Xlnt all around, better (louder) than any earbuds I've tried including over the ear jbl's, which were my fav before this. Holds well, doesn't slip, yet no uncomfortable.

Been on the fence was more of a “accessories” buy but was very surprised by the sound quality I’ve read they where not noise canceling but was surprised at how much sound it actually blocked out.

Overall its exactly as advertised. Light, on ear, great battery, portable, and has a somewhat adjustable sound profile. I am impressed and have recommended them to a friend.

The Marshall Major V headphones offer high end quality sound at a middle of the road price in a small lightweight headset. Naturally, sound quality is often a very subjective matter of personal taste, but to me the sound seems to be every bit as good as headphones and earbuds I own costing twice as much. The bass and percussion you can almost feel while the mid and high frequencies come in crisp and clear, even at lower volumes. I’m guessing that to keep the price down, Marshall chose to leave out Noise Cancellation. Honestly that might be the only negative I can think of with these headphones and only a concern if you need that feature. If that’s a consideration, Marshall does offer noise cancellation in some of their other headphones and earbuds.
Physically, the Marshall Major V headphones feature a kind of retro style borrowed from their well-known guitar amplifiers. Initially from the photos, I was a little worried about the wire fit adjusters, but they seem sturdy and perform well. The headphones are super lightweight and fully collapsible, perfect for stowing away in a travel bag or backpack. The padded ear cushions are very soft and comfortable on the ears, although I do notice some slight ear discomfort in prolonged use from the light clamping pressure common with most on-ear headphones. Personally worth mentioning, I do find the same to be true with almost all headphones and including some earbuds.
To get the most from your Major V headphones, you will need to download an app for your smartphone, namely the highly rated Marshall Bluetooth music app. Through the app you can perform firmware updates, adjust sound with a 5-band equalizer, and customize buttons on the headphones. The equalizer offers 5 presets or you are given the option to create your own preset. I find “mid reduction” best suited for my listening tastes.
The operation of the headphones is quite simple, thanks to a small gold “joystick” that on one axis adusts the volume up and down, and on the other axis change music tracks to previous or next song. Pressing the button in pauses music. A second “M” button on the opposite earcup can be programmed to activate Spotify Tap, switch between two equalizer presets, or activate Voice Assistant. The range of the Bluetooth connection is incredible…I never once experienced any kind of dropout as I moved throughout the entire house and backyard. Even more ncredible is the battery life. I’ve used the headphones off and on for five days and after the initial charge, battery life is still at 96%! I have every reason to believe that 100 hours of listening is certainly believable. Lastly, Marshall includes a semi-coiled extension cord that I plan to use with my bass guitar amp and stereo receiver that don’t have Bluetooth.
Overall, I am quite pleased with the Marshall Major V headphones and where it matters most, the sound quality is right up there with the best. As small and lightweight as they are, they seem rugged enough for everyday use.
