Verdict

The Marshall Major II Bluetooth is a collapsible on-ear headphone featuring custom-tuned 40mm dynamic drivers that deliver a bass-forward sound signature with a frequency response of 10Hz–20kHz and 64Ω impedance. Key characteristics include its iconic vintage aesthetic, Bluetooth aptX support for high-quality wireless streaming, and an impressive battery life exceeding 30 hours on a single charge. Its main pros are the intuitive gold analog control knob for managing music and calls, a shared 3.5mm socket for dual listening, and a lightweight, portable design. However, common cons include an on-ear fit that can become uncomfortable during long sessions due to clamping force, lack of active noise cancellation, and a somewhat fragile plastic-heavy build quality.
