Marshall Major IV On Ear Bluetooth Headphones, Wireless Earphones, Foldable, 80+ Hours Wireless playtime- Black

Got these today and they're just great !!I never intended to buy a pair of headphones made by Marshall, and was looking for something by Sennheiser, Bose, Audio-Technica, AKG as I wanted something that was a step up in quality from the Sony cans I've been using for a while, but a few factors made me consider them.1. Reduced from £120 to £602. The fact that I know Marshall are world-renowned for decades for making some of the best speakers and amplifiers out there, so if they have decades of experience in making BIG speakers, they were gonna apply that experience and reputation to small speakers on headphones also.3. Loved the brown retro styling, cos everyone else's headphones are black, white, or red. I thought the brown leather looked luxurious, and that was definitely very appealing.They sound great. Very nice detailed sound. They're comfortable to wear, with nice soft pads. They came with charge so I was able to test them right away.Very simple 2 second press of the yellow button for the bluetooth connection , and "Major IV" was on the bluetooth list immediately.Two unexpected surprises that I thought were a very nice touch.1. When you power the headphones on and off, a little 1 second guitar riff is played.2. When making calls, there's a significant reduction in background noise. With my previous cans, my wife used to get unbearable noise levels if I was putting a knife in the cutlery drawer, or making any kind of clinking, jangling sounds, and one of the first things she noticed was that those sounds were minimized, and the call was a lot cleaner sounding, so their must be a quality mic in these also.The only negative is that because the pads press tight on the ears during a call, you can hear the other person perfectly, but you can't hear the higher frequencies of your own voice. You can push a pad off the ear slightly to hear your own voice better, so it's an easy fix.

Slightly uncomfortable as they sit on your ear instead of surrounding them but I have a lot of piercings and that’s the only reason why, not knocking them for this because the sound quality is unreal, fallen back in love with music all over again after listening on less quality systems for the last couple of years, extremely easy to use, I can’t stress how brilliant the quality is

I own quite a few Marshall speakers and I love the look and sound. The previous incarnation of these headphones, the III, had some build quality problems, so I avoided them. Cue me going through many different sets of Bluetooth and wired headphones, some cheap, some not so cheap. Never lasting and not one of them sounding as good as these. Beautiful, detailed sound. Comfortable and with a very solid feel. They're nice and lightweight and have very good connectivity. I hope they last as well as my other Marshall equipment.

First song listened to was ‘Restore my Soul’ by The Choir, an atmospheric spiritual with hard hitting drums, lingering electric guitar, reverb infused vocals. The track recorded with excellent separation between the instruments and vocals, very well produced. The Marshall Major 5 had no problems conveying this track as the artists may have expected let alone myself. The sound is clear using my iPhone 15 and very, very listenable. If this is the Marshall signature then I like Marshall, a lot. Very balanced and if you are coming from Beats headphones these will impress imo. The build quality is excellent with no immediate weakness evident. The Spotify button is off the charts for quick access, instant connection. This can reassigned to EQ and other functions if required via the EQ. The toggle for payback, track choice and call control is also excellent and nicely made. What can I say, just an excellent product for purpose, very happy with my pair and the price is more than fair for these.No regrets.

Okay I've had them for a week now so it's time for a review. I chose them because of the 'retro-ish' design, they really stand out amongst the others. The sound quality is really good, they are light and comfortable to wear even if you have a smaller head like me and are easy to operate. Had no issues with connectivity - please read the paper instructions to pair them up! it's not very intuitive but easy once you know.The price was good because I bought them when they were on sale and I had a gift voucher from my friend. Buying for the full price - I would give it a think and consider other brands or maybe the newer model of this one.One thing I didn't realise is that the Marshall app is not compatible with this particular model somehow. Of course, if you are not a sound enthusiast and all these little adjustments don't matter to you - as I don't normally fine tune the bass or anything else when listening to music - it's okay. But if someone was looking to use this function via the Marshall app - it's a disadvantage, especially at this price point.I used to listen to music via regular airpods and got used to headphones pausing the music/video when I take them off. These are not as smart but the small control knob can actually pause music, take/finish calls and skip music tracks as well but you have to learn how to use it, it's not very obvious from the beginning.The battery is really long lasting, I haven't charged them since I've got them and I've been using them for a couple of days regularly, even took them on a daytrip. They still work and don't require charging.Overall, it's a good pair of headphones, and at the end of the day, Marshall is a brand that has been famous for making good quality professional sound equipment.We'll see how it goes but can't complain so far

Everything is amazing and value for money and the Connectivity is to good and having a lot of amazing features with that button.

Super cool headphones and amazing sound
