Customer Ratings & Reviews

I must confess that I've never liked on ear headphones. At all. I have always experienced discomfort wearing any brand of on ear headphones so for many years I never even considered buying a pair. Until now. Enter the Marshall Major IV headphones. When I received the package I was taken aback by the size of the box. The packaging is made of recyclable materials so that's a plus in my book. The reason for the small box is that the headphone are foldable and become even more compact. The package contains the headphones, instruction booklet, USB C charging cord and a 3.5mm audio cable that allows you to establish a wired connection or share your music with someone else. Pretty cool when you travel and have a companion. The padding is soft and comfortable, so much so that I have worn them for hours on end and have had no complaints at all. The setup is simple: one button does it all. But the main reason to get them is the sound. For their price they produce more accurate and enjoyable sound than headphones costing 2 times their price or more. I made it a point to listen to a variety of music genres to give a complete review. I found that Rock, Classical, Jazz, Hip Hop, Blues, ETC sounded spot on. I heard some nuances in Classical music that I had previously missed with lesser headphones. Things like the breathing of musicians and tiny background sounds during silences. Amazing. But even if you are satisfied with what I have just described, wait until you hear their party trick. Their battery lasts an incredible 80 hours! I have obviously not worn them for 80 hours straight, but I have used them for several hours each day and ended up charging them because I feared they would end up dead one day, not because I got a low battery warning. I also wanted to try the wireless charging capability, which is also a nifty feature in addition of having an USB C port. While charging the right cup has to come in contact with the wireless charger (not included) and it stayed put without sliding off. I have added a couple of photos to give you an idea of their size, since I am still amazed at the quality of build, sound and battery life. Definitely recommended!

Purchased these headphones for my wife as a Mother's Day present in 2021. Now, 17 months later, they have totally died and will no longer take a charge. I was particularly disappointed with Marshall's response, or lack thereof. My wife takes very good care of her electronics, and there is absolutely no physical damage to the headphones. We tried numerous different chargers and cables - they are simply dead. Next time, we will go with a tried-and-true brand, like Bose or Sony.

My first impressions of these headphones out of the box is that the ear cups are small. They are definitely smaller than most headphones on the market these days. They fit and rest comfortably on my ears though. Build quality is excellent. The headband is flexible yet strong and is wrapped in faux leather that looks and feels like soft leather.. The ear cups themselves are small and to me look like tiny marshal cabinets. :D The padding is soft and squishy, very comfortable and do a great job of isolating sound and keeping music from leaking out ( except at max volumes ). They charge with a USB C cable which is included. They can also be charged wirelessly with the right ear cup. I've uploaded a picture of the ear cup sitting on my wireless charger. it works well, but you do have to balance them properly over the charger. I'm curious to see if they will magnetically attach to the new apple MagSafe charger later. They have a small nub joystick on the right cup that also acts as a power on / off and pairing button. It can activate Siri or Google Assistant and also control volume and skip, rewind and pause tracks. I personally really enjoy the joystick for controls because it prevents any accidental touches or swipes that are inevitable with touch controls. Sound Quality : Impressive! Considering their small size and on ear fit.. they sound very good. I'd say they are well balanced although to my ears highs seem to come in at a slightly higher volume. Bass sounds good and doesn't drown out everything else. The Highs seem to come in louder than Mids , but I usually prefer music tuned that way. Music remains clear with a nice hint of bass. Mids are still noticeable without sounding muddy. I tested them with a variety of music genres and everything sounded great to me. For some reason the Marshall Bluetooth app on my iPhone could not recognize these headphones yet so I wasn't able to play with the EQ settings. Hopefully they will update the app later on. When using these headphones to watch videos , Movies and TV shows there was no noticeable audio lag to me. I enjoyed watching a couple shows and a movie with them. Voices are loud and clear while keeping the action and music well balanced. Battery life is excellent, after fully charging them out of the box.. I have used them for a few hours each day for the last three days and have not had to plug them back in yet. If you prefer on ear headphones over buds or over the ear headphones, then I think you will be happy with this headset. They have a beautiful classic design, sound quality is very good and battery life is excellent. The wireless charging feature is a nice touch although I still prefer to plug my devices in.

