Marshall Mode EQ In-Ear Earphones - Black & BrassMarshall Mode EQ In-Ear Earphones - Black & Brass

Arrived promptly and in good packaging. Protected and had no damage.The earphones are packed in a very nice and strong box and held in properly. The drivers are angled every so slightly for those with wierdly shaped canals. They fit perfectly for me with small-medium ear tips.The sound is fantastic; not too bassy and not too strong highs, just about right.They sound fantastic even without burn-in-time.The build of the earphones is very good, sturdy and durable. They are rather large and do take some time fitting perfectly in your ears, but when they do fit, it is comfortable, isolating and very enjoyable.However, there is one gripe I do have with the earphones; since I am using a Nexus 5, I am not able to skip tracks using the in-line controls, which is a downer as I was looking forward to changing songs without having to use the phone. Still, it is not a deal breaker when buying these headphones.Overall. I am very happy. It was cheap, built well, looks very good, sounds wonderful and made by Marshall.Would definitely recommend to a friend.EDIT: 27/01/17 - Everything still works as it did the first day. Would still recommend.

I am an audiophile. The quality of sound is absolutely essential and so I have a number of different ear buds, ear phone & headphones both wired & wireless depending on what I want to do. I've bought so many earphones in the past from expensive to inexpensive but I've never found the right quality in terms of sound & volume reproduction or build quality. I also play guitar (poorly!) so the Marshal brand is front & centre in terms of audio reproduction hence why I went for these £30 wired rest phones. One of the best purchases I've made. The sound quality is incredible. Perfect clarity & wonderful deep base without buzz. And they fit in my ears; they're incredibly comfortable. I am absolutely delighted with these.

I have somewhat mixed feelings about this set of headphones. On the one hand they score very well on sound and build quality, on the other there are one or two questionable design choices that more annoying than you'd think.Pro's– The really do sound great. Probably one of the best sounding pairs of earbud style headphones I have owned, and really stellar for the price. A crisp, clear and relatively flat frequency response throughout (which is what I generally look for).– Very robust build quality. The cable is well insulated, and feels strong. The jack itself is insulated with a brass coil that looks like it will prevent damage for years to come.– The design of the earbuds is distinctive and makes it easy to orient which side is which. Helped by the fact the the microphone is clearly visible on the left side.– The microphone and one-button remote are two separate items on the cable! This is quite a big deal since on the ear buds I've owned and in general it's the one button mic/remote that tends to fail and kill the whole headphones. This is a smart design choice that should really improve their durability and adds to my point about robust build quality.– There's a neat in-built clip on the remote. No more losing terrible detachable ones.– There don't seem to tangle much (or at least are easy to detangle) – this comes at a trade-off though. Some reviewer have said the opposite, you mileage will vary with how you keep them in your pockets.Con's– The clip is rendered pointless by these headphones' awful microphonics (carried sound from rubbing on your clothes). The matt rubbery material really picks up sound from your clothes, especially if you clip them to your shir,t for example. The trade-off being that they don't tangle easily. Especially noticeable with podcasts and spoken word.– The remote is all the way down where the cable splits (see attached image). This is super annoying as it means you can't easily access if your headphone cable is under your clothes (which it pretty much must be to avoid the worst of the microphonics). You have to either pull them up, or undo your coat to access the remote. This confounds the microphonics problem, and especially in winter a real let-down in otherwise excellently designed headphones.– Yes the rubber earbuds themselves are difficult to remove/change. You pretty much only have to do it once though, so its not big a deal.– There's also the 'Mode EQ switch', a gimmick which basically should be ignored, unless you want to listen to a distorted preset EQ sound. I can't imagine what music they thought you'd be listening when they put it in, but it sound abysmal. The good news is you can completely ignore it (as suggested).Would I recommend them? Yes, in the end I would, but with some reservations. If you can live with the aforementioned con's, absolutely get them. These are well built headphones with sound that really does outperform their price point. They will last you a long time (unless you lose them, like I'm prone to do). However, the con's really a daily annoyances that will spoil an otherwise excellent experience.

Fantastic product, looks sleek and sexy with possibly the best sound I've had from in-ear headphones. Comes with a Mic and single button to take calls/change song/ pause or play music and an EQ switch that changes the sound from high quality highs and mids to a deeper bassier sound which works great with rock (makes sense as Marshall are known for their guitar amps). Only criticisms are that a pair of volume buttons wouldn't have gone amiss and although they come standard with small earbuds with the option to interchange with medium, large or XL, the other earbuds are quite difficult to fit on once taken off. I had to resort to flexing some tweezers inside them in order to squeeze them apart enough to fit on, although I don't think these slight nuisances was enough to knock my review down from its 5-star given the quality of the items and how excited I get when I get to walk somewhere with these bad boys in! All-in-all I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for some stylish in ear headphones with microphone and in-line controls.

Terrible tinny sound without any bass. Very surprising and a real disappointment after purchasing a Marshall Bluetooth Speaker (Acton) and being blown away with the sound. These earphones have absolutely no bass at all and the EQ switch makez about 1% difference.The remote also does not have any volume controls so little functionality there too.The Jack looks good and solid with the gold spring but I'm afraid I'll not be testing durability as I can't stand using them, music is painful to listen to. I'll be buying a different pair very soon. So disappointed :-(

Day 1-5 review : Absolute masterpiece!The Mic clarity and the music both are awesome! Cable length is not great but cant complain.

great sound , but microphone went down inside 3 months , expected more from a quality company
