Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very aesthetic and fits in rooms where you want a accent piece. This product will do. Very nicr sound and bass fills up the room. Love it!

It’s good for a small space and sounds great with vinyl records! Being able to change the treble and the bass is really nice.

Easy to setup and connect with my turntable. The style looks good.

that is a incredible speaker its not portable but if you want to place the speaker in specific spot it gonna be the best choose to get this speaker its loud really loud

Decent sound quality and good looks. It works well with the Audio Technica turntables.

Decent speaker. Sounds pretty good. Not worth the price though imo.

It’s amazing. I absolutely love this item. I think it’s a little pricy for not being portable

This is the best speaker that I had. The ability to balance the bass and treble is superb.

Sound quality is amazing, can never go back to my TV speakers.

Amazing speaker for the price I love it allot a competitive device

The best speakers are the most expensive ones and I think the most important

Looks great, sounds pretty good but the Bluetooth is terrible. The speaker is set on a counter top less than 20ft away, but with iPhone or MacBook the sound constantly breaks up. Only when the speaker is within 10ft then it work fine.

Who doesn’t love great-sounding speakers? A set with strong bass and treble that can really cut through, without either being too heavy or sharp in the mix. This Marshall Acton III speaker – yes, Marshall, the guitar amplifier company – is something that fits that bill to a tee. Did I mention it’s no bigger than a lunchbox? This speaker can fill an entire room – heck, an entire house practically – with bright tonality and a wide sound-stage while providing *substantial* low-end response for its size. I’ll start by saying, as a guitar and bass player myself, this Marshall Bluetooth speaker really intrigued me. I’ve played a handful of Marshall Amps throughout the years, and they have built some of the best speakers and cabinets around. So, it made sense in my mind that they should also make a solid-sounding Bluetooth speaker. And out of the box, this looks like a mini amplifier. I really dig the detail they put into making this look like any other one of their guitar amplifier cabinets, just shrunken down. Before we go any further, if you’re looking for a battery-powered portable Bluetooth speaker, this is not the one for you. The Marshall Emerton models would be the ones you’re looking for. For the price of having to plug in the unit for power, you get an incredible amount of low-end/bass. When you first power this thing on and connect it to your phone or tablet’s Bluetooth, it’ll prompt you to download the Marshall Bluetooth app. This app will let you adjust the bass and treble levels of the amp, and the changes are reflected in real-time on the amp’s led volume level indicators around the knobs. It was nice while working in my home office not to have to go across the room to make any small tweaks to the sound profile. The app also features a rather rudimentary calibration option that adjusts the sound based on where you’ve placed the speaker, however, rather than using a microphone to ‘scan’ its surroundings, you simply answer a series of questions about the placement of the speaker. Overall, other than a very small number of other features, the app is pretty limited. Once I started playing music on this little Acton, I could barely believe my ears. So, you know how an ant can carry something like 100x its body weight? That’s this little amp, so to speak. This amp that’s no bigger than a lunchbox, or small toolbox, puts out outrageous, simply incomprehensible levels of bass. I’ve read reviews elsewhere that the bass can distort at higher volumes, but I haven’t personally experienced that. From rock and alternative to hip-hop and rap, this can handle it and then some. If you’re like me and have a portable CD player lying around still, you can plug it in through the aux port and listen to some (nearly) lossless audio. The same applies if you have any other device with a 3.5mm out port. I’m pleased to announce that this little speaker lives up to the Marshall name. I’m keeping it in my home office/music room where I have several guitars and amps housed already, and it looks perfectly at home. I think this would also look perfectly at home on anyone’s bookshelf or dresser. The fact that it’s a cool little conversation starter is one thing. The fact that it can rock the block is another. I would definitely recommend this speaker to anyone looking for something less than a big bulky stereo or bookshelf speaker system because I do think this can meet the needs, and then some, of most people.

