Marshall Minor IV true wireless earbuds, with 12mm drivers and about 30 hours of total playtime, are in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 16,500, brand new and sealed. They use Bluetooth 5.3, carry an IPX4 rating against splashes, and charge in their case over USB-C or on a wireless charging pad. Every Marshall Minor IV we sell is available at our shop in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, where you can pair a unit with your own phone before you pay.
Designed for gym-goers, sales teams, estate agents and university students, the Marshall Minor IV handles music, calls and podcasts without a cable or a headband. Each earbud weighs 7.3 grams, so it stays light through a long day, and the touch controls let you skip tracks and answer calls with a tap. The earbuds last about 7 hours per charge and the case adds roughly 23 more. At two hours of listening a day, that is about two weeks between wall charges. The Marshall Minor IV also connects to a second Bluetooth device, so a laptop and a phone can share it.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell earbuds with little detail on what is in the box, Mascom International states the specifications plainly and backs the Marshall Minor IV with a service desk in the CBD. Buyers throughout Kenya tell us they like Marshall for the familiar styling and for a charging case that disappears into a pocket. The Marshall Minor IV does not offer noise cancelling, and we say so up front, so you can compare it with the dearer models. Visit us Monday through Saturday, message us on WhatsApp, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery to your county.
Common Questions About the Marshall Minor IV
How much is the Marshall Minor IV in Kenya?
The Marshall Minor IV costs KSh 16,500 in Kenya, brand new, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. The price includes the earbuds, the charging case, a USB-C cable and the 12-month warranty covered below, with pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. A wall adapter is not in the box. The Marshall Minor IV costs KSh 1,000 more than the Marshall Major V headphones and KSh 4,500 less than the Marshall Motif II ANC earbuds, which add active noise cancelling.
How long does the Marshall Minor IV battery last?
Marshall rates the Minor IV at about 7 hours of playback per charge, and the charging case adds about 23 hours, for roughly 30 hours in total. A 15-minute quick charge gives about 3 hours of playback. The earbuds fully recharge in about 1 hour, and the case needs about 2 hours over USB-C. The case also charges wirelessly on a compatible pad, though that takes a little longer than the cable.
Should I buy the Marshall Minor IV or the Marshall Motif II ANC?
Buy the Marshall Minor IV at KSh 16,500 if you want a simple earbud with about 30 hours of total playtime and no cancelling circuitry. Buy the Marshall Motif II ANC at KSh 21,000 if you want active noise cancelling, a Transparency mode and an IPX5 rating on the earbuds. The gap is KSh 4,500. The Minor IV gives about 7 hours per charge, while the Motif gives 6 hours with cancelling switched on and 9 without.
Can the Marshall Minor IV handle sweat, rain and daily use in Kenya?
The Marshall Minor IV has an IPX4 rating, which means it resists water splashing from any direction. That covers sweat at the gym and a light drizzle on a boda boda ride, but not swimming or a rinse under the tap. Dust is a fact of life in Nairobi, so keep the case closed in your bag. Bluetooth works with any phone on Safaricom, Airtel Kenya or Telkom, and the 30-hour total keeps you going through a KPLC outage.
Who should buy the Marshall Minor IV, and who should skip it?
Buy the Marshall Minor IV if you want small, light earbuds for the gym, commuting and calls, with Marshall styling at KSh 16,500. Skip it if you need active noise cancelling, because it has none. The Marshall Motif II ANC at KSh 21,000 is the better fit for open-plan offices and loud buses. Skip it too if you want a battery you charge once in a few weeks, since the Marshall Major V headphones run about 100 hours.
Does the Marshall Minor IV have an app and an equaliser?
Yes. The Marshall Minor IV works with the Marshall app, which shows battery status and offers a five-band equaliser with five presets plus custom settings. The app also lets you assign the touch controls and adjust charging settings such as capacity, speed and temperature. An equaliser lets you raise or lower bass, mid-range and treble to suit your music. You can pair the Minor IV without the app, but the app unlocks these settings for Android and iOS owners.
