- flat cable;

Disadvantages:

JBL on-ear headphones are more suited for gaming than listening to music or talking. But they cannot be worn for a long time: ears and head are squeezed very strongly, causing great discomfort. But if you use them to listen to music, then you will definitely need an equalizer to set the high and low frequencies. I consider the Samsung EO-EG920 Fit model more preferable: it is cheaper, it has a microphone, volume control, it does not hurt my head. Price - ... On the Yandex.

Marshall Major III
Major III is an upgraded model of Major II. The technical characteristics and design were changed, which made high-quality stylish headphones even more convenient to use. The design has become visually more compact due to the narrowing of the headband. The material has not changed: the ear cushions, the headband are finished with eco-leather. There were complaints about older versions: users noted a high density of the filler of soft structural elements. Headphones pressed, created discomfort - it was difficult to withstand even an hour in them. Now with the change of filler in Major III, this feeling does not arise - you can enjoy music for hours on end in absolute comfort. Such a solution to the problem would be useful for the JBL T450, which put a lot of pressure on the head and ears. A feature of the new models is a removable connection cable. All new Marshall models, equipped with a detachable cable, provide the ability to connect the cable separately to each bowl thanks to the second connector.

You will feel excellent sound in this model if you listen to music in high quality, music with low quality bitrate will sound like in cheap headphones. Thanks to the Bass Booster function, the sound is really very deep, even the Marshall Major III did not have such an effect. But I would like, as in Marshall, to have a removable cable, since here it is very short. I did not like the lack of volume control: on the headset there is only 1 button for accepting or resetting a call, which is very inconvenient. Another plus - unlike Marshall and JBL, they do not put pressure on the head and ears, it is very convenient to wear them even for a long time. Price - ... On the Yandex.

Closing the rating are Audio-Technica ATH-M50X full-size headphones - clean balanced sound, solid construction, attractive design and generous package.
