Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have had this Bluetooth offering from Marshall now for 5 days and have used in it numerous locations – outside patio, inside living room and for a cul de sac party we recently had. This speaker performed and sounded beautifully. Packaging for this product is minimalistic in a good way. All cardboard and recyclable. Speaker was well protected and enclosed you get the speaker, USB-C cable for charging and some obligatory paperwork that no one reads – except the quick start guide. Connecting to my phone and app was as easy as a Bluetooth device should be and immediately upon connection to the app, the speaker was recognized by the Marshall App, and received a firmware update that went smoothly and quickly (approx. 2 minutes). Within the app you can choose the “Marshall Signature sound EQ setting or change to your own desired EQ settings. While the signature sound setting is good, it is a bit too base heavy for my taste so I made my own EQ profile. This of course is personal taste and will change for each user. This task took me all of about 10 minutes as I have certain songs that I use for EQ tweaking. The look of this product is typical Marshall appearance – almost a retro vibe but with a modern twist. The black and gold highlights are very easy on the eyes. The top controls of the speaker allow one to adjust the volume, base and treble via turn solid feeling knobs. There is a verticle toggle switch to play next track or go back to last track. And finally a battery indicator light to let you know when charging is required. The volume and sound of this speaker are simply amazing, especially after I set my own EQ preferences. The base is simply wonderful and the balance of the tones is superb. I never even cam close to using max volume as it got plenty loud at our neighborhood party at about 70% volume. I received numerous compliments on the speaker from the neighbors both with the sound and its appearance. All in all, I think Marshall has a great product here and I highly recommend this speaker.

My wife and I use bluetooth speakers a lot, and they are all over our house. However, when I saw this become availble, I knew i had to have it after the amazing experience we have had with the Marshall Emerson speaker. We have used it so much, and it's got such a great sound, a cool aesthetic and it's small but emits big sound. The same issues cited there for the Emerson apply to the Kilburn III but it's just larger and has a bigger sound is all. Getting it setup is easy as you turn it on, go to your phone and pair it, then get the software for Marshall Kilburn III (the app) and you can adjust the sound even more. You don't have to get the app though as you can just use it as a regular pairing device and never even install any Marshall app. The way the whole thing is designed is to exuded old school Marshall amps, using retro design of metal and heft, over plastic and lightness. In this it succeeds brilliantlly, an aesthetic powerhouse that is truly amazing to look at, and loud, oh my so loud, but always so clear. Never have any issues pairing, this is just the best bluetooth speaker one can buy. Oh and that sound, oh my goodness the sound is just the absolute best. HIGHLY RECOMMNEDED. Its hefty btw, but nothing too crazy.

I listen to a non battery powered Marshall many days at work and also enjoy Marshall earbuds. I had never heard or tested a portable battery powered Marshall but I am quite impressed. The unit has a great handle with a faux leather top and Red velvet undersurface and the classic Marshall classy appearance. It is quite solid and has a black textured splash resistant faux leather covering. There are large rubber feet and a plastic bottom. Sound is quite good and balanced and the battery life is quite good. Charging is usb c with 5 or 9 volt 3 amp charging. The battery can also out put 5 volt 3 amp for slow phone charging. Speaker drivers are forward and backward facing and there is a bass port. There is also an input jack for aux input. The controls are excellent but unfortunately the volume only goes to 10. There is a physical power switch and led battery gauge with basic eq (bass and treble) dials. Bluetooth is stable and there is a nice physical advance back pause play control which worked well with Spotify.

Good sound good quality. Even with the charging cable, it would be nice if they included some kinda charging cable bag holder to attach to the speaker.

I really wanted it. This product is on my bucket list. I listened to music as soon as I got home. I love it so much.

I just would like the on and off switch to stay in boths sides. But is an excellent
