These Marshall Major V Headphones Are Nearly 50% Off Right Now

For anyone who has ever been tempted by Marshall’s signature guitar amp look in headphone form but couldn’t justify the high price, the Major V Wireless On-Ear Headphones just reached its lowest price ever recorded, according to price trackers. Originally $169.99, they are now available on Amazon for $88.99. That’s a drop of 48% for a headset that stands out above all for its sound signature, its autonomy and its retro design.

You don’t get active noise cancellation or premium sound codecs like LDAC, but you get over 100 hours of battery life (actual usage may vary), punchy bass, and a retro-inspired design that folds easily. The headphones operate on 40mm dynamic drivers and the tuning leans towards deep bass and crisp treble. They produce clear, rumbling bass that doesn’t distort even at higher volumes, note this PCMag Review. Vocals remain clear with subtle treble sculpting. It’s not studio-quality sound, but it’s definitely fun. You can tweak the sound further in the Marshall app, which also lets you remap the M button for Spotify Tap or voice assistant access. The joystick on the right earbud manages volume and playback and feels intuitive, something many more expensive earbuds still fail to achieve.

That said, there are compromises to be made. You don’t get ANC, which means outside noise will leak in, especially with the over-ear design. There is no Fast Pair or pouch to protect them when thrown in a bag. But you get Bluetooth 5.3, support for wired readingand surprisingly decent internal mics for calls. Battery life, again, is the standout: well over 100 hours per charge with USB-C or wireless charging via the right earbud. That alone makes the reduced price easier to swallow. If you want headphones that look good, sound bold and don’t need to jam an airplane engine, the Major V makes a strong argument, especially when they cost less than $90.
