Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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.

Battery life decreases faster when played 75% volume or higher

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

This is a great compact Bluetooth speaker. Definitely not the Smallest, but size is manageable which is really helped with the strap that comes with it. I have owned several small Bluetooth speakers, and this one is the best all around. First, the construction is well built and solid. The external skin and surface has a textured rubberized layer that looks great and gives it that nostalgic speaker amplifier look. The feel and weight Of the speaker are of high quality and the speaker feels like it could take a lot of wear and tear. Next the set up is as easy as you can imagine. The power on and function gives a neat and unique guitar rift, which I I like. Connects easy to many music services and instantly recognized with my iPhone and Bluetooth settings. I used Apple Music and Spotify and Amazon music and all of those services played really easily on this speaker. NextI like. Connects easy too many music services in instantly recognized with my iPhone and Bluetooth settings. I used Apple Music and Spotify and Amazon music and all of those services played really easily on this speaker. Next the sound was incredible. For the size. I found it gave really rich highs and mids without sounding too harsh or bright. Next I thought the base was impressive for its size. This is of course altered and magnified if you placed the speaker approximately a foot from a wall or if it’s left in anopen space, the lows will drop a bit. But based on your preference, you can change the sound a bit with placement. It is nice that this speaker head, tone controls, Bass and treble, but I thought it sounded just fine with everything balanced. The Marshall logo and branding look really sharp and as I said earlier, the nostalgic, vintage look of the older, amplifier speakers used for Live music really set this apart. I highly recommend and think it’s worth a trial

The product came with a small damage at the letter a in the design and the speaker play time is not 20 hours and moreover the batter capacity of the speaker got decreased.

It worked for like a month then the charging port is totally shot bad product all around

It's not good for outdoor. You can get another speaker better than this one and the quality does not match with the price $299.

Fit and finish is very nice and sound quality is very good. Unfortunately, the speaker did not charge at all so I had to return it.

This is just a scam. The sound quality very bad. Only got it for the aesthetics.

The Marshall Middleton is an amazing sounding and looking Bluetooth speaker. It has phenomenal sound quality right out the box. All the controls are on the top and easy to navigate and use. You can even adjust bass and treble. This speaker is ready to use rain or shine, making it perfect for camping or any other outdoor activities. It also perfect for indoor use as well, like small gatherings or just jamming out by yourself. I can confirm that it has sound coming out of the front, back, left and right, so the 360 sound claim is spot on. It easily fills rooms with sound. I've been on an 80's music kick lately, and everything from Kenny Rodgers to Motlley Crue sounds amazing on this speaker. You get over 20 hours of playback on a full charge, and it charges up fairly quickly. Also you can use it as a power pack to charge your phone if needed. The only issue I have is that at about 60 percent volume, the sound quality changes. The bass drops off dramatically the higher the volume, and treble kicks in decreasing the sound quality dramatically. The speaker gets loud, just no bass. Overall I really enjoying listening to all types of music at low to moderate volume on this speaker. Likes: 1.) Amazing sound 2.) Looks fancy 3.) Easy to setup and use Dislikes: 1.) Bass decreases as you increase volume which

Had to return, was constantly disconnecting from my iPhone 15 pro. Nice speaker, when plugged in via Aux, but Bluetooth performance was very poor. It cut out a bunch just sitting with the phone beside it, was terrible if I tried to use the phone at the same time.

An excellent sound system that is ideal for any party or event is the Marshall speaker. With its strong audio output, which produces clear highs, rich mids, and deep bass, it captivates listeners with an immersive sound. The speaker can survive the rigors of any event because to its sturdy build quality, which emanates toughness. The Marshall speaker's adaptability is what really makes it stand out. Its lightweight design makes it easy to take indoors or out, and its long-lasting battery guarantees continuous music playback all night long. You can DJ from wherever in the venue thanks to the speaker's simple controls and Bluetooth connectivity, which also make pairing with any device a breeze.

Do not buy this. I have had 3 and not one will charge regardless or wire, outlet, and brick. It is a very expensive single use item. Make sure it charges if you do order it immediately.
