Marshall Major IV

Yes, the Marshall Major IV is specifically noted for being glasses-friendly due to its well-padded earcups and adjustable headband. The plush vinyl padding creates enough give to accommodate the temple arms of most eyeglasses without pinching. This design significantly reduces the pressure headaches that on-ear headphones can cause for glasses wearers.

The Marshall Major IV boasts a highly impressive battery life, offering up to 80 hours of playtime on a single charge. This is a massive upgrade over previous iterations in the Major series. Furthermore, if you do run out of battery, just plugging it in for 15 minutes will give you roughly 15 hours of listening time.

Yes, the Major IV updated its charging mechanism to include a modern USB-C port, moving away from the older Micro-USB standards of previous models. Additionally, it features a unique folding hinge mechanism that hides the USB-C port and a 3.5mm audio jack when not in use. You can also share your music with a friend using the dual 3.5mm jacks on the earcups.

No, the Marshall Major IV does not feature Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology. Being a retro-styled on-ear headphone, it relies purely on the physical padding of the earcups to passively block out ambient noise. If ANC is a strict requirement for you, you would need to look at over-ear alternatives like the Marshall Monitor II A.N.C.
