Marshall has long been a company immediately associated with rock and roll thanks to its classic amplifiers, and the music hardware company is relying on the success of that image with the new Marshall Monitor Bluetooth headphones. Styled in a similar manner to Marshall amps, the headphones feature a black and gold color scheme with the iconic Marshall logo emblazoned on both ears.
The Marshall Monitor Bluetooth is the company's first stab at the Bluetooth headphone market, but it is its most serious effort. While earlier models like the Mid and the Major were both on-ear headphones, the Monitor Bluetooth is an over-the-ear headphone that promises superior sound (aided by 40 millimeter drivers.) And with Bluetooth aptX technology, listeners can move up to 30 feet from the music player without any loss of audio quality.
