Marshall Major V Wireless On-Ear Headphones, Cream, 100+ Hours, Bluetooth 5.3
Product description
For commuting, travelling or listening at home between errands, the Marshall Major V combines a foldable on-ear design with more than 100 hours of stated wireless playtime. Bluetooth 5.3 handles wireless listening, while wireless charging offers another way to top up the battery. The Cream finish and familiar Marshall styling also give these headphones a distinctive look rather than a plain, utility-first appearance.
The M-button can open Spotify Tap by default, or be set through the Marshall Bluetooth app to access EQ settings or a voice assistant. That makes it useful for listeners who want a shortcut on the headphones instead of reaching for their phone each time.
How to use it
Pair the Major V over Bluetooth for music or calls, then use the M-button for its default Spotify Tap function or a configured shortcut. The built-in microphone supports calls, and the product description notes an update intended to reduce wind noise. For day-to-day carrying, the headphones fold for more compact storage, when charging, you can use wireless charging rather than relying only on a cable.
The on-ear format is worth factoring into your routine. It keeps the headphones foldable, but rests on the ears rather than surrounding them like over-ear headphones. If you often listen for long stretches, fit may matter as much as battery life, so consider how you prefer headphones to sit before choosing.

Benefits
The headline benefit is less frequent charging: the stated 100+ hours can suit a trip or a busy week of listening without making charging a daily task. The foldable build is also practical when a full-size pair would take up more room. Marshall describes the sound as having strong bass, smooth mids and crisp treble, while the M-button gives you a way to reach selected functions quickly.
Buyer feedback is positive about sound and battery life, with some listeners also liking the classic Marshall appearance. Comfort and durability opinions are mixed, though. That makes these a more considered choice for anyone prioritizing portable, on-ear headphones than for someone choosing solely by long-session comfort or expecting a particular lifespan.
Compared with basic wireless headphones that offer fewer shortcuts or require more frequent charging, the Major V brings long stated playtime, app-configurable controls and wireless charging together. A non-folding over-ear design may make more sense if ear coverage is your priority, this pair’s appeal is its compact, foldable format and distinctive styling.
Is it worth it?
It suits you if you want wireless on-ear headphones with a long stated battery life, foldable storage and quick access to music or other configured controls. It may not suit you if you already know that on-ear headphones become uncomfortable during extended listening. The available details make the Major V most compelling for portable everyday use, where fewer charging stops and easy packing matter more than an over-ear fit.
