Verdict

The Marshall Major V is a compact, foldable on-ear headphone featuring 40mm dynamic drivers that deliver a 20 Hz – 20 kHz frequency range with a signature rock-inspired sound profile. Its standout characteristic is a class-leading battery life of over 100 hours of wireless playtime, supported by USB-C fast charging (15 minutes for 15 hours of use) and Qi wireless charging. Connectivity is handled via Bluetooth 5.3 with multipoint support and high-quality codecs including AAC and LC3, alongside a versatile 3.5mm jack for wired listening or audio sharing. Main pros include its lightweight 186g rugged design, intuitive brass multidirectional control knob, and customizable 'M' button for Spotify Tap or EQ presets. However, it lacks active noise cancellation (ANC), has no official IP rating for water resistance, and the on-ear design may cause comfort issues due to clamping force during long listening sessions.
