Marshall has presented the latest generation of its popular Major Bluetooth Headphone, which this time should not only convince with a chic design and “legendary sound”, but above all with the battery juice that lasts for 80 hours and which can be charged wirelessly via Qi charging.
Zound Industries introduced the fourth generation of Marshall Major IV Bluetooth wireless Headphones that can provide 80 hours of music playback on a single charge. And with a wireless connection via Bluetooth 5.0, charging can be done via a USB-C plug or wirelessly on a Qi charger – a welcome feature that is still rarely found in on-ear Bluetooth earphones. If the battery is exhausted, the Major IV can also be operated with a 3.5 mm AUX cable.
In addition, the Bluetooth earphone is also more comfortable to wear thanks to specially adapted, softer ear pads. A new folding mechanism makes the headphones easier to transport, which weighs 165 grams. The multidirectional control button is retained so that the volume can be regulated, the music controlled or calls can be accepted with just one button.
The manufacturer promises “legendary Marshall sound”. The datasheet mentions 40-millimeter drivers with a sensitivity of 99 dB. What is noticeably absent is any kind of active noise cancellation or support for the Google Assistant. A nice extra feature: the AUX plug can also be used to connect a second pair of headphones while Major IV plays music via Bluetooth so that you can listen to music with a friend.
Marshall Major IV price and availability
The Marshall Major IV Bluetooth Headphone is now available to buy on the Amazon website at a price of $149.99.
So the Major IV is missing active noise cancellation, but you don’t have to worry. Earlier this year, Marshall has introduced Monitor II ANC over-ear Bluetooth wireless Headphones with active noise cancellation function, thanks to the use of a button located on the pavilions, the ANC – Active Noise Canceling function can be activated, deactivated or put into an automatic mode which intervenes by monitoring the surrounding noise.
