#185 Marshall Major V: $89.99 Wireless Amazon $89.99 eBay
Pros: A claimed 100 hours of battery is among the longest of any wireless headphone, and LC3 support is ready for newer Bluetooth LE Audio devices. At 186 grams it is very light for an over-ear, and the 32 ohm, 106 dB sensitivity drivers also play loudly when wired. Its profile fits listeners who like a lean, bright, vocal forward sound.
Cons: In hobbyist measurements sub-bass sits about 11.6 dB below target and is 10.8 dB down at 30 Hz, so bass lines lack weight and rumble. A 7.2 dB peak near 3.3 kHz can make vocals and guitars shouty, and a 12.8 dB dip near 9.5 kHz dulls cymbals. There is no active noise cancelling and no IP rating, and the Sennheiser ACCENTUM rates higher for a little more money.
