    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.

      Hi Loki, the Acton III Bluetooth speaker offers Bluetooth ad 3.5mm aux inputs as connections. It isn't advertised to have WiFi or assistant integration. We love that you enjoyed the sound though, thank you for the feedback.

      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.

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

    A nice, perhaps over-simple, shelf speaker

    GOOD - Excellent overall sound quality - Amplifiers can deliver lots of volume without distortion - Uses standard power cable BAD - No advanced Bluetooth codec support - No Wi-Fi or network connection - Limited equalizer controls - Could use a carry handle - Aux input would be better in the back than on top TL/DR For those looking for a semi-permanent media speaker for their home, instead of a small portable speaker for everywhere else, the Marshall Action III is a simple and decent option. DETAILS The Marshall Action is a bit odd in the world of Bluetooth speakers as it's strictly AC powered from the wall instead of having a battery. While this makes it less than portable, it also means it's not limited in power draw. The large amps allow the speaker to get quite loud if you like while still having clear audio. It has a dedicated amp for the woofer while another amp feeds the two tweeters. At maximum volume it does distort somewhat, but it's rather unlikely you'll need it that loud. It's also nice the Action has an internal power supply and standard power cable instead of a special power brick adapter. Controls are simple. The power switch feels authoritative to flick on and off and the knobs up top feel solid. However this also limits the equalizer to simply treble and bass instead of having multiple frequency bands. The mobile application doesn't have any additional equalizer controls, only some settings for toggling where the speaker is placed ( makes slight audio processing changes if it's by a wall or near a ledge, but they're not very noticeable ). You can change volume from the app while using the auxiliary 3.5mm connector though, so that's nifty. The big downside is the lack of advanced wireless connection. While it handles Bluetooth 5.2, it doesn't have any sort of Wi-Fi or networking capabilities. You can't have it play directly from your home media library or from any streaming service. For Bluetooth it's limited to basic SBC codec and doesn't support AAC, aptX, LDAC, or anything else. The mobile app does allow the speaker firmware to be updated, so perhaps those features will be added in future, but until then it's just SBC Bluetooth and wired 3.5mm cables. Other nit-picks are the aux connection being on top of the speaker ( it really would be better on the back ) and the lack of any sort of a carry handle. While it doesn't have a battery, it's still small enough that you might move it around the house on occasion, and a handle would be helpful for that. Going along with that, the speaker has a a very nice size to it, being big enough to fit nice sound and power without being so large it needs its own dedicated shelf.

    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.

    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.
