Marshall Major V Bluetooth Wireless Headphones, 100 Hours playtime - Black

Marshalls headphones are amazing! However, there is an issue with the charge point on the set I received in that the USB cable just won't connect properly and leads to the unit not charging. I had to force the cable in for it to charge and even then it has been temperamental.Away from this they are great headphones. The sound quality is amazing - if you download the app you can use the headphones with an equalizer (not sure if it makes much difference to the sound and could do with a bit of improving). Like vesrion IV, the battery life is phenomenal.The mic quality differs per set. During phone calls people weren't able to hear me clearly on my previous set, however, there is no issue with this current set, and I come through clearly. So maybe something to watch out for.As always functionality is nice and simple, easy to use, and they look great. I think these headphones are good value for money. It is just unfortunate that I seem to have received a dud pair in relation to the charging port.However, this set will need to be replaced with ones that function correctly as the issue with the charge point will probably get worse over time.As I've had Marshall's headphones before I know he quality is usually superb, I just think this one slipped through the quality control net - and apart from the charging issue everything is top tip. So I'll give it a 5.

As a 20 years plus user of Marshall amps as a guitarist, I was admittedly a little sceptical that these on ear headphones wouldn’t cut it. What do I know though? The professionals in all-things-sound have pulled a master stroke with the Major series. Haven’t used the earlier models so I can’t speak for them but the depth and breadth of the soundstage from these mid-range cans are phenomenal at this price. The app is a bonus too and I’ve set the ‘M’ button for EQ swaps, (Spotify? a very odd and anti-audiophile collab here if I’m honest, Marshall) great for a boost when listening to older stuff that wasn’t mastered at the volumes and clarity commonplace nowadays. Thumping bass which punches your eardrums even at lower db and with proper signalling, no distortion either. Gorgeous, crisp trebles too and clear mids. These Major Vs are my absolute new favourite thing. Mainly use with IOS & Jet or Foobar, depending on levels of replay gain required but these Major Vs really do come through with fabulous sound, lovely fit, and of course, their retro design. Wireless charging, brilliant, 100hrs play apparently, what’s not to love? Oh, cable connected to the Mrs’ Bose headphones with no issue… not that that’s going to happen often! Great purchase, and very, very happy with these headphones! Music is so important… listen.

This is my 2nd pair of Major IV headphones.My first pair purchase approximately 4 years ago are still going strong but are showing their age now with wear and tear.I have total confidence in the build quality and reliability of these headphones and at half the price of the first set it was a no brainer to purchase them again. Tremendous value for money.Sound quality is amazing. The battery lasts an incredible amount of time.Connectivity is brilliant.Superb.

I’ll admit it took me a few hours of listening for my ears to get used to these, sound-wise, but now I love them and they’re the best headphones Ive owned so far (but bear in mind they’re also the most expensive ones Ive ever owned so I was getting what I paid for before probably)I had to do some serious adjusting of the equaliser to get more bass and less treble. At first I was slightly disappointed with the sound, but after some fiddling about with the settings in the app and letting my ears adjust, I love them. If I had gotten the Major IVs and couldn’t use the app, I don’t think I’d like them so much and might have returned them. I’m used to very deep bass headphones and the bass on these is on the higher end (punchy and very powerful but not super deep).I have attached a photo of the equaliser settings that work best for me and suit all my genres. Rock, heavy metal, pop, techno, everything really. These sound particularly good with dance and techno, the bass is crazy powerful. When I listened to ‘I’m an Albatraoz’ (If you know you know) I laughed at how good it sounded. I ended up redownloading a ton of songs I had previously got bored of and I fell in love with them again, hearing sounds in them I hadn’t noticed before.They are pretty comfortable and fit my very small head well. I have had to return countless headphones because they would just slip off my head or look ridiculously big on me. They do get a little sore on the ears after a while but not as badly as any other headphones Ive owned.I noticed a lot of people complaining that they didn’t like the little joystick button on the side for changing volume and skipping track, but its one of the best parts about them for me, I absolutely love it and it’s so easy to use compared to other headphones I’ve had. Can’t get my head around why some people don’t like it. Also I love the button on the other ear that you can choose a function for, like switching between equaliser settings.The sound leakage isn’t as bad as I expected, and I don’t miss the noise cancelling.Finally, the turning on and off sounds are great. I get a fright with the usual ‘power on’ voices with other headphones, but these just play a guitar riff instead. Love that. Notes going up for on, notes going down for off.In conclusion, definitely worth the money, but I would opt for paying extra for the Major Vs so you can use the app to adjust the equaliser settings as they make a world of difference.
