Speakers and headphones Marshall: the sound of the new products of the old company
Devices / / December 19, 2019
The British company Marshall has nearly 60 years pleases us with excellent sound. Of its amplifiers sounded riffs Randy Rhoads, Lemmy, Jimi Hendrix, Dave Mustaine, and many other well-known guitarists.
All that makes Marshall, certainly looks cool and sounds appropriately. No matter what it is - a concert office or small amp in the beginner guitarist. Classic "vinyl" body tissue grid, gold-plated tumblers with nothing to confuse.
In 2010, Marshall took up the production of headphones, speakers, and even a smartphone released. One. It just so happened that I got just three cool things: column Marshall Stockwell, wireless headphones Monitor Bluetooth and intracanal Mode. I listen to and share experiences.
Column Marshall Stockwell
Marshall Stockwell is the smallest in the range, it weighs just 1.2 kg. It is convenient to take with you on trips or outings with friends. Both plays music through Bluetooth, and through 3.5 mm entrance. Employing approximately 25 hours, so that for autonomy can not survive. Moreover, the rear has a USB-port, through which you can recharge your smartphone or tablet.
In this case, Stockwell looks cool - to match different products Marshall. Front speakers covers fabric grille with gold trim, the body is made of a rubberized black plastic. The traditional "vinyl" finish was only on the back.
At the top are golden buttons and "krutilki" to control the frequency and volume. Column looks expensive and unusual. It seems to me, is a great gift. Take note.
Sold separately Case Stand. It is made in the corporate style, inside red velvet - still able to Marshall to do beautiful things. Case not only looks cool, but it also works as a stand with built-in magnets. In this respect, similar to the Smart Cover for the iPad.
Now about the sound. The compact body fit four loudspeakers (two tweeter and woofer two) and a pair of amplifiers class D. Scarce sounds decent, a good bass, leaders do not rattle even at maximum volume. The column is certainly not an audiophile, but ordinary users will be satisfied. Especially that the result can be improved by turning the knobs on top. By adjusting the high and low frequencies, you can customize the sound for different styles of music. I advise you to pay attention to this, because the difference is really noticeable.
In general, a compact, stylish, and the LP column.
Price: 17 999 rubles.

Wireless headphones Marshall Monitor Bluetooth
Marshall Monitor Bluetooth - it's top "ears" in the line, which has recently become wireless. A decision is expected, given that manufacturers one after the other refuse from the audio jack on smartphones. However, if necessary, the bundle includes a cable with a twisted section and the remote control. On both sides it ends with massive gilded 3.5 mm pins.
Headphone design at the same time rock 'n' roll and emphatically discreet. I see them as a musician with boarded sleeves, and a man in a business suit, who appreciates quality sound. Headphones made great, to materials and assembly is no question: the base metal, the arc trimmed kozhzamom. Earpads also trimmed with leather substitutes, they are very soft and have a memory effect.
With Marshall Monitor Bluetooth, you can comfortably listen to music at home or in the office, they are not particularly hot on the head is not crushed. At the same time look good, tight facilitate ears. I went to them in the train Moscow - Voronezh for seven hours. During this time there was no discomfort, listened to both classics and new items.
Management in Marshall Monitor tied at five-way joystick. This is really handy when for all the answers one button, rather than thousands of small buttons on both cups. Incidentally, the last fold, so the headphones can easily fit in any bag or backpack.
From the sound of Marshall Monitor surprised. In my opinion, some of the best in its price range. Headphones will be pleased soft and voluminous bass, there is some no width of the stage. They are quite versatile, suitable for both blues and rock, as well as for the soul, and electronics. There aptX support, so you can listen to music over the air without a loss.
Soundproofing although passive, but at a good level. At high volume surrounding not have to listen to your favorite music, and the subway are comfortable with them.
Well, the most interesting: Marshall Monitor work about 30 hours! The result is that it is necessary for the wireless headphones, few can boast such.
Without exaggeration I can call them the best headphones Marshall. They not only look good, but sound decent. I advise everyone who wants to cool wireless headphones closed type in the price range up to 15 thousand rubles.
Price: 14 990 rubles.

Wired headphones Marshall Mode
And finally the crumbs Marshall Mode. I'm not a fan of in-ear monitor, in this regard, I prefer AirPods. Yes, and audio jacks for them not to be found in the iPhone. But try them was interesting, so I stuck in Note 8 and listen to a few days.
In terms of design in the "gag" not clear, so Marshall has taken the path of minimalism and strict style. Headphones are made of black plastic, the impression of robust and monolithic gizmos. Nice to sit in your ears, though, as already mentioned above, can not stand the "gag". Whatever ear pads or tried, they still fall. And yet 3.5mm plug was an ordinary, not gilded. It's a shame, though, considering the price, it is excusable.
Sound headphones soundly, but only where there is pronounced bass. Low and mid-range frequencies worked as it should, but fail high. They are well revealed some hard rock, rap and hip-hop. By the way, these headphones are supplied with your smartphone Marshall. Good gift.
If your smartphone audio jack and still have a great need available headphones - note the Marshall Mode. This stylish "gag" on every day. Their sturdy construction, durable cable and a decent sound with emphasis on bass.
Price: 2990 rubles.
