Between the Major V and MW75, the Major V comes out ahead in battery life and weight, while the MW75 wins on active noise cancellation. Overall, the Major V scores 79.3 and the MW75 scores 67.1 on our Mars Score.
Which should you buy?
The Major V is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 12.2 points on the Mars Score. The margin is wide enough that the underdog only makes sense if its individual strengths line up with what you specifically need.
Pick the Major V if your top frustration with your current device is running out of charge before the day ends — endurance is the lead spec here. The biggest gaps in its favor are battery life, weight.
Pick the MW75 if audio quality and feature breadth (ANC, codecs, multipoint) are the lead criteria for your purchase. Its strongest claims are active noise cancellation.
Both ship with comparable driver size, spatial audio, multipoint, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the Major V is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
