Best in class, Great audio quality, impressive low end

We’re really jamming out with are new wireless speaker

I like Marshall speakers but i thought it would have had a little more bass in this particular one for the price range.

This is my first Marshall product. I was in the market for a bluetooth speaker. I live in a 650 square foot apartment and needed something to stream audio without disturbing the neighbors. There are so many types out there but portability wasn't on my list so I was looking for something that blended in well and sounded good. The sound quality is very good on this speaker. Excellent highs and good lower end especially for it's size. It's also quite louder than I expected with clean distortion free sound. What I didn't know was just how much I would enjoy the design. This is so cool. Real high quality lighting, knobs and switches. The exterior is a leather material. This is a see it to understand type product. It just screams high quality and brings on retro vibes of old where everything wasn't made of cheap plastics and design wasn't an afterthought. The bluetooth connection works fine on IOS and Android. The app is useful but I found myself not using it much because you will enjoy getting out of the chair to manually make adjustments, see the light meters and turn the dials and switches. It's well worth the cost especially in an apartment or office type environment.

The Marshal Action III Bluetooth Speaker is a great "little" wireless speaker. Not only will it connect via bluetooth but you can connect it to devices using a 3.5mm jack on the auxiliary port. The size itself is not all that big but it has a good weight to it. It really does fill the room. I primarily use it in the bedroom. The room size is about 300 square feet. The sound does not get distorted as you increase the volume. It stays clean. The sound does not get distorted. I have it in the corner and on the app you can set the location of where it is in the room. I guess the app will adjust some of the sounds coming out depending on its placement. All the controls are on one side. It has knobs for treble, bass, and volume. It has the on/off switch, back, forward, play/pause button. It’s laid out really nice. Any changes from the physical controls will update on the app and vice versa. The app is easy to use although I’m not even sure if it’s necessary. I guess it’s for controlling the speaker remotely. What I love most on the app is you do not need to create an account to use the app. This is optional. Overall, this is a nice looking, well-built speaker. I recommend it.

Between fedex loding the prpduct then bestbuy refuding to honor their price on the open box purchase i have lost all faith in best buys customer service and will definitely not recommrned them

IT WAS NEVER DELIVERED AND BEST BUY KNOWS IT. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE

No Warranty. Do not buy it from Best Buy. The speaker stopped working within one year of purchase. Best Buy told me that unless I purchased Geek squad membership, they won’t provide any kind of warranty or support. I need to contact manufacturer. This is an extra cost on customers pocket. Rather buy everything from manufacturers. Never going back to Best Buy for anything.

Been using this speaker for a couple weeks now. I have it sitting in my whiskey bar because I feel it matches the aesthetics and vibe I am going with and here's my review. Sound 5/5 This speaker sounds amazing and it is loud and has great bass. I had some friends over and played music through this speaker and it can be heard throughout the whole house. My friends were amazed on how much sound can come out of it. the vocals are clear, mids sound balance and bass is definitely present but not overbearing which I prefer. I am not a bass head. My focus on music is voice and instrumental clarify which is definitely is present. There is also knobs to adjust bass ands treble. Capabilities & portability 3/5 There's not much else to do with the speaker other than set it in a certain spot and leave it there. It is wired so you have to keep it close to an outlet and there's not many other bells and whistles with the speaker either. It connects via bluetooth or auxiliary cable and the Marshall app is very limited with what you can do. Through the app you can modify treble and bass, change songs, change volume, change source and some options for room placement. But overall very solid speaker and connects easily to any device. Aesthetics/Quality This speaker looks amazing and gives off a sort of vintage speaker vibe. Also the quality of materials feel premium and has a good solid weight to it. The speaker houses a tweeter and 4 inch woofer and Marshall is known for their quality speakers. It is a bit pricey but I feel it is a must have for any household and can fit any room in the house.

