Each part is measured the same way for every model (from specs and lab test measurements where they exist) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.

Pros

  • Lasted close to 93 hours in testing
  • Light with thick soft pads
  • App EQ fixes most of the sound
  • Wired mode and two-device multipoint
  • Full, roomy sound for an on-ear
  • Battery barely needs charging
  • Light, comfy and folds small

Cons

  • Out of the box the treble is too sharp
  • Mic gets noisy outdoors and in wind
  • Light clamp lets them shift
  • No ANC and no carry case; wireless charging finicky
  • Little different from the cheaper Major IV
  • No noise cancelling
  • Wireless charging awkward
  • SoundGuysAug 2024

    Fun, good-looking on-ears for casual listening in quiet places; the stock tuning needs the EQ (US model).

  • T3Jul 2024

    A good first Marshall on-ear, but barely changed from the Major IV (UK model).

  • iMoreApr 2024

    Light and long-lasting, but the sound is only middling.

  • FoneArenaApr 2025

    A good buy if you want the Marshall look, sturdy build and huge battery (India review).

  • Good sound, battery and looks, but costly for India given what cheaper rivals include (India review).
