Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good scrip, good product, High quality product all very good so far

Sleeker design but sound quality not as great as Killburn II

Very good like. Good

Great speaker....open box item and everything works as it should.

Amazing sound but super false advertising.. 4 measely hours of battery life when 20+ is advertised. When I contacted the manufacturer, they played it off like i was crazy and that I had 2 defective speakers they would Try to repair through mail under warranty. The app is super annoying to use and is mandatory for pairing. No go!!!

Great sound but only supporting the sbc codec caused some audio delay while listening to music and watching videos as well as some Bluetooth audio distortion causing me to return

Works great for a medium size speaker and I haven’t had any problems with it either

Good product and better quality……:::::::::::::::::

Exactly what it says it is. Extremely happy with the purchase

As an owner of multiple Marshall bluetooth speakers, this one is my favorite. Its the perfect size to fill just about any area with warm rich sound. It was super easy to setup and connect to the Marshall app. It come with a lanyard and charging cable. It has a nice anti slip rubberized exterior that durable yet very pleasing to the eye. Not only is this speaker great to look at with its classic Marshall amp styling it sounds great too. Deep bass,forward mid range and crisp clear highs make the Middleton great for entertainment in large spaces as well as small ones. With the adjustable Eq on the speaker and in the mobile app it can be tuned for any type of music. If you want to have sound in multiple different places or rooms the Middleton can also be linked with other Marshall speakers so youre never away from great sounding music. Its also small enough to be portable. I frequently move it around the house, garage and out in the yard. Another cool feature is the type-C charging port on the back not only charges the Middleton, you can use it to charge your devices as well. The only negative I have is perception. I will admit that I thought this speaker was much much smaller than it is due to the picture and the wrist lanyard. I am not exactly sure why it has a lanyard, it is extremely heavy and not really portable it that way as it is over 4lbs. Overall, it is a great sounding speaker that I would reccomend to anyone

It's a good speaker when you use it at low volume, above 70% the bass starts to get lost and the audio is high pitched. The battery is not that good, it lasts between 6 and 8 hours even with the volume at maximum.

Had it less than 2 months and it wont charge. Worked when i first bought it. Charge it up and worked great. Battery life was fantastic and lasted a month but once it was depleted, it was dead. I attempted to charge it and nada! I reached out to Marshall for help but they were worthless. They told me to use different charging cords (was the one that came with the product crap?) and use a specific charging brick but nothing. I did a factory reset and still wont charge. It’s past the return date so now i lost money on a piece of junk. DO NOT BUY, THATS WHY ITS ON SALE!!!!!!!!!

The speaker was good until it got to 20 percent then it started to get really quiet and would get louder to save batterie

First and foremost, I'll admit it. I kinda love Marshall products in general. It all started with the Major IV wireless bluetooth headphones and sort of just went on from there. It's been a few years and I still daily drive the Major IVs so when the opportunity came to get my hands on a bluetooth speaker offering, I jumped on it. As I expected, I was not sorry. Where to begin. Well I guess we can start with the battery. I was trying to hold off writing this review until I knew how long a charge would last, but the thing hasn't died yet! It's unbelievable. Ive used it extensively since I got it and it still has quite a bit of juice left. Admittedly I don't use it at max volume since it's pretty loud even at 50%, but jeez, I'm loving that battery life. I find the sound quality to be excellent. Perhaps a bit bass-heavy, but that's is in line with my particular taste so it's fine for me. Rock and Pop of any sort sounds fantastic. Lo-Fi stuff too. You can even play with bass and treble settings a bit since they are adjustable right on the device. Speaking of controls, I'm very much a fan of what Marshall has done here. A dedicated pairing button, a dedicated battery status button, the aforementioned bass and treble controls, and a 5 direction control knob make operation very intuitive. I didn't even need to read any directions. I also like that the battery indicator also functions as a volume, bass, treble or charging indicator depending on what you're doing at the time. One reason I specifically wanted the Middleton is the presence of the 3.5mm aux jack. That comes in handy a lot more than one might think. For instance, I travel quite a bit and tend to use AirBNBs more than hotels when I do. Most AirBNBs will have a TV, but not a soundbar or any method of playing audio other than the (usually horrible) television speakers. These TVs will usually have a 3.5mm headphone jack though. Combine that with a decent length 3.5mm audio cable and the Middleton becomes a nifty travel-size soundbar. No bells or whistles. Simple stereo, but MAN is it a huge improvement over builtin TV speakers. USB-C for charging is also very much appreciated and I love that I can charge my phone from it if need be. I've done so a few times already and it's not the fastest charge, but it's great in a pinch. Now for what people might not like. For what this is, I personally do not mind this, but the unit is a bit on the heavy side. It wouldn't be untruthful for one to refer to this as a "luggable" speaker more than a "portable" one. That said, I'm totally willing to accept the extra weight if the battery life is as good as this has and the sound quality as good as it is is as well. Marshall including the carry strap is a big plus in this regard. I've seen some people gripe about the lack of a speakerphone capability. I personally have never used a bluetooth speaker for this even though all of my other bluetooth speakers support it. It's not a big deal to me, but something you should consider if it is to you. All in all, I think Marshall has a winner on their hands here and I look forward to the many trips, cookouts, and homeowner DIY projects this will provide the soundtrack to in the future.