Marshall Major IV compared to earlier generation offers comfort with its form fitting square shaped ear cups. Ear cups are made of textured black vinyl or leatherette and comes only in one color(black). It offers great comfort, wireless charging capabilities on a over the head headphones with 80 hours of playback. This headset is advertised as 20Hz to 20kHZ frequency response range, 44mm drivers and so it sounds really good. Bass on this headphone is good but may not be very good for audiophiles but is decent and competes with other high end manufacturers. Sounds very close to Bose headphone without the active noise cancellation feature. Pairing is very easy, just turn on for the first time, blue light blinks and it detects the headphone on your mobile or computer. If you need to pair to another device, just press and hold the gold control knob center button for few seconds and it enters the pairing mode. This headset is advertised at 80+hours of wireless playtime and has Bluetooth 5.0 tech. Also, 15 minute quick charge will get 15 hours of playtime which is a great improvement compared to earlier generation. Wireless charging is supported for this headset which is a great feature where very few over the head headphones are available in the market. Just fold the headphones and place the right ear down on the Qi charger(not included) for wireless charging. Since, I have Qi charger lying around my home in all rooms, wireless charging is a great added feature. It also supports wired charging using USB C cable for fast quick charging compared to micro USB on previous gen. Control knob or joystick on the right ear is a very handy and has multiple controls on one button. This multi directional joy stick is used to power on/off, pairing, volume control, rewind or forward functions. Just press and hold the center button to power on/off, double click and hold enters into pairing mode, swiping left or right skips to next song, up and down for increasing or decreasing volume. This joystick control is very intuitive and preferred for ease of use compared to touch controls that is available on Bose or Sony headphones. What’s in the box: Headset, 3.5mm coiled cable, USB-C cable for charging, manuals. Bottom line: This is a nice headset for the unique features like wireless charging, 80+hours of battery that it offers for the affordable price. Only caveat is this headset has no active noise cancellation but for the price it’s acceptable.

These are a very good value for the price point IF they fit the category youre looking at. The Marshal headphones have been a big hit in the past and the Majors are still a real contender. These are fantastic small, lightweight headphones, great for the commuting or travel. These headphones have a very small footprint, with their folding design allowing them to essentiall roll into a tight package. While the do not have swiveling ear cups, their design itself allows for easy packing away in a pocket or bag. The sound quality is excellent for the size of these headphones. While these are an on ear style headphone, the square ear cups provides a decent seal, allowing for some passive noise canceling,and preserving the sound signature of the music. These have a bass and mid forward sound, however there isnt a huge drop in vocal clarity. The balance is on par with apples line of Beats headphones, but with a little bit higher quality on the upper end. They sound clean and do not distort at high volumes. The single button controls are also incredibly simple to use and paired with the 80 hour listening (which isnt a lie, they lasted 81 actually) makes these a great bag companion. They do still come with an aux chord as well despite their wireless connectivity. Overall, these are a fantastic travel set of headphones. The slight disrcepencies come from some of the design choices which may affect some users. The small earcups for instances pressure slightly on my head, however they sit very comfortably on my partners. If your have large ears or a large head definitely try them on before purchasing.

The Marshall Major IV Wireless On-Ear Headphones deliver clear, full audio, comfortable wear, and an impressive 80-hour battery life. Users highlight their lightweight feel, classic look, and dependable performance for everyday listening

These are the absolute worst. Stay far away from these. Wish I could return these

I was looking for a non-noise cancelling bluetooth headphones option. These are easy to use, comfortable, lightweight, and easily adjustable. I also like that I can control the volume and song advancement with the button right on the headset. In addition, they're pretty cool looking. I have yet to run out of battery, and they work with wireless charging!

I have a pair of headphones, but ordered these because the were refurbished, "excellent condition" and I had $10 off coupon which made them only $79. However, it was not in excellent condition at all. Visually & mechanically, it was in excellent condition & functioned fine,but the electronics did not. The gold knob that controls it was broken and the manual & charger were missing. (Not disclosed) The headset sounds great which is why I gave it four stars and I don't know if it's broken due to quality or user maltreatment. I also liked the design of how the fit mechanism works & the sound. They fit perfectly when I first got them. I've only used them twice and now they are slipping off my head. I do have a small head, so I believe they probably fit the average person very well. Just one minor con, when they fit snuggly because the material on the ear pads is not breathable which makes them very warm and will make most ears sweat. Especially men who tend to be warmer than women. I stated it " may be a minor con" because the ear pad piece easily twists off. If I kept them, I would look for a replacement or cut off the material and glue my own on to them. I hope this was helpful. Honestly, I don't know if I would truly recommend this item, but there is no maybe.

My first impression after unboxing these headphones were that the ear pieces looked smaller than most the over the ear style headphones, however after putting them on I quickly realized that they are by far one of the most comfortable pairs of headphones in this style that I've worn. Pairing the device with my phone was super easy and required no instructions. Hit pair, search via phone, sync. Easy as 1,2,3. The sound quality is really good too, I listened to a variety of music to see the range these headphones had and was rather impressed with the quality, the bass tones are awesome with these headphones and the treble is crisp. The toggle on the headphone to pause, resume, turn the volume up and down, skip and rewind the songs is a nice feature as well. All in all, pretty straight forward pair of headphones that sync easily while providing top notch sound.

These headphones live up to the description. Battery life is superb and sound is amazing for headphones smaller than average. You will find so much versatility in this item. It supports wired and wireless charging. Also you're able to listen wirelessly and wired-in. As a bonus you can share music to the headphones next to you. Could I really ask for more? Bigger ear cuffs? Water resistance/proof? A case? NFC pairing? All these things are great, but not necessary for me. This product is the closest thing you'll get as far as buying your last pair of over-ear wirless headphones.

