These are genuinely the best over ear headphones I've ever bought. I haven't wrote a review yet because I said to myself when I first got them, I'd write a review when they start to mess up or if I ever sent them back. Now's the time.
I've had these for a little over 2 years now. They're still going strong.
IN SHORT - Best overall headphones for heavy music enjoyers or everything else, the best battery life I've ever seen, best bass and clear tones, especially for how light weight and small they are. Very aesthetic and look good with any outfit. I love them so much and almost never take them off, my dad calls them my ears because of how much I wear them. Best investment, BUY THEM!!
I listen to all types of music; rock, heavy metal, rap, hip-hop, r&b, pop, indie etc. etc.. these are overall amazing for every genre. Personally, they are the best for r&b and rock/metal.
They have 10/10 bass for how small and light weight they are. Clear sound and not muffled, clear mid tones and the left to right sound is great. These things really pack some power. They can get really, really loud. I never turn the volume all the way up because when they are, they're nearly as loud as a phone speaker.
Battery life is a 1298439/10. These last FOREVER. I wear them almost 8+ hours a day all through my school day. I have only ever had them die on me 5 times in the 2 years I've had them. I honestly think they can last over 80+ hours if you have the volume turned down. I charge them about once a week but, I could go almost 2 full weeks without needing a charge while on mid to high volume.
Charging is easy. The 15 minute charge for 15 hours is a real thing and great for when I forget to charge them and need to run out the door in a time crunch. I can't harp on how amazing the battery life is though. They also have a wireless charge feature I've only used twice. I don't really know if it charges any faster or slower using one but it does work to some extent.
SUPER STURDY. I drop these A LOT. I wear them while roller blading, skating and going to the gym and they've fallen off when I fall and dropped off my head. They've never broke in any physical way and have no real connection issues from it. I think there okay for gym or active use because of how much padding is around your ears so no moisture gets into the speaker or any of the sensitive parts.
Controls are easy with the joystick. I actually wear mine backwards (I explain why further down) and found the controls to be easy to understand. The 'joystick' like control is really cool and I find better than touch control. You don't have to press too hard to change to the next or previous or control volume. I find on touch controlled headphones they get pressed accidently constantly, while this one has never changed anything out of its own accord.
Also with controls is the light indicator. When charging: Red is nearly dead, Yellow is mid battery and Green is near fully charged or fully charged. When they are first turned on a sound plays to let you know and there is a flashing white light until paired. To put them in paring mode: hold down the power on position on the joystick until another sound plays and a flashing blue light comes on, then you can pair with Bluetooth. From there a solid white light stays on to show they are paired and on.
A negative I have about these is the comfort. I have a mid sized head and ears and I found these uncomfortable for even 30 minutes wearing them the right way. (right side on right ear, left ear on left ear) So, I tried them on backwards and found that to be a better solution. I don't know how to explain it the best but they seem to be built at an angle that I assume was supposed to be formed to a normal head shape. I find it puts pressure on the back of my ears. I find it more comfortable to wear them backwards. Only thing with that is the control joystick is backwards (left is next and right is the previous, up is volume down and down is volume up) but these were easy for me to get used to.
Other than that I wear these 8+ hours almost everyday. Naturally with over ear headphones some ear fatigue will occur but with how committed I am to these it's never been a real bother.
The only other downside I've ever had was that they've stalled on me. It's happened about 3 to 5 times in the 2 years I've had them, but I'll be playing a song, they'll freeze, make a really loud sound and cut off completely. I don't understand why this happens because I've just been using them like normal but after they cut off, I turn them back on and they pair and work like normal. It could be from dropping them or something similar but this didn't start until around a year and a half of constant use.
To summarize again. Really really good value for money. I had been looking for over ear headphones for the longest and found a review on these and bought them on sale for $100 but I would pay full price for these any day. My dad is from the 70s and loves his extra loud, bassy music. He bought these and, while he opted for the Skullcandy Crushers, he said these had amazing bass for how small they are, they just weren't suited for his everyday work. Knowing him, If he complemented them on bass, you know these are actually amazing for rather normal people. These are great and I hope you give them a try.
Thank you Marshall for the amazing quality and real joy these have brought me!

Watch Before Buying! Marshall Major IV Headphones Review

Good value for the money
Been using the Major IV for over two-weeks, and it has been really great on the plane, even though these are not Noise Cancelling Headphones. I was able to use these on the plane without any noise distortion while listening to music and also watching a movie. I have also used it on public transportation, again without any issues. The plugged in headphones does not activate the Microphone; therefore, what I have noticed is that the microphone usually only works when the Bluetooth is activated both on the laptop and the mobile devices - perhaps this is only for me, but my assistant of whom I bought the same pair of headphones for also said the same thing. Otherwise, only time will tell on how long these will last. Overall, I enjoy wearing them, and they work well for daily use, even for conference calls. Now, over Zoom, my clients do not ask for me to sit closer to the laptop or to speak louder. A+ for design and portability, A- for sound quality (these are not B&O), but really great for noise reduction. Bought these for half the MSRP, therefore, very happy with the open-box item.

