Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!!

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.

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

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 was looking for bluetooth speaker for my living room.. This speaker looks nice but has a rich full 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

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.

This is the best speaker ive ever heard of its kind & approxinate size. Its an AC only indoor speaker. No battery, not waterproof. If you wact a more portable chargeble speaker in this style the Kilbourn is the right choice. This Acton 3 improves upon the Acton 2 that I also own. For me the best advantage is that when using the aux input it doesbt go to sleep forcing me to press the button like on the Acton 2. I have both wired to an Echo Dot as part of of my whole home music system(or if i simply want to belt out a tune from a single speaker) and for using Alexa as well. The Acton 3 sounds a little better too but both sound fine to my ears. This latest version is smoother, less fatigueing without giving up clarity or bass. It also seems to have a larger soundstage, quite impressive fir its size. Im not claiming massive improvements, yet I appreciate what theyve done. All in all as good as the first 2 editiins are this one is even more fun. My only gripe is picky. I wish it was a darker brown. Looks great yet i feel it woukd look best in dark brown. This is more of a saddle brown. That said my Acton 2 is in black and i like that one best in black and the Acton 3 in brown althiugh all the colors ive seen look decent enough. I own several other AC bluetooth speakers with Aux in such as the Fluance Fi50, GGMM M3, Klipsch the One 2, Echo Studio(original), Tewell, Electrohome, and more and the Acton 3 is the best in my opinion in both sound and looks. Highly recommend.

Bought it for a birthday gift for my daughter and she loves the sound and the look of it!!

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.

(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.

Really good sound good size , amazing volume bass incredible

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.

Loving this speaker. The sound quality is amazing. It fills the room and has a subwoofer kinda hole in the back that packs a lott of punch.

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

Wow. I've been all over the place searching for a good, powerful bluetooth speaker to plant next to my record player. I kept wanting Bose but kept getting put off by the cost and the recent look. I'd rather a retro boxy sort of tivolo aesthetic. I got this because it was worth a shot, on a sale and the return policy is so good. Looks: It looks and feels seriously authentic. This is not a cheap plastic modeling of a Marshall amp-- this is just a mini one with modern bells and whistles. It's SIGNIFICANT in weight the way a steel digital SLR feels compared to a newer plastic one. It's got the heft, the quality of the leather is the same as a concert one. It's not getting scuffed easily, it's not going to break anytime soon. I LOVE it. The highlighted digital lights on the top are red. the volume dial has red lights showing the music levels. the toggle buttons for on and off admittedly makes the music nerd in me way too excited for that analog feel. And the sound? YES! This thing has some serious power. I love the treble/bass levels you can adjust-- simple and just enough for something in this price point-- and no messy apps to manage it. It is right in front of you like the way you want it to be. But I feel like Marshall really has one up on Bose for this price range-- it really feels like a legit concert in your house. With zero tinittis flaring (elder millennial here) from dissonance. With the bass fully up it's a perfect balance of CLEAN sound but just a LITTLE dirty bass to really make it so powerful like a full stack right by the pit at a show. Love it. So glad I went with it. Easily the best speaker I have. I would never dream in a million years my turntable is transmitting my records via bluetooth to this speaker. It's as awesome sounding as my dad's Fischer receiver and speakers from the 70's. that's saying something.

The sound is remarkable - especially for a compact box! Fear not, the sound is rich with depth and breadth. Bass, mid, and treble are excellent and the free Marshall app gives easy control of bass and treble along with volume from the app. Of course, the box also has old school controls on top as well if you prefer to adjust them that way. The box is beautifully crafted as well - nothing about it is or looks cheap. But it also doesn’t shout out “hey, look at me!” like some. It hits above its weight and price category. Did I mention it was extremely easy to set up out of the box? I just plugged it in, turned it on, paired it to my phone and that was that. Perhaps you can tell it surpassed my expectations (and they were pretty high). If youre looking for a small speaker with fantastic sound, look no further.
