MARSHALL

I told you about the new Marshall headphones a few weeks ago and thanks to the lovely Marie over at Oona, I had the chance to test them out last week.

So, are they good? Yes, definitely. If you need a new pair of headphones, I strongly suggest you to consider these. The sound is good, the fit (although a bit snug) is very good - good noise cancellation + it sits on your head and doesn't move (one of the problems I have with my current headphones is that they've loosened way too much). Oh and did I mention they look FANTASTIC? Yes. Understated, simple, black/white/gold. Perfect.



About 15cm of the cord is twisted so it can still stretch out a little. This seems like a minor 'design' feature, but it's actually very handy: the cord isn't too long (bending over/turning with a long cord can prove to be very difficult when you're not trying to hang yourself) but it's still long enough stretched out if you need it to be.






Folds to a little bundle - very handy if you don't want your headphones to fill half of you're bag when you're taking them with you.

MUSIC TO MY EARS

If you follow me on twitter, you'd already know I'm such a sucker for good music. I can't help it, I just need my music.

Earphones are great, but once you've tried headphones and experienced how much better the listening experience gets, you never want to go back. I've been using a pair of WeSC headphones for the past 2 years now, and as much as I love my bright blue music buddy, after those 2 years of heavy-duty listening sessions, they're not as new as they used to be. I hope they'll still last for a while, but I'll eventually have to look out for a new pair.
I've heard a lot of good things about the Urbanears ones (anyone of you using them?) and yes, I'd love me some coloured headphones again, but I don't know, maybe it's time to get away from the in-your-face colours?

Just recently, Marshall released their own pair of headphones and well, they're looking good! They're very classic & have a retro feel as well.
I don't know if they're any good since I haven't tried them out myself, but Marshall is a pretty established brand in the music business (the Marshall amplifiers are probably the most used amplifiers out there, right?) so I doubt their headphones would be anything less than top quality.

Anyone of you tested these out yet?
They were released last Monday, so if you need some brand spanking new headphones, head over to the Marshall Headphones website!
