Actually bought these because the bestbuy I was at had an open box model that was only missing the aux cable and was heavily discounted. That being said, would I have bought these at full price? Nah, I don't think so, but I'm glad I bought them at around $130. As you can imagine, these have a very fun V shaped sound, which is what a lot of people enjoy for many genres of music where added bass and highs are preferred. Hard to complain about the sound and if anything, using an equalizer on your phone solves any issue you might have with the sound signature. Esthetically, it looks great. Not flashy or distracting. I feel like it not having an internal battery or ability to work off usb power is a missed opportunity. There is an app for smart devices to connect to bluetooth and it's okay, nothing special. Overall it's great and I see it on sale for around 150, which is what I consider it's actual value. You have a lot of options at that price point and I don't have any buyers remorse after seeing other similarly priced speakers.

After months of contemplation, I finally decided to purchase a Marshall speaker, and it has been an unparalleled addition to my daily routine. From the unboxing to the first note that filled the room, the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Design and Build Quality The first thing that strikes you about the Marshall speaker is its iconic design. The vintage-inspired look, complete with the classic Marshall logo, not only serves as a nod to the brand's rock 'n' roll heritage but also adds a touch of elegance to my living space. The build quality is sturdy, with a weight that reassures you of its durability. The tactile knobs for volume, bass, and treble adjustments not only add to its retro charm but allow for a satisfying level of control over the sound output. Sound Quality The sound quality is, in a word, impressive. The speaker delivers a rich, clear, and balanced audio experience that is a testament to Marshall's legacy in sound engineering. The bass is deep and powerful without overwhelming the mid and high frequencies. Whether I'm playing classic rock, jazz, or contemporary pop, the speaker handles each genre with finesse, bringing a depth and clarity to the music that is truly captivating. Connectivity and Features Setting up the speaker was straightforward, thanks to its intuitive connectivity options. The Bluetooth connection is stable and quick to set up, allowing me to stream music from my phone effortlessly. I also appreciate the addition of a 3.5mm jack, which gives me the flexibility to connect older devices that might not support Bluetooth. The Marshall Bluetooth app is a nice touch, offering an additional layer of control over the sound settings and making it easy to switch between different connected devices. Battery Life As for portability, the speaker's battery life has been remarkable. It easily lasts through a day of continuous play, making it perfect for outdoor gatherings or just moving it around the house without worrying about finding a power outlet. Charging is equally efficient, ensuring the speaker is ready to go when I need it. Final Thoughts In conclusion, the Marshall speaker has exceeded my expectations. It's not just a speaker; it's a statement piece that combines style, quality, and performance. Whether you're an audiophile or someone who appreciates the finer things in life, this speaker is a worthy investment. It offers an immersive listening experience that brings music to life, making every moment more memorable. If you're on the fence about getting one, I'd say go for it – it's an experience you won't regret.

Acton II is a nice upgrade from a portable, battery powered BT Speaker. The sound quality is decent, lows and highs nicely balanced, but the stereo image is a bit narrow (to be expected when it's all in one chassis). The Acton can get loud, and stays clear even at high levels. Visual and build is top-notch and feels expensive and classy. I'm an audio engineer, and this is a decent value for the money -- just remember, it is AC-powered which means no battery operation. It's a great speaker for around the house.

I was looking for a Bluetooth piece when I come across this Marshall. I'm a percussionist from back in the 70s and eighties Plus and when I seen this Marshall it reminded me of the Marshall stacks the set behind me on stage for all the musicians to play through. When I seen this he reminded me of those therefore I caught my mini stack it's small and they have a variety of sizes that go up in price but I got this on sale and when I got it going and got the app working for The equalizer it has two tweeters and a sub in it and this little thing feels a room for a beautiful crystal clear sound it's amazing well worth the money I'm looking here in the future to buy a bigger one and have two in a room and then it really will sound outstanding. It's also a beautiful piece it's well crafted well made over in Switzerland where they make Marshall I've even talked to a couple of them by way of email very friendly people willing to work with you right away. I rated the Stars down there pretty good but there's not enough storage on the paper there to actually rate this for the quality workmanship and value cuz it's probably I'd rate them 10 to 20 that's outstanding.

I am a sound fanatic from great headphones to home speaker systems. I bought this for my office as a sound system would be too much though I would do it but my co workers would not appreciate it. This is fantastic for what it is. Great sound, rocking bass, and bumps me through the day. Better than Bose, Bose is generally crap but most don’t know that. Buy this and you won’t be disappointed.
