panget lang dyan parang di kinontrol maigi ng Marshall yung paggawa ng mga products..kumuha sila ng isang established manufacturer ng mga headsets at IEMs para i-mass produce yung sa Marshalls..

Urban Ears daw yung gumagawa para sa Marshall. pero for a 2,500 price range for the Minor black earphones, is it worth it?

i havent tried one so di ko pa rin masasabi..pero knowing the urban ears brand at sa experience ko sa mga headphones at IEMs nila, parang di ko sya makaka-ngiti para sa price range nya..

tama..kung sinu-support mo talaga ang marshall brand bibili ka nito..

just to satisfy my curiousity. binili ko na rin. hahaha!  :-D

3.5 to 4 out of 5 ang review ng mga techies about it.

anyway, i would say the sound is above average, pero let's say di naman sayang for Php 2,500 peso range aesthetic wise. not much bass, treble and mids are just okay. walang noise cancellation. tapos walang volume control. meron forward and backward. but anyway, i would give it a spin. i wish they would come up with a better sound on the next versions of it.
the design is very cool IMO. let's see how durable it is. it comes with a 1 year warranty na rin.  :)

i own a minor black fx, regalo saakin ng gf ko

it's the same with sa minor ang pagkakaiba lang niya is yung volume control specifically made for sa mga ipod, ipad at iphone.

so tunog solid, pati hindi masakit sa tenga kase ear click siya parang walang nasa tenga mo.

Sa durability mukhang sulit na sulit siya gawa sa tela yung wire tapos hindi ka matatakot na mahila.

ang warranty niya is replacement warranty pagnagkaprobema ibalik mo lang with the original packaging at resibo papalitan na nila.

3000 pesos siya doon sa tindahan ng sapatos sa may greenbelt 3 sa harap ng apple store

ooooh....shyte!!! too late. nakabili na ako nung minor black lang eh, sayang. anyway, i like it so far. ayoko lang gamitin sa gym at baka pawisan yung fabric cord at mag amoy ewan. hehehe. Php 500 lang pala difference. deym! how do you find the audio plug so far? ninenerbyos ako sa haba eh. it looks cool kasi it does look like a miniature guitar plug. binibiro nga ako dahil sa knob design ng headphone. para daw ako si frankenstein. hehehe.

two things

-happens after the burn-in/break in process. continous usage will put the drivers in its right place thus resulting in optimized sound output. in short, pag bagong bili ang earphones/IEMs, wala pa sa porma yung drivers. first time usage will be quite unbearable lalo na sa mga audiophiles dyan dahil kapansin pansin yung muddiness, low bass response, etc..after a while, gumaganda na yung tunog. pumoporma na kasi yung pyesa.

-the persons ears adapted the sound coming from the IEM

first experience ko nyan sa A4tech in ears. pagbili ko nangiwi ako kasi tunog lata. after an hour of non stop music, umayos yung tunog.

i believe in these theories and i apply them to all the IEMs and earphones i purchased. i got a freeware that i use to break in/burn in the phones.

update! so far the sound is still OK. i think it sounded better pa nga.

only problem now is the cap that covers the small speaker came off. bad trip! let see if the warranty covers it.

update regarding the Marshall Minor Black. so i bought this one on Jan 2012. the sound really is still as good as i first got it. only problem is the cap came off. so i went to Salonga Music store in cubao to see what can we do about it and if it's covered by warranty. anyway, the box of Marshall explicitly says with 1-year warranty and i remember asking the staff about it and i do remember them agreeing na meron nga. so here i go and stated my case to them. sabi sa akin ng staff dun at tinanong niya pa yung in-charge siguro sa may cashier na i need to pay 500 Php daw at isesend daw nila sa supplier nila pwera pa daw ang parts replacement (parts replacement? for an earphone?) cost. so sabi ko, wala pang 1 year ito at sabi mismo sa box ng  item na may warranty. ang sabi ng staff eh hindi raw applicable ang warranty sa kanila kasi daw hindi raw dinadaanan ng kuryente (wow, so ano dumadaloy sa earphones ko? tubig?) katulad ng mga amp at audio- electronic equipments. at ang sabi pa, sa ibang bansa lang daw applicable ang warranty. i find it difficult to believe na magbebenta ka ng product sa pinas na hindi mago-honor ng warranty lalo pa at major brand pa ang kine-carry. digital walker honors warranties that are set by the manufacturers of headsets and earphones. 1-2 years pa nga. so why what kind of excuse is that? so wala ako nagawa i just put back the cap and put a small amount of glue on it para magamit ko naman.

the real problem now arise when the left channel of the earphone suddenly went out. the only way to make it work is to wiggle or hold the cord near the plug and both channels will work. ok na sana yung cap lang kaso nawawala na tunog eh. pero since yung encounter ko with Salonga Music store (which is owned by JB Music). nakakadismaya lang na bumalik. so for a 2500 earphones that you expect to work for a year, eto, paperweight na lang.

i emailed marshall support regarding the problem. surprisingly, they replied the same day. i stated my case and they asked me for further info like the proof of purchase, the issue and my address. they asked for a code from the box but unfortunately wala naman. but then sabi sa akin ng marshall support hindi naman daw issue yun. i still qualify for their warranty. they are just requiring me to send the deffective earphone through standard shipping (they don't prefer UPS, Fedex and the likes due to the fact that it will be sent to a PO Box) in British Columbia, Canada. so here it is, next week i'll be sending the earphone to canada and see how this will go.

i agree with you RedWinG... nakakadismaya nga yan.
and then it all boils down to the fact na ibabalik mo din pala yang product mo, overseas to have it fixed.

Now, it seems like, it is better to buy foreign products online & ask about international warranty.
Since, hindi din pala covered ng local distributors ang mga warranties niyan...maigi pa din na ikaw na lang lahat.

This also made me think, that upon buying items for our local distributors, it is better to have a documented warranty agreement between the buyer and the store stating all the agreed terms, para sa claiming of warranties, e walang magiging problema.
Question na lang is, in lieu ba ito sa consumer rights natin?
or pwede din tayo mag-reklamo sa consumer rights department?
another question, is this department really reliable when it comes to consumer complains?
kasi parang wala namang nag-rereklamo, or wala gaanong issue na ganito, na kaya ako hindi ko din matandaan kung ano talaga pangalan ng consumer rights group natin.

hmmm...

in addition, para pala hindi OT...
aren't marshall headsets just new gadgets that make them seem to be trying out or branching out?
coz it looks like Vox is also following up with their own

BR & God bless

I tried the major one, masakit sa tenga at di ko trip yung tunog. Mid high and little bass.
Went for a Shure Srh 440 instead, pilas nga lang agad yung foam dahil sa pawis.

Sinabak ko sa araw ba naman eh pang studio lang sya.
Sound wise sulit sya.

Major lesson i learned is buy gadgets and accessories from the right store. JB is a music store with sometimes vague warranties when it comes to little stuff.

anyway, i sent my earphones last friday. let's see what happens.
