Customer Ratings & Reviews

Marshall is good quality sound system used for music .. I like the vibe of music that this speaker produced

Pretty loud and the bass is deep and defined Love the vintage look and long range battery charge

Nixw looking and great sounding speaker. Battery lasts a long time.

Class A quality. Sound is beyond this world for whats needed.

I think it sounds very similarly to the Action 3, but it's now portable and can be used to charge other things.

Excellent quality! Exactly as described and great product.

I've been using the Kilburn III since the day it was released, and as someone who enjoys listening to different speakers and has owned numerous brands over the years, I can confidently say it serves its intended purpose very well. This is a portable Bluetooth speaker designed for casual, everyday listening—perfect for those times when you don't feel like powering up your receiver, big speakers, and subwoofer. It's ideal for listening around the house when you just want something that sounds good without requiring critical attention. Its portability is a major plus. It’s splash-proof, making it a great companion for backyard poolside sessions or workouts in the garage gym. It easily fills a 400 sq ft space with clear sound and decent bass. In larger outdoor areas, as you move farther away, the bass naturally diminishes—typical of speakers with smaller woofers. Increasing the volume helps a bit, but this speaker isn't designed for critical listening at a distance beyond 12 feet. As for the bass, the 4-inch driver delivers what you'd expect; nothing earth-shattering, but respectable. Depending on the track, bass performance ranges from very good to average, and occasionally just acceptable. The 360-degree sound coverage is effective, delivering clear audio from both the front and back. The dual 2-inch full-range drivers do a surprisingly solid job handling high frequencies—I never felt the need to adjust the treble on any track I played. Battery life is impressive—up to 50 hours—and it doubles as a power bank. I tested it with a USB-C cable, and my Samsung Galaxy reported it was fast charging, which is a fantastic bonus. While there appear to be screws on the bottom to access the battery, I haven't needed to open it. Bluetooth connectivity has been flawless in my experience. I also appreciate the old-school analog knobs and buttons, complete with light indicators. There's even a physical switch to skip to the next track, which was especially convenient when my phone was charging in another room. Aesthetically, it's a winner. It looks great on the countertop, and my wife hasn’t once complained about it being near her decor—high praise in itself. Overall, the Kilburn III is a stylish, premium portable speaker that blends beautifully into home decor, delivers quality sound at moderate distances (up to 6–8 feet), offers long battery life, doubles as a power bank, and brings a nostalgic, tactile user experience.

Good features, easy to use, expected it to be a little louder but overall happy with the purchase

Best Purchase per price it is a value pruchase definitely worth it

This is an interesting bluetooth speaker. Most bluetooth speakers are kind of bland and don’t have much character. This Marshall speaker actually has a personality and some style with that distinct Marshall look. It’s on the larger side but the size allows for loud, punchy sound that can easily fill a large room as well as plenty of volume to work outside like on a patio. It has a very nice feeling leather (maybe faux leather?) strap to carry it around but it doesn’t appear that it can be removed. I would have liked to have that option but you can always rotate the strap back to hide it. Sound quality and the sound profile is pretty distinct on Marshall speakers. I’ve owned, and still own quite a few and while I like the “signature Marshall” sound for the most part, I’ve always felt like it was a little tinny on the high end, even while reducing treble. This speaker seems to have a tweaked sound profile to eliminate some of the harsher highs that I’ve experienced before and I literally have no complaints about it now. I think they’ve done a great job at refining the sound profile and it works well for all kinds of music. Lows can get VERY low and it’s balanced overall. It still does have a little more on the mid to high end than most other speakers but I think that’s just part of that “Marshal” sound but now it’s not harsh nor tinny. It sounds fantastic. One reason I like Marshall speakers are the physical controls which just aren’t found on most speakers. Haptic, capacitive buttons are way overused nowadays and I’m happy that they still make “retro”-style devices like this with analog controls. What’s nice though is that these are pseudo-analog, meaning that when you turn the knobs they indicate their setting with an LED. So this means that you can still control volume from your phone and it indicates that with the built-in LEDs. Battery life is fantastic where I’ve been able to have this play non-stop throughout the day and lasting days before I have to recharge it. They advertise up to 50 hours of battery life and that seems about right to me. A very convenient feature that comes in super handy especially outside is that it can also backwards charge your phone using the USB C port. A great mid-sized bluetooth speaker with some class and character!

