The Marshall Major V Brown is Marshall’s on-ear wireless headphone in a deep, warm brown that looks closer to worn leather than to plastic. Next to the black edition it feels more like an accessory you choose for an outfit, and it sits naturally with tan, beige, olive and denim. Under the colour it is the standard Major V: 40 mm dynamic drivers, more than 100 hours of wireless playtime on a charge, wireless charging on a compatible pad, Bluetooth 5.3 with SBC, AAC and LC3, a gold control knob, a customisable M-button and a 3.5 mm cable for wired listening. It weighs 186 g and folds down for a bag.

Who the Brown colour suits
The Marshall Major V Brown suits people who treat headphones as part of what they wear. Brown pairs with leather bags and watch straps, camel and beige clothing, white shirts and earthy autumn colours, and it looks less technical on a university campus or in a creative office than black does. It is also a good choice for anyone who already owns black Marshall gear and wants something that stands apart. Day to day, the mid-dark brown hides scuffs and skin oils better than Cream, while dust and hair can show slightly more than on black; a dry microfibre cloth keeps the band and cushions clean.
Battery life and charging
Marshall rates the Marshall Major V Brown at 100+ hours of wireless playtime without stating the volume used, so loud listening will give less. Even so, that is weeks of commuting for most people. On the Marshall Major V Brown, a 15-minute charge adds about 15 hours, and a full charge takes about 3 hours over USB-C. The headphones also charge wirelessly when placed on a compatible charging pad, which Marshall does not supply. Battery preservation in the Marshall Bluetooth app can cap charging at 90% and manage temperature and charging speed to slow battery wear over the years.
Sound and connection
Each ear cup of the Marshall Major V Brown holds a 40 mm dynamic driver with a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, 32 Ω impedance and 106 dB SPL sensitivity at 100 mV and 1 kHz. Bluetooth 5.3 reaches about 10 m and supports SBC, AAC and LC3, and Marshall says the headphones are ready for Bluetooth LE Audio. Multipoint lets a phone and a laptop stay connected at the same time. The included 3.5 mm cable works as input and output, so you can plug into an in-flight entertainment system, a keyboard or an older player when Bluetooth is not an option.
Control knob and M-button
Instead of touch panels, the Marshall Major V Brown uses Marshall’s gold control knob on the right cup: push to play or pause, push and hold for power, and move it in different directions to change volume or skip tracks. It works reliably with gloves or wet fingers, unlike touch surfaces. The M-button can be set in the app to open the equaliser presets or to call your phone’s voice assistant, and the app also offers a custom EQ and firmware updates. Marshall notes software support for at least 2 years from the date the product was last sold.
Comfort, fit and folding
Major V is an on-ear design: the cushions rest on your ears rather than surrounding them. At 186 g the Marshall Major V Brown is light enough for long sessions, and the band folds so the headphones fit in a jacket pocket or a small bag. On-ear fit lets more outside sound in than over-ear headphones, which is useful for staying aware on the street, but it means the headphones do not block noise on a plane or a noisy metro.
Who This Is Not For
The Marshall Major V Brown is not for anyone who needs noise cancelling: Marshall lists no ANC, and the on-ear fit lets outside noise in. It has no IP rating, so it is not made for sweaty gym sessions or rain. Some people find on-ear cushions press on the ears after a few hours, especially with glasses. There is no wireless charging pad in the box, and voice commands are not built in beyond triggering your phone’s assistant through the M-button.
