Well, it looks as if Marshall has gone all in, in the headphones game. After releasing the Marshall Majors and Marshall Minors a bit ago, the classic amp brand has now dropped the Marshall Monitors. The collapsible, over-ear cans, feature a completely detachable double-ended coil cord (complete with mic & remote) that can be plugged into either side of the headphones so you can choose which side you prefer and solid detailing with vinyl leather and brass hinges. They produce deep bass along with natural mids to provide a listening experience that is clear and booming. The Marshall Monitors also come with the F.T.F. system, which allows you to customize the sound to your desired output (either keep the F.T.F. insert in or remove it). Plus, as always, Marshall is just one of those names you ... continue reading

We like vinyl. The sound, the thrill of the hunt, the nostalgia (for a period we weren't alive to enjoy the first time) and the sheer cool factor of it. We're not going to pretend to understand the science of why a unipivot tonearm and an Ortofon moving magnet cartridge are better than the components in the record ... continue reading
