    I’ve been very happy with these Marshall Major IV headphones. The sound quality is clear with rich bass, the battery life is outstanding, and they’re lightweight and comfortable to wear for long periods. Bluetooth pairing was quick and stable, and the built-in microphone works well for calls. The foldable design also makes them easy to carry. Overall, a great value and an excellent choice for everyday listening.

    Another heavy hitter from Marshall

    Being a guitar player I am naturally drawn to Marshall products. No too long ago Marshall mostly occupied the musician space. With the inception of their excellent bluetooth headphones and speakers, they have tapped into a whole new level of fans. Sporting the classic Marshall logo and design, these headphones definitely have the vintage Marshall look. While the size is smaller than what most other manufacturers are going for with over the ear headphones, the sound is anything but small. I find the sound to be detailed, rich, LOUD, and full of bass given the smaller size. You can actually crank these to 10 and they don’t even break up. I don’t recommend doing that though as they get pretty loud. From guitar amplifiers to headphones, sound is the top thing I look for in any musical device. These headphones have a great balance of lows and highs and are crystal clear making them an all around excellent choice for all types of music. Not only are they a great every day headphone, being smaller and lighter, they would also make great travel headphones. The battery life is rated at 80 hours making this another excellent travel feature. The bluetooth range from these is also excellent and much better than some of my other leading consumer headphones. I can easily leave my phone in the bedroom and walk through several rooms into my garage without a glitch. I think the rating is just over 30 feet, but I feel like they can handle more than that. Bluetooth setup was also very easy and connected on the first try with my Android phone. The comfort level is also good considering the smaller size pads. There is enough padding to make them comfortable for extended periods. I don’t even get much crown fatigue with these since they are a smaller size and lighter weight. There are also some cool optional accessories that you can get including a wireless charging pad. If the charging base and a case were included, I think this would be a full five star package. The package comes with a coiled 3.5mm cable in case you want to plug directly into your source or if you are running low on power. This cable will also allow you to link two Marshall headphones together and share music if you prefer. Also included is a USB-C charging cable. Both cables are high quality and should last a very long time. The one thing I honestly don’t care for is the multi-function button. While the thought of a single button interface is a great idea, I find it is easy to skip tracks forwards and backwards when trying to turn the volume up or down. All functions including powering on/off and bluetooth pairing are performed with this single button. Another thing that I would like to see in a future version is the ability to rotate the drivers so when the headphones are resting around your neck they will lay flat on your chest. Since the size is a little smaller than most headphones, this is a minor complaint. All that said, these headphones (most importantly) sound incredible, they are a welcome smaller size, and they look really, really cool. If I could give them 4.5 stars I would. PROS: Sound is awesome Battery life is awesome Bluetooth range is awesome Size, weight, and styling are awesome CONS: The single button interface can be tricky Would love for the drivers to rotate and lay flat No case

      Hi John, we are sorry to hear that the Major IV weren't a good fit for you. The over-ear models may be better suited to your preferences as they have a bigger earpiece that sits over your ears rather than on them. We hope you will consider Marshall again in the future.

    Affordable stylish headphones w/ Wireless charging

    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.

    Excellent product! The Marshall Major IV is very comfortable and noticeably lighter on the ears, even during long listening sessions. The sound quality is rich and balanced, with strong bass and clear vocals. Battery life is impressive and easily lasts for days without needing a recharge. The build quality feels solid and premium, and the classic Marshall design looks great. Overall, a fantastic pair of headphones that delivers comfort, style, and great performance. Highly recommended.

