Verdict

The Marshall Minor series, specifically the latest Minor IV, features a distinctive open-fit design equipped with custom-tuned 12mm dynamic drivers that deliver the brand's signature sound, characterized by crisp highs and balanced mids. Key specifications include over 30 hours of total wireless playtime with the charging case, IPX4 water resistance, and support for Bluetooth LE Audio and wireless charging. Main pros include its iconic textured aesthetic, a compact and pocketable case, and reliable touch controls for calls and music. However, the primary cons are the lack of active noise cancellation (ANC) and a bass response that may feel limited due to the absence of silicone tips for a secure seal, which can also lead to fit issues for some ear shapes.
