These Stylish Marshall Headphones Are Now Almost 50% Off.
For those who’ve ever been drawn to Marshall’s signature guitar-amp-style headphones but couldn’t justify the high price, the Major V wireless over-ear headphones just hit their lowest price ever, according to price-tracking sites . Originally priced at $169.99, they’re now available on Amazon for $88.99. That’s a 48% price cut for headphones that stand out primarily for their sound, battery life, and retro design.
These headphones don’t feature active noise cancellation or high-quality audio codecs like LDAC, but they offer over 100 hours of battery life (actual results may vary), powerful bass, and a retro-inspired design that folds easily. The headphones feature 40mm dynamic drivers, and the sound tuning is focused on deep bass and crisp highs. They produce a clear, booming sub-bass that doesn’t distort even at high volumes, according to a PCMag review . Vocals remain clear thanks to a subtle high-range treatment. It’s not studio-quality sound, but it’s certainly enjoyable. You can further customize the sound in the Marshall app, which also allows you to remap the M button to access Spotify Tap or your voice assistant. The joystick on the right earcup controls volume and playback and is intuitive, something many more expensive headphones have failed to achieve.
However, there are some compromises. There’s no active noise cancellation, meaning outside noise will leak in, especially given the on-ear design. There’s no quick pairing feature or case to protect the earbuds when tucked away in your bag. However, they do feature Bluetooth 5.3, wired connectivity , and surprisingly decent built-in microphones for calls. Battery life, again, is a major selling point—over 100 hours on a single charge via USB-C or wireless charging via the right earcup. This alone makes the lower price more palatable. If you want headphones that look good, sound powerful, and don’t require drowning out the sound of an airplane engine, the Major V are a great option, especially considering they’re priced under $90.
