Marshall Monitor Headphones Great Design and Sound

Verified Purchase:Yes
Like an audiophile, I’ve tried a bunch of good headphones. Unlike an audiophile, I usually can’t tell the sound difference between most of them.
I am always trying to find the best fit for my needs. So, when my current pair of Klipsch headphones that I’ve only had for a little over a year became damaged, I knew it was time for a new set. Unfortunately, Klipsch had stopped selling the set I’d have come to love over the past year. So, I had to invest some time looking for a new set.
After checking Amazon and reading review after review, I finally narrowed down the choices to a few great looking headphones. I set out to my local music shop and Best Buy to see if they had these on display.
One thing that’s extremely important to me is design. I know the sound should be first on my priority list, but having great build quality is also right up at the top of my list. You can have the best sounding headphones, but if they are going to fall apart in a few months, what’s the point?
Leading into my hands-on testing, I narrowed the search to just one model – The Marshall Monitors.
Marshall has been making amps for years. So, seeing the Marshall name, I immediately associated it with quality. I tried them on and went through the list of music types they had on the display and thought, “Wow, the sound is great!” I’m a huge Klipsch fan and was really sort of disappointed that I could not find a good set of them. As I stood there playing the music, I forgot about how big of fan I was because the Marshall Monitors just blew me away. The build quality is great and made out of metal, not plastic. The sound was strong, punchy and so very clear even to me, who is hard of hearing. I found them to be just what I wanted.
The Marshall Monitors have a detachable cable so if you want your cable dangling from the left or right side, you have that choice and if it ever gets damaged, it’s easy to replace. Being the cord is what got damaged on my last set of headphones, this was a big plus for me.
Because of the 3.5mm socket that can be switched from either side you are able to use the extra 3.5mm socket to share your music with someone sitting next to you.
In addition to the detachable cable, the Marshall Monitors also features over-ear construction, a collapsible frame for easy travel and a carrying pouch with “Marshall” embossed on it. There is also a mic and remote on the cable to allow you to use the Monitors with your mobile phone.
Marshall designed the Monitor’s Headphones with embossed white script logo and black vinyl leather, evoking the spirit of the legendary vintage amps. You can fold the Marshall Monitor’s up and place them in a very sturdy canvas bag that comes with the Monitors’s for travel. These are truly my goto headphones, anywhere I take my laptop my headphones follow.
One other feature I really want to point out is the F.T.F system. The Monitor comes equipped with an F.T.F insert behind the removable ear cushion. The F.T.F system provides a laid-back sound while taking the F.T.F system out, gives a brighter, more crisp sound. I found this a great added bonus to headphones that already provided a great listening experience.
I highly recommend the Marshall Monitors if you are looking for a good set of headphones. The superior construction, easy transportation and even the leather padded headband is slick looking. Plus, the sound quality is beyond compare.

Simplify your everyday life with the Google Home, a voice-activated speaker powered by the Google Assistant. Use voice commands to enjoy music, get answers from Google and manage everyday tasks. Google Home is compatible with Android and iOS operating systems, and can control compatible smart devices such as Chromecast or Nest."
Will Google Home work with ECOBEE Thermostat?
No. Unfortunately, Google has limited functionality to only the Nest thermostat. At this time, I don't see them opening up support for third parties as they are probably trying to push it with their own hardware, but that could always change.
