So, I received my Marshall Minor's yesterday and have had today to play with them.
First of is the packaging, it is plain yet informative, brief description of contents and a picture.

The earphones themselves are nice to look at and also have a nice woven style cord and guitar amp looking 3.5mm jack which is gold plated. The phones feel light and comfortable once in the ear, they fit a bit different to others, a mix between a canal and standard phone. The sound they produce is superb, clearer than my old sennhieser's and the bass is nice and weighty but at the same time far from feeling overpowered.

I tried a variety of music on them and they are very clean and crisp with sublime mid and highs with the bass adding the lows, very nice sound. The inline mic also works with my iPhone and is clean and noise free.

There are a few bad points I would like to add. The earphones do not come with a case for on the go, but that's not really a down side as I have 2 from sennhieser's and ultimate ears. Also the fit can be a bit tricky to get right and there is no noise isolation.

All in all these are a wonderful set of phones and they will be replacing my ultimate ears super fi 4's.

Highly recommended.

I will add that these earphones are exceptional. I had some issues with the fitment at first but swapped out the medium plug for the large and now I can run along and they stay put, so therefor I will be experiencing even better quality audoi as before as they were ill fitting when writing the above review this morning.


I will also like to add that the included inline mic has other features, 1 click for pause/play, 2 click for next track and 3 click for previous track, also hold it for voice control on an iPhone, very neat feature in my books.

The main thing that is bugging me is the fact they do not come with a case. My Ultimate Ears Super Fi 4 case is too small for the 'large' drivers, and the sennhieser case is just too....soft.

All in all I just cannot get over the fact that these are absolutley fantastic earphones!

If I am honest I had my doubts before buying these knowing who made them (The makers of Skull Candy, Urban-Ears). But with a name like Marshall having so much to show, these earphones are a true example of the Marshall brand name, and they can wear that name very proud.

I would also like to add that finding the right headphones/earphones is like finding the right woman, you can go through many or not a lot until you find the right one. I have found her, her name is Marshall and she is amazing.
