Marshall Unveils New Jimi Hendrix-Inspired Speaker, Headphone & Amp

Experience the Hendrix 60th Anniversary Collection with Marshall’s latest psychedelic speaker, headphones, and amp inspired by the legendary guitarist.

If you’ve ever been swept away by Jimi Hendrix’s boundary-pushing sounds and kaleidoscopic visuals, Marshall’s newest lineup might just make your heart sing. Celebrating the Hendrix 60th Anniversary Collection’s grand finale, Marshall has rolled out three electrifying products that blend cosmic psychedelia with top-tier audio tech: the Major V headphones, Emberton III speaker, and the JMH Studio amplifier. As a longtime fan and an audiophile who’s chased that perfect Hendrix vibe, diving into these feels like revisiting a sonic time capsule — only cooler and with better sound.

A Sonic Trip with the Major V Headphones

First up, the Major V on-ear headphones are a feast for eyes and ears alike. Rocking a rugged, foldable design in sleek black, the standout feature is definitely the purple oil-on-water pattern splashed across the headband and ear cups. If you’re into those swirling, hypnotic visuals synonymous with psychedelic rock, these headphones wear it loud and proud. Add into the mix some trippy graphics and the mystical all-seeing eye motif, and you’ve got a pair of cans that are as much art statement as music device.

What truly wows me is their battery life — Marshall promises multiple days of playback on a single charge. That’s enough juice to journey through Hendrix’s entire studio catalog more than once without hunting for the charger. Whether you’re lounging or on a long commute, these headphones keep the vibe alive.

Emberton III Speaker: Portable Psychedelia

Keeping the purple oil-on-water aesthetic alive, the Emberton III speaker is a portable sound powerhouse wrapped in equally mesmerizing visuals. The all-seeing eye motif can be found engraved in silver on the media jog dial, glowing subtly with purple LEDs that perfectly capture that Hendrix mystique.

What really makes this speaker special is Marshall’s hand-dipped silicone sleeve using water transfer printing. That means no two Emberton IIIs look exactly alike — every swirl and splash of purple is uniquely yours. Plus, the speaker boasts over a full day of playback on a single charge, making it an ideal companion for those impromptu Hendrix listening sessions out in the wild.

JMH Studio Amp: Vintage Vibes, Modern Mobility

Now, here’s where things get truly special for guitarists and collectors alike. The JMH Studio amplifier is a reimagining of Marshall’s classic Studio Vintage amp, now portable but with all the hand-built craftsmanship you expect from their UK factory.

Wrapped in black Tolex, this amp is decked out in a black and purple psychedelic pattern that stretches across the fret and control panel — a subtle nod to Hendrix’s signature style. Silver beading on the knobs, handle, logo, grille, and back panel adds a touch of vintage glam, modeled after Hendrix’s own jewelry style. And topping it all off is that iconic all-seeing eye badge, symbolizing Hendrix’s fascination with the third eye, placed at the stack’s top and bottom for a cosmic touch.

This amp doesn’t just look the part; it carries the spirit of Hendrix’s quest for new sounds, the very thing Janie L. Hendrix, President and CEO of the Hendrix family companies, highlights when she says, “Jimi was always searching for a sound that did not yet exist, pushing beyond what anyone thought an electric guitar could do.” Marshall’s collaboration channels that restless creativity perfectly into a tangible, playable piece of history.
