Marshall Major III Bluetooth Foldable Headphones – Brown

Product Information

Google Assistant support may be the Marshall Major III Voice’s headline-grabbing feature, but battery life is easily at the top of my list of a feature worth shouting about. These headphones last “up to 60 hours” following a single charge. So long, in fact, that it’s difficult to test this figure while also using them in a remotely normal way. If you can't already tell, we love the Marshall Major III Bluetooth headphones. These cans look fantastic, have a durable build quality, and sound superb whatever your musical genre of choice. I’ve taken the Marshall Major III Voice out on a few runs, too. Since they’re fairly light, these units don’t require a huge amount of headband force to stay in place.

The Marshall Major III Voice are headphones made for Android phones. This presents a welcome change, when tailor-made extras are often designed for iPhones. The Marshall Major III Voice are petite on-ear headphones that sport classic Marshall amp-inspired design and more involved smarts than rival units. Although there aren't some fancier features, such as active noise-cancelling, the Major III benefit by offering exceptional battery life - which is among the best we've come across in a pair of headphones.I’m glad to see Marshall hasn’t used the addition of Google Assistant smarts to dramatically increase the price, especially considering the design of these units isn’t super high-end. You can see the plastic parts that keep the headband together, and they don’t feel the most durable.

The aim with Google Assistant headphones such as this is to get close to what Apple offers with its headphones featuring the H1 or W1 chipsets – but we’re not close to that seamless experience yet. Marshall Major III Voice sound quality – A change in tone makes for a more agreeable and coherent soundWe've spent some serious listening time with the Major III Bluetooth to see if they deserve to sit pride of place on your head. The Google link-up is separate to the standard Bluetooth link-up, and the Google one failed on me a few times. Of course, most of you will only have to pair up a few times, if not once. Presumably, Marshall used its previous mid-range approach to emphasise crunchy guitars. But it also had a tendency to make some vocal sound a little cold or nasal, which doesn’t make for the most engaging listen. Now that’s fixed, and the tuning makes a more coherent whole. These are very solid headphones, with non-fatiguing, easy-going sound.

I didn’t find their wireless performance perfect, though. When heading into busy areas – such as London’s Victoria station – there were occasional blips, and the pairing process is a little more confusing than a standard set of Bluetooth headphones. Marshall is almost a decade into making headphones at this point, and its designs have been refined to a point where they don’t need to change all that much year-to-year. I used the headphones with a couple of phones, and in each I could see the battery level in the notification screen. Being able to leave the house at 40% charge knowing you don’t have to worry about recharging for sometime is wireless headphone bliss.

What does it mean in practice? Well, pressing a little button on the right cup of the Marshall Major III Voice will result in a relay of the message that just arrived on your phone. You can also hold down that same button to talk to your phone’s assistant using the Major’s mic.

These on-ear headphones have fairly small cups and a leather-clad look inspired by Marshall’s line of guitar gear.
