Definitely worth it, I,ve own Major IV for about two years now, battery is amazing, comfortable and stylish. I used them for the gym so yes they are durable.
How's the durability of it's leather band & ear pad? My experience with Major I & II band/pad are bad, and my friend with Major III also got the same problem. That's why I haven't bought the Major after Major II, although really loved their sound. But kinda considering Major V rn.

I am not sure was it 1 year 1 and a half 2 or 2 and a half, but concidering the price i dont think thats great and fair.... even ithough im in love with looks im angry no one talks about that...
After using the early Marshall headphones for over 10 years, I got the Marshall Major V. They are just brilliant. Good controllable sound, easy handling, compact storage.
I collect on-ear headphones and, without a doubt, Marshall Major IV is the most comfortable one i own (over Sony, Soundcore, Edifier, JBL on ear-headphones). With that being said, it is disappointing that the Major IV has no app to customize EQ compared to the others. So the Major V having an app is a great upgrade to the Major IV.
Honestly the no EQ is the best part of the major IV For me, they are perfectly tuned, No reason to change anything ever, I LOVED that, I hated having to go mess with that shit on old headphones, marshall made the right choice getting rid of that.
i bought the major 4 back in black friday of 2021, i got left xtremely and i mean xtremely happy with them, from the day i bough them i am using them for at least 7h every day, and i mean everyday for anything. The battery for sure is the strongest feature, after 3 years iam still going 2 weeks without a single charge, and again ,everyday for 7h minimum. Sound is great,style is great, comfortability is great, build quality is great. For sure iam going for the major 5 especially if they drop like 20 bucks/euros like the major 4 did.
I upgraded from Major 3's which I had for almost 5 years. The earcuffs are way more comfortable, but the button feels more flimsy and plastic. I click it accidentally instead of doing any other action way too often. The m-button is actively making them worse. It's useless, it's in the place of the knob from previous models, to make sure veterans accidentally reach for it out of habit. It's has no functionality outside of playing a random song on spotify. It didn't have to be a button, but spotify is getting desperate. Lack of color options is not enticing either. I think those may be the last marshall majors ever if they tank badly
It mostly comes down to a more refined fit and extra comfort in the earcups and headbands. There's newer wireless tech and tweaked drivers, but for the most part, I think people are going to notice the feel more.
Got them last week for less than £100. First reaction…1) bit small ear cups but after wearing them for a bit would not necessary say it is a problem, 2) whilst sound is great it could be an ever slightly louder, 3) agree that the physical knob control def works for me, 4) within app there is an equaliser and when you press the M button (if you decide to have it set for this option) you should be able to switch between all possible sound effects and not just either Marshall and only bass boost or Marshall and only mid reduction etc! Overall 5/5 especially with now lower price!
When on sale it's a great deal. Even for me, I thought they felt a bit small at first, but it's actually part of the reason they're super comfy I think.
I've recently purchased these and I'm quite impressed with the sound. I do like to use wired connection as we all know the sound quality wired is better than Bluetooth - or should be. So here's my problem. Tidal! When you connect these or any BT headphones to the Tidal app up pops a message telling you that Bluetooth compresses the sound quality . .. This is not what I'm paying for with Tidal. So I connected the very thin little supplied headphones cable - no sound!! It turns out that you have to turn the volume up full on both the headphones and your source. For me that's Sony AW45 and my Sony Xperia 10 mobile. It's the only way you can hear anything and I'm not sure that the sound quality with cable is any better.. be interested to hear what others have to say. I must admit the Bluetooth connection is actually rather pleasant to listen to. And the bass definitely there if you need it.
I literally just known that because of you. I was worried if I even breathe it wrongly it might snapped or smt (cuz i just got mine). I have no idea it was this durable. Thank you for your wonderful video of these headphones!
i got major 4 right after it came on market and i was considering if i should buy major 5 or not. major 5 whites design is so pretty. and what do you think should i buy major 5 or keep major 4s?
Still rocking my Major II since early 2018 and they are working great. The head band and ear cups faux leather though, has cracked and pealed. Maybe I should finally upgrade to the Vs.
My marshalls 5 does not have that M button under left earcup. It is not getting connected to my iPhone. I Downloaded marshalls app to but the device is not discoverable there either. It only connects to my old one plus phone. Is it Fake marshalls ????? Can someone please tell me???
Not sure why Marshall won't comply with the industry standard of putting the cable connector on the left hand side. And switching the gold joystick/selector from left to right was a terrible move for people who have years of muscle memory with it on the left.
I bought the 4s and had em since they came out just ordered the 5s as I like the new features and the headbands starting to peel 😅. Oh and the batteries getting worse now 😂
Audio quality for phone calls is not the best on these. I still think my AirPods Pro 2 are better for taking calls and I usually switch to them if I'm about to.
If you have bigger ears, they'res a good chance these might feel small on you. With mine, they don't cover all of my ear, but they cover enough that it doesn't feel weird, if that makes sense.
Unfortunatey I don't think these are good for audio calls. The built-in mics still aren't great for clarity and the person on the other side will think you sound distant. They also pick up a lot of unwanted external noise.
It feels impossible to find a pair that fits on my tiny head 😅 I'm so tired of in ears! and we're not allowed to try out the headphones in the stores. I saw a girl wearing these Marshall or some older model of them maby, and they didn't look like a "hat" on her. I tried a friends pair of jbl Tune 520BT, and they were barely clamping on, had to be very still and they were "hanging" a bit under the ears. So can someone please, please share som tips on smaller headphones if there's someone out there that has the same problem, and found some?
My GF has a smaller head and finds these to fit well and to be super comfy. You can wear these for several hours without feeling much pressure on your head.
I think doing ANC with on Ear vs Over ear might be difficult to make it effective. These surprisingly have decent noise active noise cancellation, but if you need something with ANC that's also compact and folds, you can check out our Buy or Skip for the Marshall Monitor III. It's pricier and over ear, but if you like the retro styling, you might want to check them out.
Yikes, I never had that issue and find them to be quite relaxed to the point I forget they're on. Might be an issue with yours if they feel too tight or they just might be too small for you.
i had the same problem using the first day. not an issue now. just need to cling the headphones on a few stack of books overnight or use your thumb to bend each side by holding on for a few minutes.

If you liked the sound of the IV, you probably don't need to upgrade to the V. These are refined, but the biggest changes come from fit and comfort where they made it slightly better. That, and the improved battery life and BlueTook LE support.
Nothing too “major” - had to do it. It’s mostly that the band and cup positioning has been improved to allow the drivers to better be placed against your ears for improved delivery. The biggest upgrade hands down is the 100+ hours of playback now.
They're basically the same design wise. The only noticeable differences are 20 hours less battery life, no M button, & no support through the Marshall app. The sound and volume are also the same on both IV & V when you don't use the app to change the equalizer settings.
