Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is probably the 7th or 8th portable speaker I have had. I have small portable speakers to larger ones. They all have their place and uses, and this one is no different but looks much more elegant. I love the style and look of this speaker. The materials look to be premium and would look nice in an office, living room, or any other place. The rubber wrapped around the speaker is made to look like leather. This rubber seems pretty thick and should help protect the speaker if it is ever dropped. I also liked that the rubber provided some grip and isn't slick. The speaker grill looks really nice and the Marshall logo in the center is a nice dark gold color. Overall, this speaker really looks like a Marshall AMP, but is could be displayed anywhere as it looks very nice. The power on and off sound is also a nice touch as it sounds like a guitar strum. Really nice that Marshall took the time to make the startup sounds something similar to what their amps would be used for instead of a generic power on/off sound. The controls on top are for power, Bluetooth pairing (also has an indicator light), battery indicator, and a microphone. The front of the speaker has a four-way joystick to adjust for volume, play/pause, skip forward or backward, receive/end a call, and also reject a call. I mostly used the control knob for skipping songs or adjust the volume. The control knob is super easy to use, and I liked that it looks nice, but was still convenient to use. The strap seems pretty durable and attached strongly to different objects around my house. The speaker is a little bigger than I expected, but the strap is so helpful and very much welcomed to have to secure it to different things when using. My plan is to attach it to my bike or use for kayaking since it can be securely attached and not have the fear of losing it. Sound quality is on par with other speakers. Vocals are clear and bass is strong but not overpowering. You can use the app to make some adjustments to the sound, but you cannot adjust the EQ like you can with Marshall headphones. I only used this speaker with apple IOS, so maybe the app for android is different. However, I wish I could make more tweaks to the EQ like you can with their line of headphones, but this is not a deal breaker as the overall sound quality is very nice even at higher levels. This has turned into one of my favorite portable speakers. I really love that it comes with its own built-in strap to attach onto a bike, kayak, etc. The sound quality is really good, but this speaker just looks super nice and makes for a great conversation piece while playing music. This speaker will sit out on my shelf instead of being put away like my other Bluetooth speakers.

This is a handheld size BT speaker with iconic Marshall amp looks. It’s got a strap on the back that is great for using on a bike or attaching to your back pack / bag strap. I use it also to attached to a bar in the shower for my morning get up and go tunes. Sound is decent and it has 3 EQ settings: Main/Marshall default, “Push” for bass boost and a heavier sound (my preference), and a Voice enhanced mode for pod casts or using for phone calls. I found it a bit quiet except on its loudest volume settings, but this is made to be more of a smaller space speaker for a single room or small area of listening and not be an “amp”. Battery preservation mode - This is an interesting and unique feature that I haven’t seen before in a BT speaker. It’s settings that allow you to try and maximize the battery life through preservation settings. Limiting maximum charge to 95%, lowers the charging speed if temp gets too high while charging, and an option to limit charging speed to prolong battery lifespan. Time will tell, but I’m hopeful that these settings will ensure long life of the speaker. Battery life itself is impressive with 17+ hours of battery life. It’s also dust and waterproof if you take it to the pool or beach and then quick rinse off to clean. Note that it doesn’t have a linking feature to pair with another speaker, but supports the new upcoming Auracast BT music feature (but I don’t believe that is widely available yet as of this review September 2024). Think Screencast/Air Play for BT audio. Marshall app is easy to use and connect to speaker for enhance features like EQ and firmware updates. Overall a nice speaker for smaller spaces or listening to music on the go.

