However, the Marshall Major IV, while more expensive, provides superior sound quality, particularly for music and podcasts, and is praised for its microphone quality and comfort, making it a strong choice for extended wear and clear communication. The Marshall also has longer battery life and supports wireless charging, further enhancing its convenience for on-the-go use. Give Feedback

"The Marshall Major IV shares quite a bit in common with its predecessor, but a key upgrade appears to be softer ear cushions. They make upgrading worth it. As a set of basic wired or wireless headphones the Major IV ticks most boxes by remaining easy to use, and fairly comfortable (at least, as on-ear headphones go)."