I love these headphones, the sound is amazing and music just sounds better and I use them everyday for work and leisure. I also like to give them as gifts to my family, they also love them! The battery lasts forever and the design is so cool and comfortable. Overall I love them!!

@ $98 (TotalTech price) you cannot beat these. People say theyre not loud enough and they don’t come with a case. Id say they’re plenty loud and you can get a quality case on Amazon for about $12. The sound quality is as good as you’ll find, and the 80 hour battery life is top-notch. Keeper!!!

My ears were hurt'n after a 4 hour flight wearing some Sony OE headphones, so I needed a change. Saw these on sale and the reviews on them were solid and decided to give it a try and man..... These are simply awesome! The sound is clear and crisp, with solid base without being overwhelming. Super lightweight, great battery life, loud enough to be ANC for me, and are not uncomfortable for me to wear long hours. The single control is nice and easy to use. The on and off sound is just drip, just a small detail I really like about these. I didn't even realize that these are wireless charging so that's a bonus for me. Only thing from keeping these perfect for me is, they don't take phone calls, but who cares, that's not why I got them. And lastly, they don't break the bank. I highly recommend these to anyone looking for reasonably priced , great quality, comfortable headphones.

If you want some style with your high quality audio headphones. Marshall Major 4 is the way to go. Lots of really nice textured leather like material that you see on all the Marshall products. Very comfortable on the ears and more compact than you would expect given the days of battery life and booming bass you get. And YES, they last for DAYS between charging!! It's only been 3 days for me of many listening sessions and still showing 70% on the Bluetooth of my phone. And if you want bass from your headphones. These have it. For me the audio had plenty of bass and sounded great without having to push the volume past 50%, if that makes sense to those who really like it loud. And while these are "on ear" headphones. The sound stayed mostly in your ears with minimal leak as to not disturb those near by. While I do wish there was a bag or case to hold the headphones and the 2 included cables(USB A to USB C charge cable and 3.5 to 3.5 audio cable). The headphones do have handy little hook built in to keep them ultra compact when folded up. Sadly I don't have a Qi charging pad yet. But these are able to charge wirelessly if you have the Qi pad. Overall: Marshall style. Battery for days! Comfortable. Compact. Great bass response. Microphones for calls and assistant ready.

This is the first set of on-ear headphones that I have used in many years. I typically use over the ear as my preference, but the Marshall Major IV's did not disappoint. Pros: - The sound quality was top-notch. I haven't heard music sound this good in a long time. It made me want to close my eyes and just enjoy every note. - The volume/skip button is designed nicely. With many headphones I find myself searching for control buttons and trying to remember what to do to adjust volume, skip tracks, etc. This one is easy to find and there is a nice and soft click you feel as you tick the volume up and down or skip a track. - Adjusting for head size is super easy. Love the design in the sliders. - 80 hours of battery life is unheard up, especially considering how small these headphones are. - Can connect via bluetooth or with the included aux cable. Cons: - No case is included. I would be nervous about tossing these into a backpack if you are on the go. The box they come in is small enough to keep them in if you are traveling, but not too convenient or fancy. I definitely recommend finding a case option to keep these from being crushed or twisted. I definitely recommend these headphones. They have a good price point and the sound/build quality is terrific.

These headphones are phenomenal! I got them about a week ago and I have been non-stop using them! The sound is super crisp and the bass roars without being overpowering. The battery life on these headphones is amazing, I haven’t needed to charge them since taking them out of the box. I like how light weight they feel on my head and the soft cushion ear pads feel super comfortable on my ears; i can wear the headphones for many hours and my ears don’t hurt. The only thing I would say is a con is that the headphones don’t come with a pouch or case to protect them. But for $150, these headphones and the quality of them, from the sound to the build quality, are so worth the price!

This an excellent headphones for listening to acoustic string music with not to much Base. This is a delicate precision too that can easily get overwhelmed by heavy base or bad equalization. I find that it can easily distort, the woofer can easily loose their composure with certain songs. Best to enjoy it at lower volumes so you can really enjoy the separation in all the instruments and the natural reproducir of sounds, as long as you don't push it too hard, they will sound amazing. Beyond the good sound quality, these are fashion statement, they look good, and they feel good to own them, to decorate a book case, they are beautiful. Last but not least, comfort, I can ware this for hours and it won't bother me. The folk song drivin' On by Robert Knife Gang sounds amazing. So, good sound, good comfort and good looks.

the sound quality is great, they're lightweight, and don't hurt your ears after long use.

If you know anything about Marshall products, you know they build high quality products and invest in them. Bought out of the box/refurbished, works like a charm. Super light weight and the audio quality is crisp. I would definitely buy again, even if they were worth 3 times more than I purchased it for. And did I mention the battery life longevity?? I’ve used it at work for over 2 weeks on a single charge and hasn’t even depleted halfway through!
