Monitor Black USD199

ERGONOMIC OVER-EAR DESIGN

Monitor’s slender over-ear construction delivers superior noise isolation without the bulk, staying light on your ears

Monitor embodies the power and strength that is Marshall in a headphone, with hi-fi prowess and studio quality sound. The F.T.F. system allows for sound customisation and the extra 3.5 mm socket lets you share your music.

Monitor’s slender over-ear construction delivers superior noise isolation without the bulk, staying light on your ears – all in addition to its classic Marshall good looks.

When you’re done, fold ‘em up and stow them away in the canvas carrying pouch.

SOLID MARSHALL DESIGN

Monitor is embossed with a white script logo and black vinyl leather, evoking the spirit of those legendary vintage amps, while the heavy-duty cast metal hinges, brass accents and plug make it full-out roadworthy.

ALL-ENCOMPASSING SOUND

Resonating with the power of live performance, Monitor produces deep bass with extended highs and natural, well-balanced mids. Its custom-made low distortion 40 mm drivers cover the whole frequency range audible to the human ear. Even at high playback levels the sound is punchy, dynamic and clear.

F.T.F. SYSTEM FOR CUSTOMISED SOUND

Sound is personal. Monitor lets you chose your own sound experience thanks to the F.T.F. System, located behind the removable ear cushions. Keep them in for a sound that’s laidback and warm. To really hear those screaming highs, remove the magnetic ear cushions and take the F.T.F inserts out. The sound you’ll experience will be brighter and clearer. How you like it is up to you.

CARRYING POUCH

Monitor comes with a canvas-carrying pouch. When you’re done using your headphones, fold ‘em up and stow them away for easy transport and safe storage.

"Hands down the best headphones I have owned. Great bass. Exceptional overall sound. Good build"

"They sound So good that two of my close friends went ahead and bought them after hearing mine!"

"Favourite headphones ever, hard to beat a pair of these."

Easily the best headphones I've ever had on my head. The sound from the monitor headphones is so crisp and really satisfying bass. I wear these for long periods while working and the comfort is always there even after many hours. Great customer service too from the support team. Will be a repeat customer when the time comes, no question.

"Shockingly Amazing"

Never would I think my Sennheiser's would get a run for their money. Or my Audio-Technica M50x. Or my Beyerdynamic 990. Oh yes. Think natural, hard hitting, dynamic with no Harmonic Distortion. That's what the Marshall Monitors deliver. I am one of the crazy obsessive that believes in headphone burn-in. The audiophile art of playing music for 48 hours or so to get even better sound. I've witnessed it too many times. Well these are no exception to that rule. 2 days now and every instrument is cleanly represented. Every vocal spews mids to die for. Clean esoteric sound, no mud here. Lastly, to top it off, they look so darn good on my head! Yes V-MODA, I'm looking at you.

"Marshall says it all!!!!!"

Awesome, best headphones I had in my life.

— Oz March 15, 2017

"Good value for a durable product."

I previously owned Bose QC15 headphones, they had good sound quality but the ear cushions disintegrated (& batteries were necessary). I have had the Monitor headphones for about 2 years now, amazing (in my opinion better) sound quality for a fraction of the price, it is worth noting that I bought them when there was an extremely good sale and I believe the price was less; no batteries necessary with these. The only issues I have had are the ear cushion leather starting to come off & the pivots have become less stiff (if you could call that an issue). Other than that, anything you can think of is positive. I would highly recommend these headphones.

"Great product. Highly recommend! "

I never thought I'd find a set of headphones that fit me so well. I tried these on and was blown away. Then I listened to them and I was sold.

— Hector Medina January 16, 2017

"BUY IT!"

Great value for your money. Awesome sound. Tough build and design. Inferior materials. Comfortable wearing.

— Clart December 23, 2016

"High dollar sound in an affordable package. "

Hands down the best headphones I have owned. Great bass. Exceptional overall sound. Good build. I have traveled alot with these and they've lasted several years now (granted I treat them like a small child).

Only issue is the cord. Could be slightly more durable in construction and volume adjustors would be nice, but by no means let that deter you from buying these headphones.

"Hands down better then any other headphones I have ever used!!"

They sound So good that two of my close friends went ahead and bought them after hearing mine!

— Andrew Rasmussen December 5, 2016

"Top buy for me"

My best buy, wether I play my piano or organ or enjoy listening to my favo music this is my way of submerging and get of this world. No disturbing noices, just you an your music and for a very reasonable price.

"Speechless"

The best headphone I ever used. Heads down.

"Best Christmas Present Ever."

I got these headphones for Christmas last year. They beat out Bose 10-1. Just unbelievable sound.

— Bri Bri 22 November 26, 2016

"I cant put 6 stars but I want to"

Excellent or just good?

Good, I'm seriously that headphones are really good, but....
untill you turn the music on. From this case that phones becomes awesome. I've never heard that amazing quality of sound for that price.
Good job Marshall! Keep going! Do your best!

— Ncode November 25, 2016

"Bang for the bucks"

Sturdy build for everyday use. Truest sound I've heard. I will choose Marshall over the other headphones with uncontrollable bass parties. :)

"Extremely Good Headphones with Fantastic Sound Quality! "

I brought them last week and all I can say is that they are very, very good and they don't just looks fantastic and Rock'n'Roll but they sound fantastic too!

— Sammy Hauguth May 2, 2016

"Best headphones on the market! "

I think I bought these in the summer of 2013, now almost the summer of 2016 and I'm still as impressed with the sound quality as day one! Can't go wrong, look good and very dependable!

— Paz April 19, 2016

"Fantastic"

Two years of everyday use and still as good as new. The sound is clean across genres. The double-ended coil cord still works beautifully (no frayed wires). Used everyday in harsh weather conditions ( ranging -40C to +40C ) and a variety of altitudes with no issues whatsoever. Thanks for a solid product, Marshall!

— AZ March 9, 2016

"Love from the first touch"