Battery life decreases faster when played 75% volume or higher

First off, I’ll say I really like this speaker. I got the Marshall Bluetooth headphones last year and they are great. I was very excited to have the chance to review this new portable Bluetooth speaker from Marshall. The speaker looks amazing with the retro vibe of the amps of the past. It is a good size speaker and weighs in at around 4lbs. The speaker has a rubberized material on all sides and a metal mesh grill with the Marshall logo on the front. I have several high-end Bluetooth speakers and this Marshall sounds as good as any of the others I have. The Marshall has woofers and tweeters on both the front and back of the speaker along with passive radiators on each side. This configuration gives the Marshall a very open and airy sound and you don’t just need to be right in front of the speaker to get good sound. The bass is strong and the mids and highs are excellent. I have the speaker connected to my phone and tablet and connecting was easy and fast. There are controls on the top of the speaker for bass and treble adjustment so you don’t have to use an app to control the eq. The battery level indicator serves as the level indicator for the bass and treble as well. There is a brass button in the middle of the top of the speaker to control volume and next and previous song selection. The battery charged quickly and the battery indicator makes it easy to tell when it is fully charged. It comes with a charging cable and the charging port can also charge another device. There is a 3.5mm aux input for connecting other devices as well. Marshall claims 20 hours of play time and IP67 water and dust proof capability. I haven’t tested this claim but based on the build quality I wouldn’t be surprised. There is a carrying strap included as well. This obviously isn’t the least expensive Bluetooth speaker out there but compared to comparably priced speakers that I own this is a great speaker and the fact you can get this much sound and still be able to take it with you without having to plug it in is worth it.

When I purchased this item I knew that it would be a great purchase.

The Middleton speaker is extremely easy to set up and use. It has both USB-C and aux input ports (one each). I will probably repeat myself several times but - it has phenomenally strong and clean bass and is loud, with good sound quality, and well-balanced. The charging seams a little slow but that probably lengthens battery life. About the size of a loaf of bread and a pound short of a 5-pound bag of sugar, it provides up to 20 hours of battery life. It has a nice app interface that pretty much mirrors the physical controls on the speaker including both bass and treble controls. Repeat - it has phenomenally strong and clean bass The Middleton embodies the design fundamentals of Marshall’s other speakers. It is rather retro in design and it is beautiful. Because of the rectangular form factor and substantial weight for its size, the Middleton is not likely to get knocked over. If knocked over the heavy-duty rubber clad exterior looks and feels like it is an extremely good shock absorber and survivor. The implemented IP67 dust and water resistance are quite good for a portable Bluetooth speaker. Repeat it has phenomenally strong and clean bass. Multiple speakers and be synced to create a totally immersive experience I would like to see a microphone for speakerphone/intelligent agent functionality. All in all this is a phenomenal portable Bluetooth speaker! – it kicks!

Speaker is good but if not in use, battery draining happens.

Expensive but great product. Nice base and treble response
