If it could be a little more

In times of Corona you have to be careful to be positive ;-), but as far as the Major IV is concerned, I am only too happy to make an exception:

The connection to your smartphone is established within seconds, thanks to the strong Bluetooth connection.
Also in terms of sound, the Major IV does not disappoint. With the first song you put on you are immediately carried away by the qualitative sound and where the strong basses make you feel like you are at a festival (one that is allowed).

It is clear that the criticism of the previous versions has been taken into account when creating these headphones.
This way, it is much less hard on your ears and the 3.5mm Jack remains firmly in place, where it sometimes dared to fall out with the Major III.

I therefore hope that the manufacturer will include the following points for improvement when they wish to improve the Major IV:
- The design looks and feels cheaper in this version than the rugged-looking Major II due to the lack of any relief on the ear cups.
- The fact that you can no longer replace the ear cups with this version is also a disappointment.
- Hopefully they will make the future major (splash) waterproof

I've been using the Major IV for about two weeks now and have had to charge these headphones once, I also like the wireless charging. I also really like the sound of these headphones, very nice sound, certainly what you expect.

I use these headphones on a daily basis for work and private life and it is very nice that I can connect both my phone and my laptop to the headphones at the same time. The only thing that did bother me is that if I had the headphones on for a few hours in a row, I got a bit of a pressing feeling in my ears. This is only the case if I have my glasses on, if I don't have my glasses on, it doesn't bother me

The headphones are good. It fits well - the ear pads are very soft - and it has good bass and nice sound.
