    Source

    Source

Build quality

    Source

Comparisons

Comfortable and quality sound

The Marshall Monitor headphones (version 3) are excellent. They are light, comfortable and provide great audio quality.

I found noise cancellation to be better than my old Bose Quiet Comfort. Also, when connected to multiple devices, the headphones handle very well the device switch based on where audio is being played (which was a common issue with previous Bluetooth headphones)

The only drawbacks are minor: - Lacks a jack connector. An USB C to jack cable (included) is needed, which seems less standard than the common jack cable to connect I to the headphone out of an amp. - Construction materials include a good amount of plastic. So it is unclear how it will wear over time

Best. Headphones. Ever. Period.

When I first put them on, I almost cried. The sound is remarkable. The bass, the surround sound, the outside noise reduction - amazing. Top notch. They are a great fit, really comfortable. The long cable is really well made. BUT. I have used them for over a year now and I admit, I discovered some flaws. For instance - the small cables that go from earmuffs to the headband tend to be really problematic. I have to mess around with them to get any sounds. They aren't visibly broken anywhere, but no sound is quite a problem, when you think about a device for playing sounds. Also, the leather-like material covering the earmuffs is rubbing off over time, but I guess that's common. Though it has some flaws after a year-two, I still recommend them to all my friends and if they completely break, I'm going to buy a second pair. Best purchase of my life. No regrets.

My old dogs

My father bought me these when I was finishing highschool, on our way home after I received a diploma from the national guild audition. I loved them to death and have used them to hell and back. They have completely fallen apart and I really need to get new headphones.
