Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Marshall Action III Bluetooth Speaker is an all around great speaker. The retro styling is great for the garage or My Man cave. The sound is good from near and far The companion app to get started is one of the best I have seen. it literally took less than 30 seconds to pair and play. No issues what so ever. The ability to dial in your treble and bass to your liking directly on the machine is nice, especially when you are going to stream an certain band or concert. You set it and forget it. The same can also be done via the Marshall App. The base beats for the size of the box and the mid tones come through perfect. Like previously said I use mine in a 2 car garage when playing with my Mustang. and the sound fills the whole space without distortion. Same results in the Cave, 500 sq feet. The app will allow you to adjust your equalizer in case you are not near your box. The lights on the box actually change when increasing and decreasing levels. Placement compensation is a neat tool to ensure the best sound possible no matter the setting. Just a few questions and it is set. I could actually hear a difference when testing this feature and its options. On the fly updates through the app make sure your box is always up to date. The only down side to the almost perfect box is the fact that there is not an internal battery. It must be plugged in so it is not as versatile as it should be. but not a game changer for me. But did take away 1 star from rating. I would recommend this to family and friends.

The Marshall Acton III is a standout in its class. It pairs gorgeous design with seriously good audio performance. If you want a powerful “plug-in” speaker that looks as impressive as it sounds, this is a winner. I briefly owned a second-generation Stanmore, and in my opinion, it wasn’t tuned particularly well at low volumes. The Marshall Acton III, however, is a completely different experience. For someone like me who enjoys having music softly playing in the background, this speaker is tuned beautifully — the sound remains balanced, clear, and enjoyable even when played quietly. On top of that, the Acton III still has plenty of power when you want to turn it up, delivering crisp highs, warm mids, and tight bass. The retro design is classic Marshall — stylish enough to blend into any room while still making a statement. Overall, the Acton III feels like the perfect choice if you want a compact speaker that sounds just as good at low volume as it does when filling a room.

I never write reviews but this speaker is so good that I just had to. 10/10 recommend completely. The bass and treble are really good and the sound is so phenomenal that it feels like the music is being performed right in front of you. If you have doubts about this speaker, don’t because you will get your mind blown. For a small looking speaker it can really get to work in the sound department. Get it if you’re considering buying it.

The Marshall speaker is really good—great sound and easy to use anywhere. You can connect it at home, on the go, or even in your car. Stylish design with strong, clear audio every time.

Well worth the $$. I am extremely happy with the sound & ease of use. It looks extremely pretty, contrmporary, macho in just about any room of the house. I would gladly buy the exact same model if i ever needed to. Ive had it for the past 15 months. 05/2025. [It is only plug in type (no battery).

I bought the Acton III recently and absolutely love the audible quality it exherts. I have never been so satisfied purchasing a speaker that explodes your music while keeping the music playing crisp. I enjoy taking this outside in my back porch and play whatever the mood I am in. I do wish I could take it anywhere I could like a jobsite but you'll need somewhere to connect power. Overall, for the simplicity in design, the quality of material and most importantly the sound it delivers, I will not be going to any other brand such as JBL anytime soon.

this little speaker works so good sound is awsome its easy to use and looks beautiful

We really like the sound and look. Deep base, and clear high ends from a somewhat compact speaker. The form factor is the best part of this. First saw one of these at a boutique hotel but it didn’t work. Then an AirBnb had one so we got to really play with it. Overall, worth it to have a few good speakers in your home and this one both looks and sounds great!

As an amateur music lover, the Marshall Acton III has completely elevated how I enjoy music at home. The iconic Marshall design is a standout — vintage, stylish, and solidly built. Sound-wise, it’s honestly a game-changer. I may not be an audiophile, but everything I play sounds noticeably richer and more detailed. The bass is warm and balanced, vocals are crisp, and the overall sound feels immersive, no matter the genre — whether it’s acoustic, indie, or old-school rock. The setup was simple, and the Bluetooth connection is super reliable. I also love the physical knobs — they make fine-tuning the sound feel more personal. If you’re someone who truly enjoys music and wants a speaker that delivers both quality and character, the Acton III is absolutely worth it.

This is an overall amazing speaker. I love it so much I find myself needing to order another one. We use it for our records and now I want one for the other room so I don't go without this excellent sound. Plus it just has that classic look and it is so simple to set up with bluetooth!!

This is hands down my favorite purchase that I have bought the entire year. This speaker is a good medium size with bluetooth compatibility and I was so shocked when I first started playing it and the sound quality was SO GOOD. You can adjust the bass and you can hear sounds that youve never heard before. Who needs to go to a concert when you can just listen to this speaker?

I got this speaker for my small apartment and it works wonderfully. It fills the room with superb sound quality. Not only does it sound nice, but it is built beautifully. It is obvious that this speaker is built with quality materials and is designed to last a very long time. I also found that this speaker performs much better in small rooms vs big rooms, specially on the low end of the sound, I have experienced much more bass in smaller rooms, however this is expected. All in all, this is just such a high quality product and it is worth the price tag. For its size, this speaker has surprisingly good bass, great treble and gets more loud than you would probably need, just a great product.

The sound quality is great, with easy to use controls. The design is awesome. Marshall cabinet, enough said. The unit times out its connection after being left alone. This means you can walk away and not still have your audio connected. Simple toggle switch allows for easy/quick reconnection/connection.

Fantastic sound at low or high volume. I wanted something I could get some bass out of but still move around the house. This speaker has been fantastic for that. It does need to be plugged in, but it produces great sound.

I use this with the aux connection with my Sony record player and a Sony CD player (using RCA to aux adapter) Honestly I love the size and sound that comes out of this thing! I live in an apartment so I can't play it too loud but it's been pretty reliable in the few weeks I've had it Keep in mind the device needs to be plugged in to use, it's not a wireless speaker it needs a power source

Very timely service. Great sound quality and ease of use... I would highly recommend this unit and Best Buy!!

(I got the excellent open box) This is actually a great sounding speaker, i think its very comparable to the harman kardon onyx 7 but a little louder with less bass. Premium build quality, its the real deal. It looks good but i wish it haf a battery, i understand it wouldnt get as loud and would be more expensive. I keep coming back to onyx just because of the battery and portability. It is great to keep in a room and stay there. The bass distorts at almost to full volume. I would recommend for the 170 bucks i paid, i just dont know about the retail price.

I love this Marshall Acton III Bluetooth speaker. The sound is incredible, and it allows you to adjust the base and treble that enriches the sound experience. This speaker also looks great on your table or shelf. If you want a great sounding and loud Bluetooth speaker, then I highly recommend the Marshall Acton III.

Wow. That is all. Replaced an old Bose that docked with an original iPod. Yeah. That old. Looks great. Sounds even better.

Excellent quality sound. small and compact. Used as a give away for a sales conference and people really loved it
