Marshall Headphones, the audio equipment arm of the famed guitar amplifier maker, has announced a new pair of Bluetooth headphones called Marshall Mid Bluetooth. Mid is Marshall’s second audio cans to cut the cord and the latest to join the ever-growing Marshall headphone family. Billed as a premium Bluetooth headphone, Mid promised to deliver “a robust sound that balances clarity with just the right amount of bass” through 40mm dynamic drivers offering 10Hz-20kHz frequency range while wireless audio transmission quality is guaranteed by Bluetooth aptX technology that has a range of up to 30 feet (about 9 meters).
Aesthetically, the Mid inherited the familiar guitar amp-inspired design language, featuring black leather vinyl, signature Marshall script logo, solid metal hinges and the ever-green and god-knows-why-it-is-so-alluring brass details. There’s, of course, a plush headband to keep this beautiful pair of on-ear cans snuggly on your head without causing discomfort. Though I must admit, on-ear audio cans isn’t quite my cuppa, but I may possibly look past that for the sake of its uber-long battery life which happens to come in at a whopping 30 plus hours per charge – just like the Major II did.
But the juice will still conk out eventually and when it does, there’s always a detachable 3.5mm cord to fall back on if you want to continue using it, or you don’t have access to a charging point. Also, like the Major II, it only has one neat analog control knob – in brass finish, naturally – offering access to music control, volume adjustment, power the headphones on or off, and answer, reject or end a call. Last but not the least, it has not one, but two passive noise reduction mics to enable conversations.
You can find Marshall Mid Bluetooth Headphones on Marshall Headphones website, as well as select stores around the world for $199.
