I'm David Carr lightfrom cnet.com and this is the Marshall major - and on your headphone that lists for $119 it costs around a hundred dollars online the major - looks similar to the original major but this new model is significantly improved with a better design and better sound and it's a good value at its price point for starters the ear cups have a more rounded design and the hinges in headband allow for more flexibility and the headphones just fit your head better and are more comfortable to wear the double-ended coil cord has an inline 1 button remote and microphone for cell phone calls and the court is now detachable it has a more durable L plug end on the headphone itself the dual 3.5 millimeter jacks allow you to choose which side you prefer to wear your cable on or you can have a friend jack in and share your music Marshall says the headphones new vinyl finish is more durable and while I can't tell you how these will hold up over time they do look and feel a little more swanky and sturdy than the original the major - also sounds better with improved bass response and increased detail it's a fairly warm forgiving headphone that works well with a variety of music but maintains a decent amount of clarity you sometimes get a little too much bass push in a sub-100 headphone which leads to some muddiness but overall this headphone is pretty well balanced and sounds as good as more expensive headphones we've tested there you have it the Marshall major - a nice upgrade over the original and one of the better on ear headphones for the money I'm David Carr Noy thanks for watching
