. The best way to describe it is the music sounds real not computerized. Beats u get great bass but very little treble. Bose u get the complete opposite. Bose need to realize people like bass in their music as well. But the Marshall has this rumble bass that's great. And you can still hear the treble. The build quality is totally there. The design and look is incredible. The best part is no one is really rocking them b/c their trying to be kool with the beats. But Marshall blows them all away. And with them being around for so long their not going to just put out junk to make money. I really do wonder if dr dre uses his own headphones since they are made for the masses.But Marshall headphones have one big flaw. They are very comfortable. The ear ups are to small. I have them And really like them and I'm incredibly happy that they sound better than earphones double to triple their price. But I can't listen to them more than 30 mins b/c the ear cups are to small. I spend so much time trying to adjust the ear to a comfortable position. But when the cups are too small no amount of adjusting will help. So now I'm forced to give them to my wife. And purchase another brand until Marshall realizes their mistake. Why make earphones so small? Just a little bigger and they would be perfect. And no I do not have big ears. If u have small ears then go for these. You will save a ton of money and have some of the best earphones on the market.EditI have just recently returned from Best Buy. After having my earphones for a couple days I wanted to compare them again to Bose and Beats. I was shocked at just how much better Marshall was. Marshall is years ahead of them both. Music with the Marshall sound very authentic and real. Its the difference between eating home cooking or a chain restaurant. I also realized that although the ear cups are small my left ear sticks out farther than my right which caused discomfort with the earphones. I had the same slight discomfort in the same ear when wearing Beats. So you just have buy them and try it out. As a side note I just noticed the other day that although these headphones are not noise canceling with a person talking right next right to me with the headphones on I can't hear a thing their saying. The cupping nature of the headphones must have something to do with this. And no I am not blasting the music it's just that the headphones really block out extra sound. Also don't listen to those reviewers saying the build quality is suspect because it's great! I constantly throw them in my backpack with not case and they just keep ticking.

Tried about 6 different headphones and these came out on top for me. Had to return them and get the monitor 2 because i didnt realize these were not bluetooth, but i plugged them into an old ipod and the sound quality is the best ive found. Theyre very cool looking, and they are comfortable even after 6 straight hours of wearing them. They get very loud and the battery life was great! Also love that they fit snugly against your skull vs other bulky goofy looking headphones. Another cool feature is the ear cups are held onto the headphones with magnets so you can take them off to clean them and pop them right back on. And when not in use, i kept them on my neck and the earcups fold inward so they sit flat against your chest instead of just being bulky and hanging there. The only difference between these and the monitor 2 is that the monitor 2 are wireless using bluetooth to connect to my phone. If you dont mind the wire, grab these for sure

I first saw these at Best Buy and was instantly hooked on the look. I already had a nice set of headphones, but had to have these. To be honest, I am not an expert by any means in headphone design or sound other than my own experience, but here are my thoughts as an extremely satisfied casual buyer:Design: As stated before, the look of these is incredible, no flashy/obnoxious colors or logos, just the classic Marshall logo and look. These are solidly built and easily adjustable. The cord is sturdy and I really like having the coiled section that keeps the headphones from being yanked off if I move around and forget to unplug. The cups fit snugly and are very comfortable for short and long term use. The only negative I have for design is the carry case. It is fabric with drawstrings, keeping in mind the carry case provided is not wimpy by any means, it will last, but a hard protective case would be preferred.Sound: The headphones come with a removable filter that gives you 2 sound options. With the filter in, it has a softer slightly dampened sound. I actually use this option when listening to audio books. Gives it a nice calmer feel. For music I take the filter out for more detailed sound. The headphones are not noise canceling but I have no complaints about their ability to block sound out.By the way, I keep these locked in my safe so my teenage son doesn't steal them, he has a pair of Beats but is constantly looking for these. He is currently deciding if he wants a pair for Christmas.
