Marshall Major V review: Iconic design, impressive battery
Rating: 3.5 / 5 'I wanna rock-n-roll all night, and party every day,' these words by Kiss prove to be the motto for Marshall's new Major V headphones that promise to go on for days and nights. Marshall has been a popular brand amongst both artists and music lovers for years. Major V is the latest iteration in the company's iconic headphone lineup. These box-shaped compact headphones carry forward Marshall's iconic rock ' n ' roll-inspired design language while promising 100+ hours of wireless playtime. The fifth generation of Marshall's Major headphones series also comes with improvements over its predecessor, like a longer battery life. But in a market flooded with mid-range audio options, can the Major V compensate for its Rs 14,000 price tag? We spent weeks putting these on-ear headphones through various everyday scenarios, and here's what we found. Design From the very first look, the Major V shows the familiar Marshall aesthetic with the black vinyl texture, the iconic script logo, and the metal accents that scream rock 'n' roll heritage. The squarish earcups connect to the headband with a wire and metal accents, which can be pulled to adjust the size of the headphones to fit different head sizes. The power button, as well as the 3.5 mm audio and USB-C charging ports, are placed on the right cup while the left one holds the customisable M-button. At just 186g, the Major V headphones feel lightweight, and the on-ear fit feels snug. During a Delhi Metro ride, the headphones didn't feel very bulky and we were able to wear them easily for a few hours, without any hiccup. The earcups have a leather touch and feel soft on the ears. However, after 2-3 hours of constant usage, we noticed signs of fatigue, which is not a deal breaker, as it is common with most headphones. After a 3-hour-long GTA Online session with friends, the ear pads began pressing uncomfortably. The fabric covering felt pleasant initially, but the clamping force became noticeable as our ears started sweating and aching. The sleek, foldable design of the headphones came in handy during a recent weekend trip as it didn't take up much space in the backpack. These headphones don't come with a carrying pouch, but their rugged build saves them from scratches. Audio Performance and Features The Major V's 40mm dynamic drivers deliver what Marshall calls their "signature sound," and it's immediately recognisable. When we listened to AC/DC's "Thunderstruck," in default settings, the Major V delivered that classic Marshall amplifier rumble with punchy, guitar-focused and rock-oriented audio. In tracks with a lot of electric guitars and vocals, the tuning favours the mids. When we played Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody,' Freddie Mercury's voice came through very clearly, and Brian May's guitar sounded crisp and full of its original tone. The bass is there, but it's not as strong as the mid-range. Kendrick Lamar's 'They're Not Like Us' didn't have the same punch in your chest as bass-heavy headphones may produce. However, we could hear more of the small production details. The headphones' default setup suits genres like rock, folk and vocals more, but may disappoint fans of electronic music who want deeper bass and thumps. The M-button is also a real time-saver in everyday use. We set it to Spotify Tap, so a quick double-press started a new playlist instantly. This feature can be great for changing songs during a workout. The voice assistant feature also worked smoothly with both Google Assistant and Siri, even when there was background noise. The EQ presets on the M-button added useful options. We switched from the default Marshall tone to a balanced setting for Tyla's 'Water', and the headphones offered a better vibe. We also tried the headphones for gaming and found it easy to pinpoint the direction of footsteps. Engine sounds felt more immersive in racing games, and explosions and action scenes stood out during GTA Online. Battery Life and Connectivity The Major V delivers on its claim of over 100 hours of battery life. After days with video calls, music streaming, and GTA Online sessions, we didn't need to recharge them for two straight weeks. The wireless charging option is a nice bonus at this price. Bluetooth connectivity also stayed solid the whole time we tested them. Plus, with LE Audio support, the headphones remain ready for upcoming audio standards and enable Auracast audio sharing capabilities. Charging via USB-C that comes in the box takes about three hours for the battery to fully charge, which feels fair given how big the battery is. Just keep in mind that there's no fast-charge option for these headphones for situations where you need a quick boost before you're leaving the house. Verdict To sum it up, the Major V delivers the familiar Marshall sound in a durable, foldable design that easily lasts over 100 hours on a single charge. At Rs 14,000, it's a strong value for rock and guitar fans, with handy extras like a customisable M-button, wireless charging, and future-ready connectivity. While its on-ear fit and focused sound may not suit every audiophile, especially bass or EDM lovers, it's a reliable, long-lasting choice for those who prioritise longer battery life over precision.