optisch mag ich am liebsten die retroteile. wie den akg k701 in weiß. ich muss zugeben, dass ich manche kopfhörer nur wegen ihres aussehens gekauft habe....
und so kam ich auch zum major iv von marshall. ich bin in letzter zeit viel mit der bahn verreist, und habe festgestellt, dass immer mehr on/over ear kopfhörer genutzt werden, als früher, als alle die in-ear getragen haben. als kopfhörer-fan habe ich dann immer geschaut, welche modelle gerqde getragen werden. viel jbl habe ich da gesehen, manchmal auch airpods max, etc…
aber immer wieder ist mir der marshall major iv aufgefallen, weil mir die optik total gefällt. ich bin eigentlich größere kopfhörer gewohnt, weil fast alle aus meiner sammlung over-ear kopfhörer sind.
ich hatte das glück, dass eine junge frau neben mir im zug einen major iv dabei hatte. wir kamen ins gespräch, und ich durfte die marshalls mal näher betrachten. als erstes ist mir aufgefallen, wie leicht die hörer sind. und klein. und sexy. gehört habe ich sie aber nicht, weil ich meine kopfhörer selbst auch nicht ausleihe. erst recht an keine fremden personen. also habe ich das auch nicht verlangt.
als ich dann wieder zu hause war, habe ich alle möglichen tests und videos dazu gelesen bzw. geguckt. und dann habe ich gesehen, dass es die kopfhörer auch in braun gibt. genau mein fall! also gab es kein zurück mehr, und ich habe sie mir bestellt. bei amazon für 99.- euro.
und dann kamen sie an. das design gefällt mir extrem gut! der retro-look wird durch das braun noch verstärkt. allerdings sind die hörer wesentlich dunkler, als das kopfband, welches innen hellbraun ist. insgesamt macht das einen sehr edlen eindruck. die verarbeitung ist, für diesen preis, sehr gut! alles ist sehr wertig verarbeitet (der marshall schriftzug auf den hörern ist gummiert!! so ein schönes detail!). und leicht ist er, wirkt aber nicht billig!
was mir noch gefällt ist, dass der kopfhörer keinen schnickschnack hat. ich habe bei meinen anderen kopfhörern welche mit anc. die marshalls haben das nicht, und bisher vermisse ich das auch nicht. die ohrpolster sind recht dick, weich und satt. die filtern schon einiges an umgebungsgeräuschen raus. auch hat der marshall iv zur steuerung einen joystick (das hat sonst bei mir nur der teufel real blue nc). diese joystick steuerung finde ich ideal! reduziert auf die wichtigen sachen: ein/aus, laut/leise, vor/zurück, telefonat annehmen/auflegen. mehr braucht es auch nicht. und kopfhörer mit reinen wischgesten zu bedienen (bei mir zb. der bose nc 700) ist mir irgendwie zu kompliziert - da verrutscht man, und fummelt sich dann einen ab, bis man wieder da ist, wo man hin wollte. für mich ist der joystick die perfekte lösung, und ich wünsche mir, dass es in zukunft häufiger verbaut wird.
dass der marshall major iv so reduziert ist und wirkt, hat auch den vorteil, dass man ihm beim benutzen kaum verstellen kann. beim auf/absetzen verstellt man somit keine lautstärke, mutet das teil oder stellt aus versehen den sprachassistenten an. nein, der kopfhörer funktioniert einfach. und das perfekt!
der sitz ist sehr gut, und auch nicht zu fest. und durch sein geringes gewicht fällt er gar nicht auf, wenn man ihn trägt. erstes fazit: er ist handlich, supereinfach zu bedienen, leicht und klein. und auch für große köpfe ist er geeignet!
aber jetzt zum hörgenuss. als ich den kopfhörer das erste mal gesehen habe, war mir klar, dass ich den für meine sammlung brauche. als ich ihn dann ausgepackt habe, habe ich ihn mir erstmal nur angeschaut. und habe gehofft, dass er sich wenigstens einigermaßen anhört! bitte! nach kinderleichtem pairing war es dann soweit. ich habe den major iv mit meinem iphone verbunden, und mir etwas rockiges angemacht. wow! diesen sound habe ich nicht erwartet! ich habe förmlich eine bühne gespürt und konnte die instrumente orten! mega! und das für 99.- euro! und laut ist er! lauter als meine anderen kopfhörer. das macht mir persönlich total spaß! andere genres angemacht, als rock. und auch da war ich absolut angetan vom höreindruck. für mich ausgewogen ausbalanciert, perfekt für den einsatz unterwegs. einschalten, aufsetzen, spaß haben! geiler sound!
kurze zusammenfassung:
sehr cooles retro-design (bei mir die version in braun)
leicht und handlich, ohne billig zu wirken
sehr gute verarbeitung
verzichtet auf schnickschnack, reduziert aufs wesentliche
joysticksteuerung
sehr lange akkulaufzeit (war bei mir mit 80% vogeladen, und ich selbst lade ihn nur wirklich sehr selten - angegeben sind 80 stunden laufzeit)
große bluetooth reichweite
der sound ist wirklich gut!
der marshall major iv macht einfach spaß! ein perfekter begleiter im alltag! verbaucht wenig platz in der tasche (faltbar, aber man hat keine angst, dass er zerbricht, wie man das bei anderen anbietern kennt), und ist sofort einsatzbereit.
ich habe mich voll verliebt in dieses kleine designwunder! das hätte ich nicht erwartet! und jetzt empfehle ich ihn jedem! :-)
ich würde ihn sofort wieder kaufen - vielleicht kaufe ich mir noch einen in schwarz…. für die sammlung ;-)
