The Marshall Minor IV Black is Marshall’s compact true wireless earbud, launched in April 2024 as the brand’s entry into everyday wireless listening. Each bud carries a 12 mm dynamic driver tuned to the Marshall signature sound, runs up to 7 hours on a charge, and the pocket case takes the total past 30 hours. Marshall sells the Minor IV in Black and Cream; this is the black version with the familiar script logo.

Sound and Fit of the Marshall Minor IV Black
Marshall uses 12 mm dynamic drivers with 32 Ω impedance and a 20–20,000 Hz frequency range, and describes the tuning as an expertly balanced Marshall signature sound. If you prefer more bass or brighter vocals, the Marshall Bluetooth app has an equaliser, and you can set the touch-and-hold gesture to switch between the signature sound and a preset of your choice.
For the fourth generation Marshall redesigned the earbud and its stem, angling them for what it calls a truer fit in the ear canal. Marshall lists the headphone type as in-ear and the weight at 7.39 g per earbud, light enough to wear for a full working day. The box list contains no spare ear tips, so the fit depends on the shape of the bud itself.
Battery Life and Charging
Marshall rates the Marshall Minor IV Black at up to 7 hours of playtime in the earbuds and more than 30 hours in total with the case. A 15-minute quick charge gives 3 hours of listening. A full recharge takes 1.1 hours for the earbuds and 2 hours for the case.
The case charges over the included USB-C cable or on a wireless charger; Marshall confirms wireless charging but does not name a Qi version on its product page. In the Marshall Bluetooth app, battery preservation lets you cap the maximum charge, limit charging speed and set a temperature limit to slow battery ageing, which is useful in a hot UAE car or bag.
Controls, Calls and Multipoint
Both earbuds have mirrored touch controls, so either one can play and pause music, answer, reject and end calls, change volume, call up the voice assistant or switch the EQ preset. Marshall’s default is a long touch on the right bud for volume up and on the left for volume down, and the app lets you swap them. Ear detection pauses music when you take a bud out and resumes when you put it back; removing both buds during a call puts it on hold.
The Marshall Minor IV Black connects to two devices at the same time, for example a phone and a laptop, and remembers up to 8 previously paired devices. It has built-in microphones for calls; Marshall lists no on-device voice commands of its own, so voice control goes through your phone’s assistant.
IPX4, LE Audio and Updates
The earbuds are rated IPX4, which Marshall frames as enough for rain; the rating covers splashing water on the earbuds, not dust and not the charging case. Bluetooth range is 10 m.
Marshall calls the Minor IV LE Audio-ready and says the technology will bring higher audio quality, longer streaming range and better audio sync. Marshall does not list specific LE Audio features such as Auracast on the product page, so treat it as support that arrives with future updates rather than a feature you use today. Marshall commits to at least 2 years of software and firmware updates, delivered over the air through the app.
Who This Is Not For
If you need active noise cancellation for flights or open offices, the Marshall Minor IV Black is the wrong pick: Marshall states it has no ANC. It also has no wired connection, and the IPX4 rating does not cover dust or immersion, so it is not for swimming. Listeners who struggle with tipless earbuds falling out should note there are no ear tips in the box to adjust the fit. And if you want a lighter colour, Marshall’s Cream version is a separate product.