Marshall Major V Review: Crisp sound quality, 100+ battery life, but no ANC
Marshall Major V Review: When looking for headphones, I believe the design, comfort, and flexibility to carry around play a huge role alongside the sound quality. Headphones are such devices which are worn for extended periods or kept in a resting position around the neck when they are not being used. But finding such high-quality headphones that provide comfort and good audio quality is not easy to find. Well, Marshall is one such brand which you can rely on for such high requirements. I recently got the opportunity to review the Marshall Major V headphones, which are the company's latest generation headphones. While I prefer using earbuds over headphones, Marshall Major V kept me hooked for the entire two weeks, and I quite literally forgot that I own earbuds as well. From Amazing sound quality, personalisation, to immense comfort, Major V offers everything you need. However, my one disapproval from this headphone is that it misses out on Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) despite being priced at Rs.14999. To know more about these feature-filled headphones, here is a detailed Marshall Major V review. Also read: Google renames Find My Device to Find Hub: What's new, and why Android trackers still need work Marshall Major V has a simplistic and minimalistic design that anyone can instantly like. The earcups have a faux leather finish with Marshall branding, maintaining the brand identity quite smartly. However, I do not prefer heavy branding on my electronic products. The textured leather finish makes it look rugged, and it also feels durable. The padding on the band feels comfortable when kept around the neck. The padding on the earcups is quite thick, providing a perfect fit and comfort. The other parts are made up of plastic. However, the plastic does not feel cheap, and it ensures high-quality material. On the right side of the earcup, you can see a multi-directional control button, a 3.5mm jack, and a USB-C port. On the left side, you get a customisable M-button. Furthermore, the Marshall Major V are quite flexible with its foldable design, and it is also lightweight. Overall, the headphones have a pleasing design, offering comfort and premiumness at the same time. You can easily use the Marshall Major V for hours and use it for extended periods without getting strained. Therefore, for commuting, long listening hours, or finding the right space for the headphones in your bag, the Marshall Major V is a perfect choice. Also read: Sennheiser HD 505 Copper Edition headphones launched in India: Check features, price and more To provide a detailed experience with Marshall Major V, I have divided this section of the review into two parts. The first section will cover its unique features that differentiate the headphone from others. And the second part will discuss the audio quality and sound. You can seamlessly connect the Major V via Marshall app integration to your smartphone or simply connect with Bluetooth on other devices. It also has a 3.5mm headphone jack for wired connectivity. With the app, users can access the equaliser, which has five preset modes and a customisable EQ curve to personalise the sound experience. Therefore, custom features are always welcomed and appreciated, considering the price tag of the Marshall Major V. Another notable feature is the new M-button, which offers customised functionality via the app. The button can be set to activate EQ functions, voice assistant, or open Spotify for music control. The M-button adds another custom feature which works as a shortcut. Another intimate feature is the multi-directional button for play/pause, fast-forward, etc. While headphone comes with different buttons for these functions or different clicking functions, Marshall has simplified this process. One feature that left me wanting more was ANC, as the headphones do not block the environment or background noise, affecting the audio and calling experience. Also read: Nothing wireless headphones listed on SGS Fimko; Possible transparent design expected soon Looking at the sound and audio quality, the Marshall Major V is perfect for audiophiles who prefer crisp audio, dynamic sound, and medium bass. However, with no ANC and smaller earcups, the outside noise could hamper the experience, as I have mentioned above. I listened to a couple of genres using the Marshall Major V, and the headphones provide a pleasing experience with almost all kinds of music. Music like 'Luther' by Kendrick Lamar, 'Anxiety' by Doechii, provided a great vibration, average deep bass and managed to provide high-pitched sounds. However, low beat songs such as 'Sailor Song' by Gigi Pere or 'Blue' by Yung Kai are not very enjoyable due to weak noise isolation. Therefore, it can be said that songs with beats, drums, and music can be enjoyable. It should also be noted that Marshall Major V lacks the bass power; it is decent, but you will miss the energy and excitement. Apart from music, I also used the headphones for watching movies and gaming, the Marshall Major V provided a pleasing sound quality. The vocals, background music, sound effects, and everything were crystal clear and enjoyable. With gaming, I experience a similar experience, from clear footsteps, to thumping gun shots while playing BGMI, the Major V was an absolute hit. The Marshall Major V claims to provide more than 100 hours of battery life, and to my surprise, it exceeds the promises. It is one of the long-lasting headphones I've used this year, and the listening time is simply unmatched by several pricer options available on the market. I have been using the Marshall Major V for about 3 to 4 hours daily, and it has been more than 2 weeks since I last charged the headphones, and I still have 17% percent. However, the longer battery life can also be due to the lack of ANC. The headphone also offers Battery Preservation mode that provides extended listening time, and also a Standby Time setting, which turns off the headphone when not in use, which is quite unique in my opinion. At Rs.14999, the Marshall Major V is an expensive buy considering the headphones lack ANC, offer average deep bass, and the on-ear design with small earcups did not feel ideal at the given price point. However, the audio quality is not compromised as it provides rich sounds with great clarity, offering a pleasing day-to-day experience or for casual use. Its never-ending battery life is commendable, especially with additional battery-saving features. Another likeable feature of Marshall Major V is greater personalisation offers, from EQ settings to the M-button, users can customise their listening preferences, which makes it a hit in my experience. Therefore, if a lack of ANC and deep base is not a problem for you, the Marshall Major V is a great choice if purchased during the sale on e-commerce platforms.