    Great sound, unique style, simple to use

    Let's start with the sound: Fantastic. It sounds on par with much more expensive headphones. It has a very crisp sound, very neutral. It has plenty of bass but it does not overwhelm the sounds. It faithfully reproduces details that I can barely notice with other headphones. Driven by a 40mm dynamic transducer. Design: It's very unique. These stand out in a good way. The headband is soft with a rich leather texture. The earcups are plush and soft. I can wear these for hours without discomfort. Note however that these are 'over the ear', which means they rest on your ears, not around them like bigger cans. Having well designed cushions makes a big difference here. The outside of the caps are smooth plastic with the Marshall logo embossed in silicone. The headphones fold in making them more compact to carry. They do not fold flat but also they're not very big. They're also very light compared to others. Charging and battery: They're rated for 80 hours, which is incredible. I've been using them all week without recharging them and the phone reports the headphones have over 65% battery left. The connector is USB-C and comes with a long USB-A to USB-C cable. USB-C is so convenient now that it's becoming the norm. And, this is great, also supports Qi wireless charging: Place the right earcup on top of a charging pad and it has a small light that indicates it's charging. Once I unpacked them they came mostly charged, but left them for a while on a portable wireless charger until full. Controls: This is perhaps the most user friendly control I've used on headphones: It has a single tiny rocker button that works like a joystick: Hold it to turn it on and off. Keep holding for pairing. Once connected, press once for play/pause. Push it up or down for volume control Push it left or right for prev/next. Hold it left or right for REV/FF (very few headphones do this). Double click: Phone's assistant. Might sound too much, but no, it's very intuitive. It comes naturally and took no time at all to start using it. To answer and hang up calls, click on the button, or double-click to reject it. There are no apps to install on the phone. It just works, and sounds great. But there is one very nice quirk, I have not seen anywhere else: It has an audio connector on the right earcup. It comes with a long and partly coiled cable that can be connected to a computer or other audio source like an amp with headphones output, and this works well. The headphones can be used without using it's battery (like traditional wired headphones), which can be a life saver in some cases. Recently had to use them with a computer by just plugging them in. The really nice quirk is that while listening to music via Bluetooth, can connect any other wired headphones to these to share the audio, like when you want to share a song with someone near you that has wired headphones. Not sure how much I'll use this personally but it's nice to have. Note that there wired cable has no mic nor phone controls, and that's OK. (There are 3rd party cables that could do that). It has no ANC, but the earcups cover up normal household noise just fine. There is a single mic on the right earcup to take phone calls or use the phone's assistant (Siri or Google). Nothing special here but it works just fine. Overall I'm very impressed how well they sound and convenience like the best controls (to me) in a headphone, they're light, ridiculously long battery life, wireless charging, they're light and they look just great.

    Light weight, comfortable small footprint. Power on and pairs blue tooth instantly with my Samsung S20+ Android listening to Pandora awesome sound and clarity and still be able to hear other people in the room clearly. Wireless charging works perfectly on any flat charging pad. Also pairs blue tooth instantly with my desktop pc and all our TV'S I prefer using blue tooth connection didn't really try other features but I certainly can recommend for my use. The price I think could be a little less but it is certainly a top performing quality product.

    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.

    Compact travel size, impressive sound

    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.

      I am sorry to hear this. Please note that the headphones will play at the volume that your devices amp will output. This means that typically when listening with a cable that it will be quieter than if you listen with Bluetooth. The Major IV are designed with safe maximum listening levels and clarity in mind, although this can be increased if you have a separate headphone amp or external DAC. It is possible that the impedance is higher on the Major IV than the Sony headphones you are referring to, which means the sound may be quieter in comparison while offering more clarity. I hope this helps. Take care.

    These are my first pair of on ear headphones. I can say im very happy with my choice and have no regrets. What i was looking for was something cheap and lightweight with good battery. Saw these and instantly liked the style. The retro look is just so neat. Timeless design IMO. I read that these could last uo to 100hrs which is NUTS. Wont have to worry about charging my headphones consistently. Their lightweight ans earcups and so plush that i can listen for a good while without discomfort. The sound is amazing for being on-ear. The bass is punchy and clear. The vocals are crystal. Instruments are clear as well. Its a pleasure listening to music with these. Only downside there is (i knew before purchasing) is no noise canceling. The earcups block some sound but not all. Just muffles a little. Still a great purchase for me

    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.

    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.
