Customer Ratings & Reviews

Better than the original Kilburn. A handy portable Bluetooth speaker.

Good audio quality for a small room. Dual bluetooth and bass is a killer

Compact to take along easy to carry. Good sound too

Although the sound was good for its size, unfortunately my speaker was not turning on. I had to return it, and I owned the previous version of it the bigger one. I’m not sure what happened usually never let me down.

Great sound and very portable. Very happy with purchase.

Long battery life, clear music and 2 ways to listen to your favorite tunes.

Great bass! Thought would be a little louder. Battery life is very good too! No regrets!

I wanted a Bluetooth speaker and found the Marshall Kilburn II at Best buy. Normally I would not buy it without hearing it, but took a chance after reading the other reviews. I am very pleased with the sound of the speaker and the battery has lasted about 20 hours just as advertised.

Bluetooth speaker arrived in good order, charged as expected and was the star performer at a family camp out by the lake the next week. We did not time the 20 hour battery capacity but the box spent a good deal of time over several days cranked up and rocking out! Good buy!

Very good speaker... would have liked it to be more water-resistant... but over all great speaker

This is the 3rd Marshall Bluetooth speaker I’ve owned... NOT disappointed! It doesn’t have the stout volume of the largest Marshall Speaker I have but it is great for every day listening. The rechargeable battery holds its charge really well.

Love the sound this little speaker puts out. I take it everywhere and use it everyday since I’m retired. It quit working 11 months in and it was quickly and pleasantly replaced under warranty by Marshall.

It’s not as good as I thought it would be compared to others the same price

The Kilburn II is a stylish portable speaker that produces high quality sound. The Kilburn II has two inputs, bluetooth and line, and has both bass and treble controls. A bass port on the rear produces high quality lows. A large battery allows approximately 20 battery hours of operation when unplugged. I tried the Kilburn II with both my IPhone 7 and Galaxy Note 8 in bluetooth and with the line in from the Note 8. Both phone paired easily and produced very good sound and volume. However, when connected to the Note 8 with line in, both the volume and sound were even better. I did not test the battery to its limits, but I used it for over 12 hours without power. The Kilburn II is ideal for anyone looking for an easy to use, high quality portable speaker with style and excellent battery life.

Better than what I expected. It’s probably I played country rap and Christian music through it. It sounded excellent.If you’re looking for a great portable speaker, don’t look any further.

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.