Marshall is a name we know for great quality audio to jam out to. This portable Bluetooth speaker has good things going for it. Right off the bat I will say that this isn't the best sounding speaker but given it's smaller form factor and ruggedness as trade offs, this makes for a good contender for taking with you on the go. If I were looking for a speaker I can take with me to the park, bike ride, or to the basketball court, this is a good choice. It's rugged enough that you can throw it in your bag but the included strap is nice to be included so that you can strap it to your bicycle handle bars or backpack strap without worries of it falling off. It holds off dust and water with it being IP67 dust and waterproof rating so you can submerge it in 3 ft of water for up to 30 minutes. 17 hour battery life is also a big pro given it's size. I love that it being USB-C rechargeable, I can easily connect my battery bank to it for more fun on the go since I only need one USB-C cable for my phone, laptop, and not this speaker. The overall sound of this speaker is good with a noticeable bass that once again is pretty impressive for a speaker of this size. I personally think that the sound quality is best at 55-75% volume, depending on what type of music you are listening to. It helps that the signature "Marshall" name plate is front and center of the speaker making it look premium even though it is mostly a soft touch plastic material. If you are in the market for a on the go, rugged, bass heavy, Bluetooth speaker, this definitely is worth considering.

This small speaker has been greaet for travel and small outdoor gatherings with family and friends. Provides stellar sound for such a small speaker.

everywhere love everything about this little powerhouse from the base to the look it breaks necks everywhere i go!

There are many Bluetooth speakers to choose from. Why choose the Marshall Willen? It’s the sound and the size. This speaker punches above its size in sound quality. It’s not perfect, especially compared with larger options. Marshall built a good frequency range into this speaker, but they couldn’t fit the power which comes with larger speaker like Bose’s Soundlink or Ultimate Ears Megaboom. With the WIllen, it sounds great within 5-7 feet. Beyond that, the quality gets a little muddy and soft. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience was not as smooth as I’d come to expect from Marshall. I was able to easily get the speaker connected to my phone, but couldn’t get it connected to my PC. Marshall does provide a nice app so you’ll have an equalizer to make the speaker sound the way you like. Overall, it’s a decent speaker with some great features. I wish there was a little more consistency in how it sounds to recommend more fully. There may be better options, depending on what your needs are.

just got this as a gift from my girlfriend, she knows i love music, and needed something portable on the go! marshall did an amazing job with the willen ll!!! the willen ll is louder than my jbl flip 6 and i can actully take it everywhere with its built in strap! the play/pause/playback/foward/v+andv- is all in a small gold shift knob making it convenient to switch anything very fast, thank you to my girlfriend, and thank you marshall!!!

All around great sounding for a speaker this size and the battery is more than enough for a day of listening.

Very great sound! Love how lightweight it is and it’s easy to clip on! Very good for traveling!

Good sound for portable music. Easy to pack for traveling!

Simply the best portable speaker. Sound quality is amazing and it has a unique design.

Small but loud. Has great bass and amazing sound. One of my favorite speakers for rock music

Easy to carry. The sounds is good, you can also customize with the app.

My grandkids are quite happy with this product which I bought for three of them. The sound is excellent, battery life is impressive.

I loved it, it sounds great, it's the perfect size

The Marshall Willen II is honestly one of the best things I’ve ever had. I love that it connects to two devices at the same time—so it’s always ready whether I’m at my desktop, cooking, or even in the shower. For such a small speaker, the sound is insanely powerful. Marshall just means party, always. I’ve always loved Marshall and now I want them all. This one feels extra special because it was a birthday gift from my dad. Truly the best gift I’ve received in years. Every time I hear it, it makes me smile. I feel so happy with it.

GREAT SOUND for the small size, it has a removable rubber strap which fits perfectly on my scooter.

Very happy with this compact speaker. Purchased for the esthetic, love the sound!

Extremely loud for its small size. The strap in the back of it works for any type of portability options. And the single multipurpose knob is easy to use.

Just a quick overview of this. It sounds very good and maybe because it’s the branding but rock / metal does sound especially good on it. Maybe it’s just tuned more specifically . It is small but does produce a good amount of sound like it’s not gonna fill in auditorium but a living room in the corner classroom, bedroom workout room not bad at all. Feel solid and sounds good
