Marshall Major V | Buy or Skip?!

The Marshall Major V mixes retro looks with modern tech. These super rugged folding headphones are extremely compact and deliver a very neutral sound that still has plenty of punch. In addition to boosting battery life to 100+ hours of playback and offering fast wireless charging, you also have the convenience of physical controls for that more tactile experience. But are these worth the money?

I’ve been using these retro-looking rugged and very compact folding headphones for the past few weeks to help you decide if they’re worth $149.

The Major Vs are marketed as a folding pair of headphones that are instantly recognizable for their retro styling. You have all the latest tech with Bluetooth LE and Wireless charging, but it's combined with tactile controls and textured black vinyl that gives you all the bells and whistles you’d expect from a high-end pair of headphones, but in a more practical form factor that you can take basically anywhere with you.

What do you think? Would you Buy or Skip? 🎸🤘

god these look so sick! and honestly? against the XM5s, that are like 300+, probably would go with these if the comfort and sound is there - seems like they are. love the clips for travel! and the physical button is so much better than the touch feature on the XM5, which always seems to get messed up in the rain

[mianorman]

I kinda love these! Marshall knows sound too - and the physical buttons? It’s a need 😊

[Machetetheclown]

These headphones are incredible. I own a pair, and on a single charge, the battery lasts me several months. I am a pretty heavy listener too.

[SASU_Z]

Definitely worth it, I, ve own Major IV for about two years now, battery is amazing, comfortable and stylish. I used them for the gym so yes they are durable.

After using the early Marshall headphones for over 10 years, I got the Marshall Major V. They are just brilliant. Good controllable sound, easy handling, compact storage.

I collect on-ear headphones and, without a doubt, Marshall Major IV is the most comfortable one i own (over Sony, Soundcore, Edifier, JBL on ear-headphones). With that being said, it is disappointing that the Major IV has no app to customize EQ compared to the others. So the Major V having an app is a great upgrade to the Major IV.

i bought the major 4 back in black friday of 2021, i got left xtremely and i mean xtremely happy with them, from the day i bough them i am using them for at least 7h every day, and i mean everyday for anything. The battery for sure is the strongest feature, after 3 years iam still going 2 weeks without a single charge, and again, everyday for 7h minimum. Sound is great, style is great, comfortability is great, build quality is great. For sure iam going for the major 5 especially if they drop like 20 bucks/euros like the major 4 did.

I had the IVs for three years and they were amazing. Definitely getting these

[rohitorange]

I have Major 4 and like them a lot. I am thinking of buying Major 5. Is there enough of a sound quality improvement over Major 4?

[fubumaruda]

I upgraded from Major 3's which I had for almost 5 years. The earcuffs are way more comfortable, but the button feels more flimsy and plastic. I click it accidentally instead of doing any other action way too often. The m-button is actively making them worse. It's useless, it's in the place of the knob from previous models, to make sure veterans accidentally reach for it out of habit. It's has no functionality outside of playing a random song on spotify. It didn't have to be a button, but spotify is getting desperate. Lack of color options is not enticing either. I think those may be the last marshall majors ever if they tank badly

[Stargazerxx]

I wonder how much difference there is between them and Major IV’s because these are $50 cheaper for me

[nostradamusk]

so u did the earphone review without talking about the sound quality ... god job (sarcasm)

[Captain_Of_A_Starship]

Love this headphone type as they are harder to snap when sleeping

[BlotterWizard]

i LOVE my Major IV's 100% best headphones ive tried.

[SaurabhAgrawal]

I just got mine delivered, they are awesome

[j.u.i.c.e]

i got major 4 right after it came on market and i was considering if i should buy major 5 or not. major 5 whites design is so pretty. and what do you think should i buy major 5 or keep major 4s?

[thesturmovik]

wait you can clip the folded headphones ?

[GeoffKirby]

Im getting these for my Birthday on Sunday, I can't wait to use them whist editing on my MBP!

[Funkteon]

Not sure why Marshall won't comply with the industry standard of putting the cable connector on the left hand side. And switching the gold joystick/selector from left to right was a terrible move for people who have years of muscle memory with it on the left.
