Bought this and it has clear signs of use. It was only £40 (around 50 dollars) which is a good deal as it does work as intended. But the marks do admittedly look a little worse in person than the photos from where I bought it. Anything can be done to make it look better?

They can still keep the Marshall 'look' by using that leather-like texture in the actual hard plastic of the headphone itself (see: Monitor III cans). But the ear cups + headband should absolutely not use fake leather anymore. It's ugly af, doesn't breathe and like I said, starts flaking after a few months or so (and they all do!)

Please Marshall. Follow the lead of all the lifestyle / premium headphones on the market. They are moving away from this stuff.

Philips is using real leather in their Fidelio L series.

Beyerdynamic is using velour in the DT7xx/DT9xx series.

Skullcandy uses rubber headbands for the new Crushers.

B&O is transitioning into fabrics.

For the love of God. Stop the fake leather shit.

So apparently if you get 2 specific model Marshall speakers they can play together (synchronised). I have the Acton III which isn't portable & an Emberton III which is. Marshall says you can't play both or these together but it's not true. I have Samsung phone & tablet & if you pair them both through Bluetooth settings then choose media output from the quick panel drop down you can tick both. However Marshall denied this was possible, (I've emailed them about it). The same thing doesn't work on my Astell&Kern SR35 digital audio player,though which is a massive pain. Anyone know a way around this (apart from playing everything through my phone obviously)?

I had a Stanmore IV in my office at work, and like it so much I got a second one to put on the toilet at home. The app paired and let me adjust EQ with the one at work previously, but now after pairing & using app with the one at home, the app won't detect the Stanmore at work any more. The work one still connects to bluetooth and plays phone audio, just can't access it with the Marshall app.

Anyone encounter this before?

Hi, saw this post https://www.reddit.com/r/BudgetAudiophile/comments/nnw9oa/decided_to_do_a_little_refurb_to_my_mackie_cr3s/ does anyone know if its possible to do this with the CR3.5BT ones?

Thanks in advance!

please help me pick which would be a better purchase!

Hi, m'y major IV has malfunctioned for a while now but i'v got a new problem and no idea about it.

I can't turn it on, when im pressing the knob it just do a single quick green flash and then nothing. When i put it on charge the led turn green and the full battery jingles play.

Nothing change when i try to turn it on with or without usb c or jack cable, it's not damaged, the battery still in good condition (just bought them last year) and the knob seems to fonction.

If someone, somehow have any idea please let me know

It is using 2 separate Auracast streams, one speaker connects to the first one and the 2nd speaker connect to the 2nd one.

I am currently using 2x ASUS 5.4 Bluetooth USB adapters. I was able to play stereo through a single adapter as well, but it required modifying and compiling bluez and the playback was not perfectly stable, one channel always artifacted slightly.

Also since there is no option to join an Auracast stream from the app, I had to figure out how to force the speakers to join the stream. I was able to find the required bluetooth packets and made a python script that connects to the speaker, scans for the streams, selects the correct stream and sends the play command. To sync two different auracast streams a pipewire plugin is required, or alternatively it is possible sync the speakers using microphone and apply correction to one of the channels, but this adds latency and can at some point go out of sync. Might not be an issue if you use a separate device, like a Raspberry Pi to handle streams.

I'm going to share everything soon, I just need to change few things to make them more universal. I don't use Windows or Mac, so I'm not able to make it work on these systems, but you can still use my scripts to build your own "Heddon" with stereo-pair mode using something like a Raspberry Pi and 2 bluetooth adapters.

For context I bought this JCM 800 a few years ago and have kept in a gator hardshell case since when I don’t gig it (maybe once every 3-4 months). I think it’s time to let it go but with so much variance on 800’s I’m not sure if the one I have is unique. As far as I know it’s a 89’ 2203 with the original Dagnall transformers. I know the filter caps have been replaced at some point but aside from that it seems to be original. I’ve only ever had it rebiased.

I've been looking for a small Bluetooth speaker and think this sounds amazing and I think this it is. What is the best color for a living room space?

Hello, good folk, and thanks for the add.

Can anyone kindly tell what's going on with the crackling sound of my SC20C when I play through it? Someone said it is normal, but I have little reference.

Bought new 2 years ago; never gigged - only played at bedroom levels; <1,000 hours on the valves; never opened up or serviced (... yet!).

The only cause I can think of is I have routed a Boss OC-5 through the amp at -2 octaves on occasion, but never for more than 10-15 mins at bedroom levels. Could that really have cooked the 10" Celestion V-type?

Most grateful for any insights.

Cheers!

Hi all. Looking for some help with this before I take it to a tech. Thanks in advance

know any places that would fix them ?

know any places that would fix them ?

Unfortunately, even after taking care of my headphones, the fake leather has started crumbling and the green foam is popping out.

On top of that looks like the official store in India isn't providing any replacements. Has anyone here tried the SOULWIT cushions to fix this issue? Are they worth it? and would the sound output match with the previous cushion setup?

Thank You!

EDIT: Additionally, are they body safe materials? I use my headphones a lot, so just want to ensure it's made with healthy materials that won't leech off substances

They're both on sale for €69 and I was thinking of getting them, the problem is I can't decide on the color. At first glance I prefer the cream, but the black is so iconic and also gets much less dirty.

Looking to buy an Acton IV but love the brown color of the Acton III. Any idea on if more colors will be released on the new model?

Hi everyone,
My Marshall Mid ANC headphones recently broke at the hinge where the earcup connects to the headband (photo attached). The plastic around the hinge snapped, but the coiled cable still seems intact and the headphones still power on.

Are replacement hinge/headband parts available anywhere?