Can the Marshall Minor IV connect to two devices at once?
Yes. The Marshall Minor IV supports multipoint, so it can stay connected to a second Bluetooth device, such as a laptop alongside your phone. It uses Bluetooth 5.3 with the SBC and AAC codecs, and Marshall lists LC3 as a future codec. AAC is the format iPhones use, while many Android phones use AAC or SBC depending on the model. The earbuds carry built-in microphones for calls, and reviewers report that background noise is filtered out.
Is the Marshall Minor IV worth buying in Kenya at KSh 16,500?
It is worth it if you want compact earbuds from Marshall with dependable battery life and no cancelling. At KSh 16,500 you get about 30 hours of total playtime, Bluetooth 5.3, wireless charging, IPX4 splash resistance and a five-band equaliser. Customers across Nairobi tell us the pocketable case is the feature they use most. If long battery matters more, the Marshall Major V is KSh 1,000 cheaper. If you want cancelling, the Marshall Motif II ANC is KSh 4,500 more.
Technical Specifications
Audio Hardware
- 12mm dynamic drivers — the driver is the small speaker inside each earbud, and 12mm is a size that handles both bass and vocals.
- Five-band equaliser with five presets — raise or lower bass, mid-range and treble in the app until your music sounds right.
- Built-in microphones for calls — background noise is filtered out, so you can take a call on a busy street.
- No active noise cancelling — outside sound still reaches you, which helps you hear traffic and announcements.
- Custom equaliser settings — save your own sound profile in the app and use it on every track.
- Stereo pair of earbuds with a left and right driver — each ear gets its own channel, so music keeps its width and podcasts keep their clarity.
Wireless Connectivity
- Bluetooth 5.3 — the wireless standard that keeps a steady link to your phone while using little power.
- SBC and AAC codecs — a codec is the method that compresses audio for Bluetooth, and AAC is the one iPhones use.
- LC3 listed as a future codec — it comes with LE Audio, a newer Bluetooth audio standard for lower power use.
- Multipoint connection to a second device — keep a laptop and a phone paired together and switch between them.
- Marshall app for Android and iOS — view battery status, assign touch controls and adjust charging settings.
- Works with Android phones, iPhones, tablets and laptops — any device with Bluetooth can pair, and the app is optional for basic listening.
Battery
- About 7 hours of playback per charge — enough for a full working day of calls and music with a short break.
- Case adds about 23 hours — the total reaches about 30 hours, or about 15 days at two hours of listening a day.
- 15-minute quick charge gives about 3 hours of playback — a short top-up before a commute covers the trip.
- Earbuds fully charged in about 1 hour — the case needs about 2 hours over a USB-C cable.
- Wireless charging case — rest it on a compatible charging pad, though it takes a little longer than the cable.
- App charging settings — check capacity, speed and temperature so you can look after the battery.
Build and Durability
- 7.3 grams per earbud — light enough to forget you are wearing them through a full day.
- IPX4 rating — the earbuds resist water splashing from any direction, which covers sweat and light rain but not submersion.
- Black finish with a rose gold accent — Marshall's styling is easy to recognise; confirm the colour in stock on WhatsApp.
- Pocket-sized charging case — it slips into a shirt pocket or the small compartment of a bag.
- Supplied brand new in a Marshall box — the earbuds, case and cable arrive untouched.
- About 14.6 grams for the pair — two earbuds of 7.3 grams each, so they hang lightly in the ear on a long day.
Controls and Inputs
- Touch controls — tap to start, stop and skip tracks, and to accept, reject and end calls.
- Tap to call up equaliser presets and the voice assistant — set which tap does what in the app.
- Tap and hold to change volume — adjust the level without reaching for your phone.
- USB-C port on the case — charge from a phone charger, laptop port or power bank.
- Voice assistant access — call up the assistant on your phone with a tap, so you can ask for directions or send a message while your hands are busy.
- Controls assigned in the app — if a tap does something you do not use, change it to the action you reach for most.
