This was good purchase small and loud. I have always been a Bose type. And I kinda want that base boom from the Bose speaker but this will do u til I can afford the Bose speaker

This is the best portables speaker I own out of three other ones! The sound quality is very crisp and clear. It's almost like you're at a concert if you are playing this at half volume in a room. Speaking of volume, the volume on this thing is insane. I can have this speaker at 75% of its max volume, in my room, and I could hear the music clearly throughout my two story house. As for battery life, this thing can last up to 20 hours per charge, which I think is overkill. Just charge it over night and it's ready for the day. Great for parties too!

It sounds so good, I highly recommend it. For music lovers

Great speaker for outings and battery last a long time.

Pros: Sounds great for its size. Lots of mid bass. Very portable. Great battery life. Cons: Like it so much I bought a second one. When in stack mode, I felt like they didn’t sound nearly as good. I stacked them and also sat them side by side with about 3 feet apart. The bass seemed to overwhelm the rest of the sound when either stacked or side by side, even with the bass set to one. Anyway I highly recommend buying one as long as you understand the limitation. In other words you not going fill a medium to large backyard with one. For that you need a Marshall Woburn III or JBL PartyBox 310…I know, I have both :).

Has even better sound then when tested in store, would absolutely reccomend to anyone looking for a high quality bluetooth speaker

I had a JBL charge5 for years and gave it to my brother and wanted to upgrade to something that sounded better. Sound quality is amazing and the bass is much better than the previous speaker. It is the perfect size for me and the app and buttons on top are also exactly what I wanted.

This speaker is wonderful it works sooo great with my projector. I have a small room and this speaker makes me feel like I’m in a movie theater

I was choosing between this and a few other speakers andgotta say I a glad I took this one. Sounds amazing and never been wowed by a speaker likei am with this. Perfect sound from anywhere you are sitting from the speaker. Volume is kinda iffy depending on taste in music. Battery is a issue but I think it enough battery for a good night of music!

This thing is built like a tank at 4.5lbs! The sound is well balanced and full for a midsized BT speaker. I was impressed by it having 6 speakers that fire in all 4 directions. Great 360 sound in a small package. The updated app works great. You can adjust bass treble and add speakers. I finally chose to buy a Marshall because they have the latest Bluetooth 5.2 codec that gives the speaker over 30 feet of range and will work well with the yet to be released series III Marshall speakers. This thing is a beast! Enjoy!

Sound is very detailed, with nice bass at low to mid volume s at 80% - 100% volume sound becomes brighter with less bass. I love the 360 degree sound. The speaker is made out of high end materials with great looks and long battery life.

Amazing sound, worth every penny. This speaker blows away everything else.

Woah , what a great sound and arrange of music, it's simply amazing.

Great sound per size (small brick); bass substantial for a BT speaker. A tad pricey maybe bc of the name brand, I get it. A slick idea but super annoying that anytime you turn on or off, it has a loud "Guitar-Crunch" you can't disable (to my knowledge) IF you don't wan't the speaker to do that (!?!) Hopefully Marshall will address this in a software update perhaps? Haven't emailed Marshall about it yet. Otherwise 5 stars

Have purchased several of these to be able to sound Stack them and have one in every room. Can't beat the performance and classic Marshall styling for the price!

great sound like the physical buttons for sound adjustments my only negative is when it comes to charging the usb type c cable is finnicky and sometimes will not charge device

It looks good, it feels good, and yes: it sounds good. it fills our living room with music.

Pros: - Loud, well-balanced sound - Iconic design - Sturdy, well built - Bluetooth 5.1 - Controls onboard for volume, treble, bass - Long-lasting battery Cons: - Expensive - Somewhat heavy - App is unusable Two of those cons are simply compromises one knowingly makes when buying this speaker. But the last negative I could not have foreseen. Zound Industries, the company that makes these speakers, eventually acknowledged that there was a firmware issue preventing the app from working as it should. Regrettably I returned the speaker.

I replaced my Bose portable speaker with the Marshall portable speaker. So far I am really enjoying it.

I’ve always been a fan of Marshall equipment and when their new Middleton speaker came out we just had to try it out. Unboxing and Setting Up: The speaker came in a logoed recyclable box and inside was the speaker, a USB A to C cable, heavy rubber carrying strap, and a QuickStart guide. The speaker itself is surprisingly heavy for its size, “about 4 ¼ lbs.” and feels very substantial. The rubber outer cover has a nice deep grain leather texture and is very easy to grip. On the top are the main control toggle which you use to power on the speaker, then left to right is used for FF/RW, up /down for volume. The main button is very large and easy to see in the dark and the size makes it very easy to use. There are buttons in the rubber covering for Bass, Treble, Battery Strength, and Bluetooth. I like the fact that when you use one of these buttons for adjustment or checking the battery a segmented LED bar graph lights up in 10 segments so you can easily see just where your adjustments are. Pressing the battery button displays how much battery is left. On the back there’s a USB C port for charging and a AUX audio input. Since the speaker doesn’t come with a power adapter, I used one of our power strips that has some high-power USB ports built in and used the very nice quality cable that Marshall included with the speaker, the cable is a little heavier duty feeling over other cables I have “a nice touch”. We didn’t really pay attention to how much of a charge the battery already had, just waited until the indicator showed “full”. I then attached the heavy rubber hand strap “which is very well made” and held securely by a large headed screw together rivet. Everything about this speaker is very robust and feels like it would take a beating. Using: Installing the Marshall Bluetooth Speaker app is highly recommended, especially if you are using with your phone. The app allows you to adjust the Bass / Treble levels without having to find the controls on the speaker. The LEDs light up showing what levels they are set at “also displayed in the app”, and you can update the speaker’s firmware from the app. We had no issues pairing the speaker to our phones Galaxy Flip4 or Galaxy S22 Ultra. We also paired it with our TV and are mainly using it this way. The sound quality is simply amazing, for a speaker of this size it’s just unbelievable how much Bass this little box provides and on top of that it can get very loud. Enough to easily fill our living room and beyond. At max volume there is very little distortion as long as you don’t have the Bass/Treble maxed out “most spears would have a problem with that too”. This is going to be our go to device for listening to the TV. I have some hearing issues and the closer to the speaker I am the better, and I don’t have to turn up the volume like I would if I were trying to listen from the soundbar attached to the TV. Conclusion: If you are looking for a portable “although heavy” Bluetooth speaker that sounds amazing, and one that get’s very loud to cover a pretty good area then I’d look at the Middleton speaker. It’s portable but nothing like some of the ones shaped like a can that can be put in a water bottle holder on your bike, It’s way too big and heavy for that. But it’s perfect for taking to the beach, camping or back yard, anywhere you would benefit from having portable sound. Charging from almost 0 takes around 3-3.5hrs “a little faster than the 4.5hrs listed”, but we did use a higher power charger, and the charge I would say lasts about 24hrs if you are listening at moderate volume levels and higher. Not bad for a speaker of this size. The things I don’t really like “not deal breakers though” are the ports for charging and aux input are not covered and I be concerned about getting dirt/water into those “even thought it’s stated as being water proof” The other thing is the rubber buttons for Battery, Bluetooth, Bass and Treble have very little tactile feedback and are hard to find in the dark “almost impossible” I do wish their symbols were embossed heavier so you could “feel” them easier. Otherwise this is an excellent portable Bluetooth speaker that’s going to be hard to beat.
