English amplifier extraordinaire Marshall is back with another pair of headphones: the Major III Bluetooth. As the name suggests, these cans are the third-generation in the largely successful Major headphones lineup.

Fantastic sound quality; Battery life that goes on for days; Design that resembles Marshall's iconic amplifiers

Not a huge amount; A carry case would be nice but otherwise we can't think of many faults

Marshall's line of on-ear Major headphones have been the company's most popular model over the years, and now the third generation Major III is about to hit stores in both wired and Bluetooth versions for $80 (£80, $AU100) and $150 (£130, $AU 200) respectively.

Marshall has been pumping out a steady flow of quality audio products designed in the style of the brand's iconic amps, and its new Major III Bluetooth headphones are no exception. The $150 wireless headphones are an update to the Major II Bluetooth released in 2016, with new drivers and a slight change to the physical design. Audio quality is strong, with full, round bass depth and crisp highs. And if you like the Marshall design aesthetic, you're sure to be happy. However, there are several strong options in this price range, including Marshall's own Mid Bluetooth, our Editors' Choice.

Sound quality is poor for all but mp3; No carry case or pouch; No volume control on remote
