Posted .Hi Jay, thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you had issues with the Acton III Bluetooth, that is definitely not the user experience we strive to provide. Did you get a new speaker or return it for a refund? We hope you will try a Marshall speaker again in the future.

Posted .Thank you so much for your review on the Acton III. I personally use mine for listening to Vinyl records, the clarity is amazing. I agree that this speaker is good for small spaces if you are listing to modern music as it does lack the size of say the Stanmore III or the Woburn III, which means the bass response will be a bit less, but for certain genres such as classic rock, classical, jazz, and indie - this speaker can fill a room quite well with a very accurate sound. Perhaps for more modern tracks that include a lot of subbass, one of the larger models will be better for larger spaces. Take care Miguel! If using the Acton III for Vinyl, I recommend getting an RCA to 3.5mm adapter.

In a premium league of it's own
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Very nice bluetooth speaker that can fill a room
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .Hi, thanks for sharing this. We're sorry to hear about this issue.
Bluetooth dropouts are usually caused by a few key things: range, interference, or a pairing issue. For the best stability, keep your phone within about 1 to 3 meters of the speaker during testing, as going beyond that or having walls, furniture, or people between devices can weaken the signal.
Interference from WiFi routers, microwaves, or multiple active Bluetooth devices nearby can also cause brief disconnects, so it’s worth testing in a different room or turning off other nearby wireless connections where possible.
It also helps to fully remove the speaker from your Bluetooth list, restart your phone, and then re-pair from scratch to clear any old connection data. If the speaker has been switching between multiple devices, that can sometimes cause instability too, so testing with just one device connected at a time is ideal.
If the issue still continues after that, it’s worth trying a different phone or laptop to see if the behavior repeats, which helps narrow down whether it’s device-specific.

Not a Bluetooth speaker like I thought.

Posted .Hi there, thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the Acton III was not the right fit for your expectations.
The Acton III is designed as a larger home speaker intended for stationary indoor use, rather than a portable speaker. It supports Bluetooth connectivity but does not include a built-in battery or wireless charging.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, as feedback like this helps other customers better understand the product before purchasing.

Awesome and stylish speaker
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

No Warranty. Do not buy it from Best Buy
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

little speaker got the beats
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
