The OG(Original Gangsta) in audio systems. This is truly the best portable speaker you cam get. Completely worth the price. I’m literally feeling a pure bass, clear vocals and very crisp sound. My verdict is only one word ‘Just go for it’.

Performance just doesn't match the price tag.

First off, this isn't a bad speaker by any means. It has some good features and the build quality is nice. If you are familiar with other Marshall speakers, then you know they always make a quality looking speaker with that retro amp look to them. They are definitely eye catchers for the older crowd.
This Middleton is a medium sized portable speaker, meaning it does have an internal battery that can be recharged. A red battery indicator on top will let you easily see the battery life as the speaker is being used. There is an included carrying strap in the box that you can attach , but the plastic screw it is held on by might make it a little iffy to hang the speaker by, particularly if it is being moved around.
This speaker, much like the Emberton II, features active drivers on both the front and back of the cabinet. I'm not a big fan of this design, but it will give you equal sound both front and back if you place it say in the middle of a room. Sound quality is pretty solid, with bass and treble adjustments on the speaker, or via the app. The app is very bare bones, which is a bit of a disappointment.
The real issue with this speaker is price. For what you get, it's just really hard to justify the price tag. It doesn't really do anything great, with only decent bass capability and it doesn't get as loud as you might expect, partly because you never get the full power of the speaker in your direction. The bass does thin out and treble gets brighter when you turn it up to it's louder levels. So this speaker might appeal more to the older crowd that has enough money that the price on the Middleton really doesn't deter them.

I love this speaker so much that I bought two more of them. Easy to link together, although I wish I could choose a new name for them so I know which is which on my Bluetooth list. The app is a little frustrating to use for the same reason and I've mostly given up on using it. Battery life is great, multi-directional sound rocks, and I am very happy with my speakers.

I’ve had an Emberton for a couple of years and really like how it sounds. Its used as a primary audio source in a small cottage I own for mostly rock and hip hop. I’ve been thinking about upgrading for a while and came across a great deal on this Middleton. It has the same lively sound signature (fun/punchy/detailed/wide sound stage) but plays much bigger as you would expect for a speaker 2-3x the size. I know some people don’t vibe with the Marshall sound but if you do and you’ve been thinking about an upgrade go for it. And if you haven’t given Marshall a listen I’d ecourage you to. Keep in mind the size of the speaker - this can still rock out at volumes 95% of people would consider too loud but if you’re looking to shake the walls or annoy your neighbors look elsewhere.

Speaker has great aesthetics and amazing sound. The feature I like about the most of it is that you can connect other Marshall speakers to it to synchronize sound. Would recommend!

Overall Good.
Sound/voice is crystal clear if you compare to Soundcore Boom 2.
Great treble...Good Bass...Good Battery. Definitely recommend for indoor use or occasional outdoor. Also great for acoustic

This item actually surprised me because of it size not the brand. Marshall has always been a name of excellence but for the size of this speaker, I can say that it packs a punch.

Amazing sound in a small speaker! Use in. Y home gym and have to keep down a bit from flooding the neighborhood with sound out of the garage! It’s crisp, clear, good bass, amazing little speaker!!!

It is wonderful. Easy to navigate without a lot of controls, which makes it basic for those of us that are not control savvy. Right size especially for a senior citizen to carry around. Hearty Sound is great.

The Roku Pro Series TV offers superior picture and sound, while the new Streaming Stick and Stick Plus provide affordable and easy 4K HDR streaming with improved remotes that now include voice and TV controls. The 2025 Roku Plus Series TV is highlighted as a user-friendly, high-value option for those who prefer Roku's media-focused interface over other platforms, though it isn't a top performer in the mini-LED market.

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.

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.

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
