Marshall Launches Major V Headphones With Incredible Battery Life
Marshall unveils its new Major V on-ear headphones alongside the Minor IV wireless earbuds.
Marshall has done it again with its Major V headphones, which boast a whopping 100-hour battery life, beating the already amazing 80-hour battery life of the Major IV, so says the rocking audio brand.
Martin Wennberg, Product Manager for Marshall headphones, told StereoNET:
With Major IV, we broke the mould with 80+ hours of playtime, but Major V goes miles further by taking the total to 100+ hours. To honour the first pair of headphones we ever made, every detail has been painstakingly considered and refined for the fifth incarnation of Major—from their explosive sound to their iconic design.
The Major V headphones have 40mm dynamic drivers, a 32 ohm impedance, and 106dB SPL. They can be charged via USB-C in three hours and even support wireless charging.
The headphones can fold in on themselves to become more compact for easy storage in your bag, and the M-button can now be customised to activate Spotify Tap, access EQ presets or the voice assistant.
MINOR IV
Marshall has also unveiled the Minor IV true wireless earbuds, which have seven hours of battery life in the earbuds and another 3.5 charges in the case, for a claimed total of 30+ hours of battery life.
According to the company, the earbud and stem have been re-designed and angled to create a better fit inside the ear canal, allowing the 12mm dynamic driver to reach its full potential. The earbuds support Bluetooth multipoint connectivity for easy switching between devices, and there's even an in-app battery preservation feature to help keep the battery in the earbuds working at full capacity for a longer time.
The Marshall Major V retails at £129, while the Marshall Minor IV earbuds cost £119. Both are now available for preorder and will be on the shelves from 23 April.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
