    Exceptional sound quality used it on the river in the kayaks has been dropped in the water and is definitely water resistant! Love the handle makes it easy to carry around and strap to something so It doesn’t fall off. Use it all the time and rarely have to charge it.

    The Marshall Middleton blew me away with its powerful, clear sound and deep bass — especially for a portable speaker. It’s loud enough for outdoor use without distortion, and the built-in EQ controls let me fine-tune the audio. The design is classic Marshall: sleek, durable, and water-resistant, which makes it perfect for both home and travel. Battery life is impressive too — I easily get over 20 hours on a single charge. If you’re looking for a premium, portable speaker with top-notch sound and style, this one is worth it.

    I mostly use it for entertainment apps like Crunchyroll and HBO. It also works well for music. That sound quality is good I can hear the subtle details and the music or some of the movies or videos that I watch. It makes for a good home entertainment system substitute when I'm in my semi when I'm out over the road

    Speaker sounds great. Battery life is no where close to what they claim. I hope you don’t need any support from Marshall one year and two months after your purchase. Just another large company that wants your money, but puts minimal effort into customer service.

    This speaker is heavy duty and sounds just as great as it is durable. Bass is solid on all volumes and its a great size to take anywhere and everywhere. The fact that its water resistant is a huge bonus.

    The Michael Middleton portable speaker is an impressive choice for anyone seeking good quality sound on the go. The build quality feels solid, and the design is sleek and modern. What stands out the most is the base sound—it’s deep, rich, and offers a satisfying depth without being overwhelming. Whether you’re listening to music indoors or outdoors, the audio remains clear and punchy. The battery life is solid, lasting for hours of playback, and it’s easy to connect to your devices. For the price, it delivers great value, offering a combination of sound quality, portability, and reliability. Definitely worth the investment if you’re looking for an affordable yet high-performing portable speaker.

    I see a lot of reviews with questions about Emberton vs Middleton. I have both and they are both excellent in their own right! The Middleton has superior sound and bass, as it should. But in my opinion, these two speakers have different uses. The Emberton is very small and portable while the Middleton is much larger. Still portable, but not somethingbid throw into a suitcase before a flight. The Middleton is a great speaker stellar sound and intuitive controls. And the bluetooth works very well.

    It’s a very nice speaker, loud but not distorted, not big enough to be an inconvenience when moving around, and really good battery life compared to other speakers, I can have it at full volume for 4-5 hours before dead and I’d say about 10 hours at half volume

    I have been eyeballing this particular unit for a while. My previous was the Emberton II from Marshall as well. This thing is twice the size, but easily 4 times the audio experience. If you are on the market for a darn good speaker in this price range, certainly give it a look.

    Sounds great with a decent low end. Clear & loud. Using it in my home office on a shelf. Probably a bit heavy to carry around but it comes with a strap and good battery time. Has nice 360 sound dispersion and uses 2 speakers but I don't think it's stereo.

    This is my first Marshall speaker. Had bought an emberton for my dad once, and he was satisfied. But this for the Middleton has a rich, deep bass for a speaker of its size. The 360 speaker design really fills rhe room. I lost my OG LG Megaboom. Needed a portable speaker with an AUX cable. And not to mention the speaker looks fantastic. Highly recommend this product.

    This thing packs great sound in a small package. I have tried multiple speaker brands and Marshall is my favorite! You have the ability to adjust the bass and treble but it sounds great out of the box!

    I have the Embertonll speaker, also the killburn speaker and the truth is I was very surprised by the bass that the Middleton has. The only thing I didn't like is the battery life, it doesn't last more than 6 hours with the volume to the maximum
