hi I'm ty Pendlebury from cnet.com and today I'm looking at the Marshall major fx50 headphones while most of the current crop of celebrity-endorsed headphones beats Simon Cowell's exes and so on a voice to sound good with pop and urban music there are very few designed for rock and this is where the Marshalls come in the company has been designing guitar amps for 50 years and these headphones are designed to commemorate that and like Marshall amps these cans are also designed to go to 11 the headphones feature a sturdy build our collapsible and come with a cloth bag for storing them away as far as looks go these wouldn't be Marshall headphones if they didn't include some details from the iconic amplifiers while the Marshall minor earphones look like amp knobs these look like the amps themselves with a gold trim a tweed type cloth on the earpieces and the same vinyl that covers the boxes on the ear band they're just okay comfort wise but you can bend them to fit and they reject noise quite well if you have an iPhone there is a three button remote and mic and the mic will also work with other smartphones the cable also features a coiled section so they can stretch up to twice its length if you need it to stretch to the back of your computer for example sound quality is rocking as you'd expect with a very warm yet detailed sound that really suits heavy music but they're not ham-fisted or overly pumps like beats there is more mid-range than anything else travel detail is a little bit reticent and symbols can be a little bit splashy but they're very well balanced overall compared to the Bowers & Wilkins p3 they're much more exciting and fun and also thirty bucks cheaper if you're looking for a sturdy rock centric pair of headphones that will match your Zildjian t-shirt these are the ones to go for this has been ty Pendlebury for cnet.com
