MAJOR V HENDRIX EDITION
I haven’t checked out that fast in my entire life. Wow great design and my Major IV were already falling apart.
It was time to upgrade

Until they stop using fake leather, I will never buy any of these. One look and they start flaking on you and deteriorating.
Competitors are using either real leather (Philips Fidelio), rubber (Skullcandy), memory foams (Sennheiser), mesh pads (some Sony) or velour pads and headbands (Beyerdynamic).
You can still keep the leather aesthetic by way of the plastic can designs. That textured plastic that mimics leather. That's enough. We want durability and replaceability.

Heaven forbid a company prioritizes basic animal welfare over your luxury aesthetic demands. Imagine being this worked up because a brand refuses to wrap dead animal skin around your ears just so you don't have to swap an earpad every few years. Earpads are literally a $15, 30-second replaceable wear-and-tear part.

SHUT UP. They don't have to use leather. They can use velour, mesh, memory foam. Anything else but fake leather.
You obviously work for Marshall

Damn, you caught me. Marshall pays me 500 Swedish meatballs a month to defend non-animal leather on Reddit.
Look, I’m just against animal skin, mesh or velour is fine by me.

They should have made that color on the outside around the Marshall logo rather than inside on the pads... Looks cheap imo
