My dearly loved Major 3 are dying after 5 years of abuse. The sound is still good, but the cups are busted, the metal is bent, and they're being held together with tape and elastics. It's time to say goodbye, but I don't know if I should buy the Major IV (they're much cheaper now) or invest in these ones here.
I've recently purchased these and I'm quite impressed with the sound. I do like to use wired connection as we all know the sound quality wired is better than Bluetooth - or should be. So here's my problem. Tidal! When you connect these or any BT headphones to the Tidal app up pops a message telling you that Bluetooth compresses the sound quality . .. This is not what I'm paying for with Tidal. So I connected the very thin little supplied headphones cable - no sound!! It turns out that you have to turn the volume up full on both the headphones and your source. For me that's Sony AW45 and my Sony Xperia 10 mobile. It's the only way you can hear anything and I'm not sure that the sound quality with cable is any better.. be interested to hear what others have to say. I must admit the Bluetooth connection is actually rather pleasant to listen to. And the bass definitely there if you need it.
Awesome, glad to hear, and interesting findings. I guess it might come down to the codec? I've primiarly used it with Bluetooth connection, and while I'm no audiophile, it was more than enough for my needs. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Roland, I'm gonna need your advice ! (and whoever read this comment) I've been using Marshall headphones for years, I LOVE the quality sound, but I'm having issues since a few months keeping any headphones on my head for a long period of time. It's not a padding/position issue, it's due to a health problem. SO, I'm looking for wireless earbuds, but I'm totally lost since we can't "try" those (for a good reason.). I saw the Marshall one, but the shape doesn't work for me. I need one with those soft plastic ends you can change to stay lock on your ears. Do you have any recommendation ? I'm currently browsing your YT page for an answer, but since you've tried my current one, I thought I can leave a comment so you can give me your opinion! Thank you so much for your help :) Have a nice day ! (English isn't my first language, so sorry for all the spelling mistakes and everything.)
Hey! If you want to stick with Marshall, the MOTIF II A.N.C. looks pretty good. Otherwise, I'd recommend taking a look at the AirPods Pro 2, Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, Pixel Buds Pro 2 (but keep in mind, none of these are amazing when it comes to sound. They're great for the most part, but set your expectations as they're not for audiophiles). If noise-cancellation is a must-have, then I'd recommend taking a look at the Sony WF-1000XM5 or the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II. Of course, it all comes down to your location, budget, and needs. There are many other great options from HUAWEI, Nothing, JLab, Jabra, Sennheiser, and more. See if you can try them out at your local store, but you most likely won't be able to. See if you can buy them from places like Amazon, or the brand's own site, and see what their return policy is before deciding to try one.
Maybe. However, it becomes thinner as it goes behind the ear, so it doesn't change the fact it's not comfortable for those wearing glasses. Whether it's a thick or a thin one, the pressure pushing it against your head will not make it feel great for long periods.

@@Techusiast the point is a bluetooth does not support high res flac
@@Techusiast if you go have suppressed quality might as well just listen to MP3s.

@@Techusiast thank you so much for your amazing and quick response! Take care 🥰
Is it good for laptop calling? Office work
Type c - c audio will work or not
Your glasses handle ain't the slim ones, i do think it will be more comfortable if it was..
