However it does have a few cons. The term “Major” in the name is pretty useless, when you consider the fact that the Marshall Major White headphones wouldn’t be much comfortable for people with big heads, as the headphone is pretty small sized. One other con is the irritation caused by the leather ear cups if you use it for long hours. It would be warm and irritating soon.