When I see the Marshall name, I think crunchy distorted guitar and stacks of 4x12 speaker cabinets 4 units high and 25 or so units wide, blasting a Kirk Hammett, Jeff Hanneman, or Eddie Van Halen guitar solo to a stadium with 40,000+ that paid for seats they never used. So imagine my surprise when I see they make Bluetooth speakers. They’re styled like miniature versions of their amps and speaker cabinets. While they’re surprisingly light for their size, they punch above their weight class. The model I received is the Action III. It’s small - about 10 inches wide, 5 inches deep, and 6 inches tall with its feet. It requires mains power, so it’ll sit in your study, kitchen, or bedroom and probably not move. The most noticeable thing about the Action III is how solid the switchgear feels - a heavy toggle that feels like it came off an actual Marshall amp, buttons for playback controls and pairing that feel substantial, and knobs that feel like solid analog knobs (though they’re all rotary encoders with red LED indicators to show you volume, treble, and bass levels). Unboxing was easy enough, with molded cardboard around the speaker unit itself. Pairing was straightforward on my iPhone. Once done, you’ll want to download the Marshall Bluetooth app - which, as an absolute win, does not require an email address to function. The app allows you to adjust treble and bass response, along with wall and shelf compensation. Audio quality is remarkably good - solid treble and incredibly deep bass response for its size. It also gets very loud, though bass does distort at higher volumes - expected for the amplifier power (1x30 for the woofer and 2x15 for the tweeters). Everything I threw at it - NOFX’s “Don’t Count On Me”, TI and Rihanna’s “Live Your Life”, Mighty Mighty Bosstones’”Wonderful Day for a Race”, Avenge Sevenfold’s “Thick and Thin”, Yo-yo Ma’s rendition of Bach’s Unaccompanied Cello Suite, Pompeii’s rendition of Roberta Flack’s “Killing Me Softly”, and the Charles Mingus Band’s rendition of “Moanin’”. What was most surprising was clean the instruments sounded - you could hear hear the different parts of horn sections, guitars sounded like they should, and even a baritone sax “honk” sounded like the musician was in the room. Only real negative? This speaker isn’t portable. But that’s okay because it wasn’t meant to be. Also, it could be considered pricy compared to other options but you won’t get this amount of quality sound in a package this small. And if it wasn’t for the control app not requiring an email to work, I would subtract a star for the lack of AirPlay, Chromecast, Sonos, or other wifi speaker tech. It’s a solid value for a smaller listening space, no matter what genre of music you like. The lack of wifi audio doesn’t subtract enough from a quality aural and app experience to not give this 5 stars.

Hello, friends! This is my review of the Marshall Acton III Bluetooth Speaker. First off the box that it arrived in was badly damaged. However, the fine folks at BB double-boxed it. So the inner box was only slightly damaged and the speaker was in perfect condition. The unboxing experience was nice. Marshall did a good job with the packaging. The design of the box does a great job of protecting the speaker. The Marshall Acton III Bluetooth Speaker is very easy to set up and get connected. Within 3 minutes I was able to enjoy music streaming from this speaker. Handling this speaker, you quickly realize its build quality. This speaker is built like Marshall builds their amps. It has a nice leather wrap on the body that gives a clean look. The controls on top of the unit are solid and feel like a guitar amp knob. The on-off switch is also so much heavier than a regular run-of-the-mill Bluetooth speaker. The weight of the speaker when lifted lets you know that it is not hollow inside. Instead, it has a large speaker and a powerful amp to drive it. With that said, how does it sound? The Acton III sounds to me like a Marshall guitar amp. This little guy is only 6 inches tall and 10 inches wide. But I really am surprised by how much sound it can deliver. It can get loud and proud no problem. It also delivers big-time sound quality. The bass is rich and full, not even a hint of cracking at high volumes either. The speaker is rear ported which helps small speakers in the lower frequencies. I'm not sure how Marshall did it, but they made this speaker sound much larger than it is. Bass is not the only trick for this speaker, the mids and highs are clean, crisp, and balanced. I didn't get any one area of the sound that seemed too bright or harsh. So far everything I have listened to thru this speaker has sounded great. Almost as if I were listening to a speaker 3-4 times its size. I keep mentioning the size because Marshall did such a great job on the amp with this thing. The Acton III is capable of adjusting the treble and base to your liking. Once again, the knobs are high quality with little LED's that light up as you move them. Looks very nice to me and has smooth interaction. There is only one thing that could make this Bluetooth speaker better and that would be 2 speakers for stereo sound. I reached out to Marshall and asked if this speaker could be paired with another to play the same thing. The reply is that it's not capable of playing 2 speakers together right now, but they are thinking about adding that capability in the future with a software update to the app. I really like this Bluetooth speaker. The Marshall Acton III Bluetooth Speaker is enjoyable to listen to and makes my back porch rock! Would I recommend it to a friend? Yes, a big yes! If you need a portable speaker that sounds like a Marshall amp, then you should look no further.
