Verdict

The Marshall Major III Bluetooth is a collapsible on-ear headphone featuring custom-tuned 40mm dynamic drivers that deliver a frequency response of 20Hz–20kHz with 32Ω impedance and 97dB sensitivity. It stands out for its iconic retro aesthetic and robust 30+ hour battery life on a single charge via Micro-USB. Key characteristics include Bluetooth aptX support for high-quality wireless streaming, a 3.5mm socket for audio sharing or passive wired use, and a multi-directional control knob for managing playback and calls. Main pros are its lightweight, portable design, intuitive physical controls, and a sound signature that emphasizes crisp highs and punchy bass, making it ideal for rock music. However, it lacks Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and NFC, and the tight on-ear clamping force may cause physical discomfort during long listening sessions.
