The design is (as always and everywhere) a matter of taste. If you like retro guitar amp optics, which the Marshall Major is very much. Exceptionally the look is definitely and positively contrasts of the deplorable beats-makers from. At first glance, the sound seems great. The bass strong, the middle a little cautious and the altitudes with sufficient presence. But that bring affordable headset models even better sound, you realize in a direct comparison. My prime example here is the Philips SHL3300 (35 euros, at head-fi.org dubbed as "the most underrated headphone"). The Marshall revealed in A / B testing as bass-heavy. The sound stage is very compressed at the center, almost everything takes place in the mind and not the left and right of it from. The Philips can convince the bass punch as well - without, however, to cover other frequencies. The stage presence is much wider and airy and provides bottom line the more convincing sound.
