    NOT LOUD ENOUGH.

    It is not that loud. It is well build like any other Marshall product, but the sound really disappoints. Even the base is not that good. No wonder a lot of these were returned to the store, where I purchased it. It cost me 150 bucks, and I was expecting great sound. But failed.

      Hey Ivan, thanks for your review. If you are looking for a loud speaker, we suggest going for the bigger of the 3 models, not the smallest one. It sounds like the Stanmore or the Woburn models will be more suited to your preferences.

    Sound: okay-ish, not bad, not great Build Quality: 4/5. Feels really sturdy Bluetooth Connectivity: -3000 points. This thing drops Bluetooth connection faster than I can say “Bluetooth Connected”!

      Hello Nate, thank you for your review. The headphones should not drop the signal if the device is close to the headphones. Interruptions can be caused by multi-point sometimes. The best method is to make sure the headphones are only actively connected to one device at a time to avoid multi-point interruptions.

      If your headphones are having connectivity issues outside of the scenarios above, please contact Best Buy support for an exchange. I am very sorry that you are experiencing issues with the headphones.

      Again, thank you very much for writing in.

    It’s a great sounding speaker. However for the Bluetooth to actually work you have to use an app. Since I’ve had this thing the Bluetooth function has never been able to use the Bluetooth function on any brand new android or iPhone at all.

      Hi Matt, thanks for your comments. It is possible to use the speaker without the app: set the source on the speaker to Bluetooth, push and hold in the button until the LED light starts to flash and then locate the speaker in your phone's list of available Bluetooth devices.

      The app will enable you to access some additional features such as coupling functions and the equalizer.

    Marshal is a respected product in the commercial music industry. However, this built for home use speaker is overpriced for the sound quality delivered. Less expensive, JBL or Bose for example, are smaller and more portable and deliver equal and in some cases better sound.

    Average sound quality. It’s not better than my Belkin / Devialet Sound Form Elite. AWFUL bluetooth connectivity. Lots of issues when using Apple Music.

      Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear that you have been having issues with your Acton II Bluetooth. The Acton II Bluetooth Bluetooth may offer a more 'accurate' sound when compared to other speakers that use a 360 degree sound scape as it is a Bass-Reflex stereo design, which is very similar to the type of speakers music would be mixed on. This is a more traditional design, which some people may prefer when compared to the other speakers you have mentioned, models which may offer more colouration to the sound. Sound is quite subjective and different models of speaker will appeal to different listeners for different reasons. As for your connecting issues, please note that the Acton II Bluetooth does have Multi-Point, which will allow for multiple devices to connect to the speaker, this means that if another paired devices comes in range, it may try to connect to the speaker, causing a temporary interruption to the sound. If the Bluetooth issue is not related to this, I would recommend contacting Best Buy support for an exchange, or if you are outside of the return period, please contact Marshall Headphones directly as they offer a great Warranty-Repair service with partnered service centers in the US. I hope you have a great day, take care.

    This a decent speaker that i really wanted to like and keep. The problem is you need a app to use it and the app needs a firmware update. I have tried for 2 weeks to update woth my android phone and apple iPad and it keeps saying failed. Customer support is nkt helpful they want to know all my about phone and where i purchased the items then in 3 days or so someone will email me. For the price there should be someone to talk to me answer the question.

      Thank you so much for your review. I am sorry to hear about the issues you were experiencing with your speaker. Please note that the app is not required to use to the speaker. It can be used with the basic Bluetooth settings. I do know that Marshall's support will need to gather these details before proceeding with a warranty claim, typically to have the speaker repaired and put into working order. Marshall offers a great 12-month warranty with service centers in the US. Alternatively, I would consider this a manufacturing defect, and if you are still within the return period, I would recommend an exchange with Best Buy if possible. Thank you Pamela, take care.

    I was debating between the white and black but I'm so happy I got the white one! The sound quality is excellent and overall the speaker is designed beautifully.

    I bought the brown version of this as a birthday present for my significant other. The color looks very high-end (possibly more than the black or white versions), and the fit and finish of the product are generally very good. The sound quality seems OK, although I think it's easy to do better for cheaper. You're definitely paying for the Marshall brand name and the looks of this unit. The bluetooth setup is somewhat cumbersome to use. One of our neighbors in an apartment complex apparently has the same model in a different color which may be contributing to the difficulty in pairing reliably.