great product, missing a usb c cable. Item was bought in excellent condition so it does not come as advertised

I have never owned a Marshall Bluetooth speaker, but they have always intrigued me whenever I see them. I have been a guitar and bass player for most of my life, so I am very familiar with the Marshall name and what their products are all about. Every Marshall amplifier I have owned always had great attention to detail, was made with quality components, sounded amazing, and it just worked. I have to say, this Bluetooth speaker fits the Marshall tradition of quality. Right out of the box you can see and feel that this speaker has a premium feel, right down to the leather carrying handle. The case looks phenomenal, and just like a regular Marshall Guitar amplifier. The knobs are the same as the guitar amps too. For controls you get the standard bass, treble and volume. There is a Bluetooth pairing button, as well as a rocker switch for skipping tracks forward or backward. There is also a M button that can be programmed for a function that you choose in the app. There is also a 10-bar LED light that displays the battery level. Although you probably won’t have to worry about that much, cause this thing plays forever! They claim 50+ hours of play time, and while I have not tested the exact time, I have no reason to believe its not accurate. I’ve had this thing playing on my desk for my entire work week (40 hours) and it still has life left in it. The app is very easy to use and to get your speaker connected too. There isn’t a ton of functionality in there, pretty much all of the same controls you have on the top of the speaker itself and a couple customization options. Now, let’s got to how this thing sounds. I had pretty high expectations, and I have to say this speaker did not disappoint! I will say that I listen mainly to rock and metal music, and this speaker sounds phenomenal. The highs, mids, and lows all seem very tuned together and none of them is stronger than the other. It pumps out a good amount of bass too! Although if you really crank it up, it will decrease those bass levels a little bit to protect the speaker. They say is has what’s called “true stereophonic” sound so that wherever you are in the room, you will have the same listening experience. I found this to work very well except for obvious extremes like if you are behind or under the speaker. But if you have this placed normally in a room, you will get the same listening experience from anywhere in the room. There is also a 3.5mm jack to plug in any auxiliary devices as well as a USBC port for charging the speaker. That USBC port can also be used as a portable charging bank if you need it to charge your phone or other devices when you are out and not near an outlet. There really isn’t any negative thing I can find about this speaker. Amazing design, sound, and all the functions you need from a Bluetooth speaker!

Don't let the compact size fool you, this speaker is powerful! I can only set it 1/2 way and it's still louder than some of my other speakers. Looking at it, you'd think it would just give pleasing sound. Load up a bass heavy track and you'll be blown away! The size of the speakers limit some of the bass range, so while it can hit those punchy thumps and some rumble it kinda falls flat on some of the sub-bass notes. You'll still get the lower frequencies, but they just don't hit like the higher frequency bass. Trebles come out clean without being too harsh for my ears and the sound fills the room...kinda too much according to my wife's reaction. I have it set up in the work out room and even though I have the volume lower than my other speakers, something about the way it sends out the sound that it travels all the way to the living room pretty clearly, lol. Sorry, but I gotta have my focus music to push me through the workout. Even though there are knobs and switches, they're not analog and work digitally. I do prefer them to the buttons and they give a unique look. As far as battery goes, I don't have the patience to test a 50hr battery, lol. I'm gonna have to trust them or let it run for 30 or so workouts and see how it holds up. This is by far my favorite Marshall speaker. The size, sound, and design are absolution perfection. If my daughter tries to run off to college with this one I'm taking a trip to snatch it back. I let the other Marshall speaker go with her since she begged, but this one is mine!
