These Stylish Bluetooth Headphones With Unbelievable Battery Life Are Still Cheaper Than Ever After Prime Day

Amazon Prime Day discount still available: Marshall’s Major V headphones are worth it even at full price, but right now they’re at an all-time low price of $100 — or around 38% off. Move quickly though, because with Prime Day done and dusted, who knows how long this price will stick around.

I might not be a true battle-tested headphone expert like CNET’s David Carnoy, but I still love headphones and I’m confident in what I like about them. My most recent pickup, the Marshall Major V on-ear Bluetooth headphones, quickly became a pair that I adore.

What is Marshall?

Marshall is a British audio hardware company that got its start back in the early ’60s and became renowned for producing amps and speakers for live music performances. More recently, it’s made a mark in consumer audio, producing home speakers with a distinctly rock ‘n’ roll aesthetic — think rough-patterned black leather materials, gold trim and prominent physical buttons.

The brand has also brought its signature sound and style to headphones. Recently, I picked up the Major V, Marshall’s latest iteration of its on-ear Bluetooth model (that’s V as in 5), and I could hardly love them more. Marshall boasts that these headphones can last up to 100 hours on one charge, an almost ludicrous number that has largely held up as I’ve used them. The audio quality, while not a patch on the heavier hitters in the Bluetooth market, is excellent for its price, with strong bass and clean high notes. Vocals can sometimes come off a little shabby at first blush, but I find you get used to it real quick.

The connectivity performance has also really impressed me. For such a cheap pair of headphones, the Major V easily maintain connections to at least two devices at a time and can switch between them almost seamlessly. That’s not something I’ve found to be the case for a lot of the affordable Bluetooth headphones I’ve tried in the past. It’s a strong contender overall in the budget Bluetooth headphones space.

Why does this deal matter?

I was able to scoop up the Marshall Major V for $100, the lowest their price has gone since they debuted last year. For that price, it’s basically a steal. For the amount of blissful use I’ve gotten out of them so far — listening to music, watching movies or getting through my audiobooks — it’s been more than worth the price of admission. 

For now, only the standard black Major Vs are on sale. They also come in brown, cream and midnight blue varieties, but those will cost you closer to full retail price for now.

They usually retail for around $160, making their current price a 38% discount. While I was able to get this deal well in advance of Prime Day, there’s no telling how long it’ll stick around now that the event is over, so get a move on if you’re interested in picking a pair up.
