Easy to setup. Little bit hassles on update the software. Nice looking.

Distortion at the upper edges of all frequencies. Sounds like broken tweeters. This is my 2nd Marshall Acton. I returned the 1st because of the raspy rattling. Thinking I had bought a defective speaker, I returned the first speaker, bought the second only to find it also was raspy in the same way. Beware!

Small speaker with big sound. I'm glad I bought it.

The Acton II by Marshall is a very old school looking device with real attention to detail. The manual knobs on top let you control the basic features: volume, treble, bass; the app lets you control equalizer settings as well as connecting other Marshall units for a whole home system. From this small unit, the sound is quite immense and enveloping, even in the largest room in my house (20'x30') at 50% fills the room with bass. At full volume, the sound is not distorted and still rich. It packs in the sound of a 70's turntable entertainment console into the look of a tabletop radio of the era. Once you download the app, it requests an update to the unit that takes about 10 minutes, after which the app allows you to unlock the equalizer settings among other lighting and connecting settings. I noticed little difference with the equalizer settings, though the sound is still great either way. The Bluetooth connectivity is quite secure even beyond 30 ft. I'm so used to portable speakers with built-in batteries that I was a little surprised this needed to be plugged in to work. It's still quite portable and at least you won't have to worry about how much battery is left.

Even though the majority of the time this Marshall Acton II stays in the living room, I love the sound so much that I will sometimes unplug it and take it with me to my work out room or my bedroom. Let's beginning with the looks of this magnificent bluetooth speaker. It has a very classic design that will fit well with most decor. It has the look and feel of an amp. In order for this bluetooth speaker to work, you will need to download their app onto your device(s). From there it is very easy to pair up and also where the fun begins. Once you turn it on and adjust the bass and treble to your liking, you will be amazed by the sound that this speaker produces. As I mentioned before, I love the sound so much that I will take it with me to other parts of the house. The app is very easy to navigate and you can you use it to customize your speaker. Our neighbor came over and immediately noticed it and is considering getting one of their own once he heard the sound that came out of this Marshall speaker. If you are looking for a speaker that won't take up alot of space and produce great sound, you should consider getting the Marshall Acton II speaker.

Good sound by Marshall!! It's not portable speaker but the sound quality is very nice at home.

Gave to husband for Christmas gift and he loves it. He had seen it somewhere when he was traveling and heard the great sound and wanted one. Great quality.

I don't know if perhaps I just got a bad unit but the sound is unimpressive, especially for speech which is totally unintelligible. I like the look and the fact that the Bluetooth can be actively connected to 2 devices at once, but the sound is totally unacceptable to me. Will be returning this speaker.

Its not portable when i think Bluetooth i think it can go anywhere with me but it can't because it needs to be plugged in

Extremely impressed. Solidly built, looks like a miniature Marshall amp head. Getting it set up was slightly troublesome, the Quick-Start Guide was almost useless except for providing the App and Web Site needed. Once there, set-up was a breeze. Bluetooth connectivity to my Android phone and ASUS laptop was quick and worked perfectly. The sound is amazing for a small speaker, good bass, treble and channel separation. Volume is another plus. This gets loud. App's graphic EQ and multiple EQ options allow tailoring to the room or music being listened to. Overall, very much impressed with this speaker. One gripe, since it's an AC powered speaker, a USB port to allow plugging in a phone/MP3 player would be a big plus. Otherwise, no issues. Well Done Marshall.

This is an amazing speaker and the look of it is honestly so great! Makes my home feel amazing. Worth the money and the price!

Although the sound was great, the unit crapped out after 8 months and died. Will not buy again.

This speaker is the best. It's honestly really loud and I wasn't expecting it to be. quality is fantastic and you can adjust the bass, treble etc. it is pretty boxy and does need to be plugged in the whole time but it connects to bluetooth easily. It's a nice look alive to older radios. Highly recommend.

Speaker is very complicated to connect with other equipment

Bought this for my friend's birthday, and he loves it. Great product, great sound quality.

I’ve tested the Marshall Action II for about 15 hours and here are some of my reactions. First, the Marshall Action II Bluetooth speaker is NOT a portable speaker. You have to have the speaker plugged into a power source. If you’re looking for a portable Bluetooth speaker, than this is not the product for you. If portability is not a concern for you, then you’re going to LOVE this speaker. It looks incredibly sleek, just like a miniature version of a speaker you would see at a concert. Marshall has an app that you have to download to control volume from you phone (I’m not a fan of requiring an app download to control volume). Let’s talk about the sound. The most important feature of any speaker is sound and this speaker delivers. The Marshall Action II gets REALLY loud. It will fill your room with sound no problem. Rock music comes through really clean. I was most impressed by how much bass their is. For a small speaker, you can actually feel some thumping at middle range bass. Which leads to another cool feature. You can manually control bass and treble directly on the speaker. Want to feel thumping? Crank the bass to 10. It’s nice to have options based on your sound preference. Overall, if you’re looking for a speaker to fill up a room with sound, I would highly recommend the Marshall Action II.

Unfortunately im unhappy Unfortunately im unhappy Unfortunately im Unfortunately im unhappy

A nice speaker when it worked. It stopped working in less than a year and searches about the issue show that it is a common occurrence with no fix.

Built Quality was not up to the mark-loose thread mesh. Sound quality is good but the speaker is very very heavy and not portable at all.

Awesome wireless speakers, connected through bluetootu
