You know Marshall guitar amplifiers. If you're a fan of music, you know what Marshall's iconic amps look like and you have definitely heard them. The company is so much a part of music history that it's surprising that they only recently launched a line of headphones.…

Gimmicks aside, these headphones deliver great, distortion-free sound.

"I'll admit I picked up these headphones mostly because of their looks, but I trusted the Marshall brand to provide something with at least acceptable audio quality. These headphones deliver on style, but fall somewhat short on audio quality and functionality.

Ease to use; Good build quality; Looks good; Strange low battery warning

Rawk-themed headphones have been popping up more and more lately—we recently had the Motörheadphones Motörizer storm into our labs, and now we have the Marshall Monitor. At $200, the Monitor is a classy homage to the legendary guitar amps. But it's more than just a cool-looking headphone pair—it also offers powerful, distortion-free audio, and the ability to remove a filter if you prefer your sound brighter rather than warmer. It's hard to find many flaws with the exceedingly comfortable, solid performance of the Marshall Monitor, so we've awarded it our Editors' Choice. In the $200 headphone realm, it's a stand-out option worthy of your attention. DesignFrom a design standpoint, the Marshall Monitor($120.00 at Amazon) is a solid product. Unlike recent rock-inspired headphones that were lacking in this department (we're looking at you, Motörheadphones Motörizer), Marshall gets the important things right—the headphones not only sound good, but feel good. Visually, the headphones ...

The Marshall Monitor headphone pair is a victory of style, for sure, but there's also plenty of substance here in the form of deep, rich bass and crisp highs.

Powerful, clean audio performance with deep bass response; Removable audio filters for personal audio preference?warmer or brighter; Detachable cable has inline remote, microphone, can be attached to either ear cup; Very comfortable design

Inline remote is only single button, can't adjust volume; Light on accessories?no ?-inch adapter included

While we weren't bowled over by Marshall Monitor's sound, we wouldn't kick it out of bed in the morning, either.

Light; detailed upper register; Powerful bass; Cool; ergonomic style; Good noise isolation

Occasional frequency balance issues; Treble might have too much bite for some

When you're in the market for a guitar amplifier, Marshall is probably among the first few names that rolls off the tongue. But when it comes to shopping for a set of headphones, this isn't necessarily the case. In fact, it might be news to you that Marshall is in the business of making cans at all.

Bought about 3 months ago for travel to Uni and overseas. Sounds great and look great, the bluetooth works well. But after about 45minutes they start to get uncomfortable like the ear cups are too small. I have to constantly take them off for a bit as i get headaches and sore ears. Really good if you have small ears, everyone else. Be careful and try them on first for a bit.

Very pleased to have tried for a few days. The sound is very good. Good balance I experience. Looks nice on the head. Scope clearly beyond expectations. The button on the page to change the song etc feels a bit like that. Has not really gotten the feel of it yet. Building quality feels very good.

These are not wireless as advertised - they are the Monitor WIRED version. Returned.
