The JLab Go Work Wireless is budget-friendly, with a comfort score reflecting their over-ear design and better for calls and meetings, but they fall short in overall sound and noise isolation compared to Marshall Major IV. If you prioritize sound quality and are willing to spend more, the Marshall Major IV provides superior performance with an on-ear form factor, though they may not be as comfortable for extended use as the JLab. Both models offer similar portability and are suitable for a variety of listening activities, from music to podcasts. Give Feedback

Headphone Check
Maike Paeßens | 2021
"If you are going to criticise the JLab Go Work, it would be for the cables, which are to some extent too short for their intended use, and for its rather harsh treble reproduction above moderate volume levels in music mode. However, the call quality during telephone calls and video conferences in voice mode via wireless and via cable is impeccable. This handy Bluetooth headset also scores points with its excellent battery life and support for multipoint connections."

Jasper Lastoria | September 2023
"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)."
