Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've put my hands on various Marshall products at Best Buy over the years but I truly thought it was a marketing gimmick with no real prowess behind the insignia. Much to my surprise, I have to admit I was wrong. The Marshall - Kilburn II Portable Bluetooth Speaker is a quality piece of equipment. From the velvet lined handle, to the reinforced corners, to the feel of the knobs ... right down to the audio performance - this speaker was a complete surprise. As a preface summary, this speaker unit is in a league of it's own and shouldn't be confused with all those other 'pill' style speakers - which are cool products - but not nearly as powerful or long lasting. The knobs have a nice legacy Marshall feel to them. Beyond those controls, the LED battery indicator is large and functional. Pairing with my phone was quick and flawless. The rear port/speaker is probably the defining attribute with this box. Sound is loud, clear and comes through with an amazing about of spacial depth I thought impossible until I looked more closely at the porting at the rear of the speaker cabinet. Versus a handful of other Bluetooth speakers I've owned & tried, this one is distinctly Marshall in sound character. Some people may not like the staging of this beast compared to other speakers and those product attempts at 'wide' sound dispersion, but for an outdoor music blaster - this thing cuts through ambient stuff with solid fidelity and with an adequate about of sound staging ...like a Marshall should. Charging is relatively fast and I like the fact that the power cord has an IEC type plug instead of a barrel connector. I would make an educated guess that this was done to provide for a more solid power connection while using the speaker plugged in and for wear & tear longevity. Nice touch Marshall. Battery life is outstanding at moderate listening levels and I've repeatedly surpassed the rated spec of 20 hours. 2.5 hours to fully charge is not a lot to ask for a device that lasts this long and the 30 minute quick-charge feature is handy. The aptX 5.0 hardware is a nice compatibility facet for the future. Luckily my current mobile device support this new specification. Range easily exceeds 30 ft, around corners/through walls and I haven't noticed any dropped or choppy connections during playback. This thing is loud, so be prepared for a lot of gain in the volume range. Bass and treble seem a tad bit limited but then again, I've not used this unit long enough to have it run through a proper break-in period. The treble control has enough head-room to cut through the din of noise when used outside with that little bit of extra 'slice'. Bass is punchy but doesn't rattle the chassis at full bore. We'll have to see how the construction holds up over time and after the drivers loosen up a bit. A solid design throughout. You've done good Marshall!

Definitely would recommend and purchase again if I had to do it all over. Sound quality is amazing and so much better than comparable Bose speaker that a friend of mine owns.

Sounds good and last a decent amount of time. Wish it had type c charging instead of a reg cable. I mainly use it in my vehicle so if it is low on battery I have to wait to get home to charge it. Type c would allow in vehicle charging.

Great sound for a portable unit. I purchased this for outside during the summer by the river, but as summer is over, I started using it indoors to listen to music.

Was a little worried about the sound but not disappointed, sounds incredible, like that you can control the base out of the speaker manually I really recommend it

Picked up for my dads bday he loves it and it’s quite heavy for a speaker that’s meant to be taken on the go that’s probably the only thing negative about it.

I really enjoy the deep and full sound of the Kilburn II. I bought one for my dad and it’s easy controls are perfect for him. I got the burgundy one...very cool!

Great product, nice and loud and really amazing sound! I would reccomend this product to anyone looking for a quality blutooth speaker.

One of the best Bluetooth speakers I own along with the Marshall Emberton. I highly recommend both of them, also great on battery.

the sound was clear but to low at the max power, but the real problem was his connectivity issue when its was played when you skip the next song its disconnect because it loose the bt signal I don't know why.. believe maybe was mi iPhone but then do the same with an android and finally return it..

Sound is awesome and the power was very surprising for something so small. I’ve tried many Bluetooth speakers such as this and this is one of the best!

The sound quality is outrageous big shaker quality . we take this speaker out by the pool, campsite . small enough to be toted around

It is my new best friend at home, in the kitchen, in the garden during the grill party, in the living room, everywhere. Great sound!

Sounds good. Like the handle. not sure if I enjoy the size but getting used to it. Replaced another BT speaker I would take on my travels. I miss walking in stores to check out what I want to buy...

Excellent sound quality, I'm very satisfied with it, The only improvement that should be considered is a remote control,

Love the sound quality of this Marshall speaker as well as the classic look and feel ! Great product that I highly recommend !

This speaker is perfect for listen to music on my back porch. Like all Marshall amps, crank it to 8 or the police will be called.

My son loves this for his X-Mass present. He get a lot of use form it. The sound quality is awesome.

JUST THE BEST BLUETHOOTH SPEAKER I HAVE EVER PURCHASE. NO BULLsH@#T!!!

I purchased this speaker to use while outdoors and I'm glad I spent a little extra on a Marshall product. Excellent quality and sound!
