Marshall, the famous music brand celebrated for its iconic amplifiers, has unveiled its latest offerings in personal audio: the Major V on-ear headphones and the Minor IV true wireless earbuds. These releases mark a significant milestone for the Marshall Group, formed through the merger of Zound Industries and Marshall Amplification nearly a year ago.
Marshall's Major V on-ear headphones boast an impressive 100+ hours of wireless playtime, offering music enthusiasts an extended listening experience without compromising on comfort. Designed with the classic Marshall aesthetic in mind, the Major V headphones feature a snug fit and a familiar design reminiscent of Marshall amplifiers' grilles, complete with the iconic Marshall logo prominently displayed.
One notable improvement in the Major V on-ear headphones is the enhanced comfort for prolonged listening sessions. Users can now enjoy customizable features through the multifunction M-button, enabling in-app functionalities such as Spotify Tap, EQ switching, and voice assistance. Additionally, wireless charging capability adds convenience to the user experience, making it easier to stay connected to the music they love.
“With Major IV we broke the mold with 80+ hours of playtime, but Major V go miles further by taking that total to 100+ hours,” says Martin Wennberg, the product manager for Marshall headphones.
“To honor the first pair of headphones we ever made, every detail has been painstakingly considered and refined for this fifth incarnation of Major – from their explosive sound to their iconic design.”