Out of the box, Acton III was a breeze to set up. Speaker appeared right away on my phone as I flipped the large power switch, a truly plug-and-play speaker. Have been using the older Acton II Voice consistently since its inception in 2019. Although lacking a voice assistant, the Action III’s sound is noticeably improved compared to the Acton II. This makes sense considering Acton III’s improved frequency response range of 45Hz to 20Khz. On the website, the speaker is marketed to have a “wider soundstage than its predecessor”. This holds true with my experience. This speaker can get LOUD! At max volume, the 30-watt woofer fills my whole house with deep, resonating bass. Dynamic loudness kicks in at higher volumes and adjusts the balance of the sound to keep it sounding excellent. Bluetooth connection reaches across my house, through multiple walls with no issue as well. Subtle visual changes are present with the third generation. Most noticeable being the subdued speaker grill cloth and addition of a track navigation knob. Track selector allows one to play, pause, and switch songs with ease. Those with earlier generations of the Acton speaker will be familiar with the top panel of controls. A 3.5mm input, source indicator and button are on the left. Volume, bass, and treble knobs are centered with red LED indicators from 0-10. Track selector and beefy power switch on the right, all of which resemble Marshall’s retro amps. Another upgrade with the Acton III is the addition of Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity and compatibility with Bluetooth LE (Low Energy) Audio. According to the Bluetooth website, Bluetooth LE provides higher quality audio at low data rates. Few devices are currently able to take advantage of this new technology, yet Marshall is paving the way for the next generation of Bluetooth audio. Marshall Bluetooth App allows for fine-tuning of the speaker with bass and treble controls, placement compensation, and firmware updates. Placement compensation asks if the speaker is close to an edge or wall, then corrects for these reflective surfaces to “keep your music sounding great” according to the app. I personally cannot tell a noticeable difference in sound between the options. Speaker shipped with latest firmware from the factory. Designed to reflect classic Marshall amplifiers, the Acton III both looks and sounds incredible while being futureproof for years to come.

I have a few speakers and use them a lot for ambient music while cooking or on the back deck with friends where I want some music but not a 5.1 surround sound club feel... and really I don't need anymore speakers but the Marshall Acton III is just so visually stunning...Rock & Roll Americana and mystique with the classic Marshall box leather look and the "just right colored " gold knobs... and of course that classic "Marshall" font name across the front....I just couldn't walk passed it. I play guitar and the name Marshall really carried some weight with me...I was dying to hear how it sounded. Opened up the box and really love the marketing so cool and sleek...pulled it out and plugged it in and turned it on. The knobs have red checks to show you where the volume is set...just really cool looking...Gorgeous really...It is going to be a conversation piece to be sure at get togethers. Like I said...You walk by it...you stop and take a stare! But has to have the sound right. When I began to pair it, it prompted my phone to get the app....super easy.. I did and it immediately paired seamlessly. BAM! I was off and running. I started with some Queen Bohemian Rhapsody for the treble and highs and I was BLOWN AWAY! its such a dynamic song that will run a speaker through the paces from bass to highs and really lets me get a feel for what I have available to me in a sound profile...JUST AMAZING!!! Felt like Freddy was in the room with me. It was surprising how well balanced the sound was from one speaker!!!! Next was Queen's "Another one Bites the Dust"... That bass line is such a classic and the Acton III did it proud. I decided to run some old school rap...ICE cube's "Check Yo Self" and "It Was a Good Day" and It handled the heavy bass and sounded amazing!!! For the next 2 hours just ran through all my songs...They sounded so amazing!!!!! TOP TIERE SOUND!!!! Like most things...My wife rolled her eyes when I said I got the Marshal Acton III...UNTIL she heard me testing it....She was next to me in a second and wanted to connect her phone... Which was super easy. I pressed the bluetooth button for a few seconds and her phone saw it immediately and she was playing her favorite songs. It's really cool because we are both connected at the same time. I also like that if I have a song playing she cannot interrupt it until I pause what I am playing. Once I pause what I am playing...boom she on it with what ever she wants. Really cool!!! I was hoping that more than two could connect so when I have friends over we could take turns DJ'ing but a las...only two people...Maybe next gen?? The app is cool and very convenient for adjusting the bass and treble and volume when you are away from the speaker... I like to actually turn the knobs...they are velvet smooth and firm enough to micro adjust...butter. When adjusting with the knob the app shows the number and vice versa. The aux in a nice touch...I might try to get a guitar plugged into it one of these days with some adapters to down size the plug! Overall though (despite being the sexiest speaker I have ever seen) the sound is really the winner...It sounds like what you know or would imagine a Marshall speaker would sound....world class! Note: This has the AC plug so consider that if you want to decoratively put on a shelf. That's the only real problem I have ...Where to put this beauty?? Kitchen cabinet? Book shelf in the living room???? I just don't know! Probably why I will buy another one. 5 Stars because I can't give it 6 on here!!! Rock and Roll!
