Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've got a number of small Bluetooth speakers and most are pretty good. However, the Marshall Willen II absolutely blew me away! As with other Marshall speakers & headphones that I have used, the build quality is excellent. I would go so far as to say the Marshall lineup (Willen II included) have the most premium build quality of any Bluetooth speakers. And on top of a premium build, the Willen II is both dust & waterproof. It is rated for complete submersion in water up to 3 feet deep for up to 30 minutes. I have no plans to dunk it in Lake Superior, but I have no fears about using it around water. I would say the rated battery life of 17 hours is easily on the conservative side. Pretty sure it can go longer but of course, how you use it has a lot to do with that. Now as for the sound, all I can say is WOW! This thing sounds better than speakers 3x the price and size. I am talking near studio quality sound out of a speaker that can fit in one hand. The clarity of the highs and the clean deep bass and clear vocals are simply better than I ever thought a speaker of this size could deliver. And it gets plenty loud. There is just not anywhere that I wouldn't be happy to use the Marshall Willen II.

The Willen II by Marshall is a great portable speaker in a small package. Measuring less than 4" x 4" x 2" it's a compact sound machine. It's max volume is rated at 80 decibels which is plenty for indoors, or a small outdoor area. The unit boasts a 17 hour battery life insuring many hours of enjoyment and the (2) 38 watt Class D amplifiers really pack the sound into a small space. It has a 10 watt full-range driver and 2 passive radiators which give it a great, full-range sound. There's even a 5-bar LED light that shows your battery life. When used with the Marshall app, you can customize the sound with one of 3 EQ settings - Standard which provides classic "Marshall" sound, Push which adds a little extra bass and treble, and Voice which is great for podcasts or narration. The rubberized case is dust/water resistant and the IP67 rating keeps it dry for up to 30 minutes if it accidentally goes into the water. It also has a rubber strap on the back which allows you to attach it to virtually anything and the entire unit is small enough to fit in a backpack. The Willen II is not only a portable speaker though. With the built-in microphone, it doubles as a speakerphone and works great. I was able to talk and hear with clearly while on a phone call. The front of the unit has the control knob that looks like a volume control on a Marshall Amp! Push once for play/pause or to receive/end a call. Push twice to reject a call. Push left/right for rewind/fast-forward. Push up/down for volume control. This is a super-sounding portable speaker in a small package, that actually sounds good!

I was impressed with the Willen I speaker, and this is a definite, if incremental, step up in most every way. Audio - The sound out of this thing is amazing for it's size. I wouldn't think you could get such good bass from such a small form-factor, but Marshall knows what they are doing. The Willen II is very slightly thicker than its predecessor which may assist with the added bass production. The overall volume capability is a bit higher as well. I don't know that you're going to be blowing people away in an open-air setting like the beach, but it is great indoors and sufficient outdoors as well. Connectivity - Bluetooth 5.3 allows for solid connectivity. They do have an app that you can download to adjust the EQ or create a "stack" where you connect multiple Marshall bluetooth speakers, but this doesn't work with the Willen I at this time so I cannot test it out. On it's own, this is still a very respectable speaker. Battery - I'd say the projected life of 17 hours is accurate. Your milage may vary with the EQ and volume you're listening at, but I don't have a problem charging only once every few days while listening to podcasts or music at a reasonable volume. It also charges in under 3 hours, so that's excellent. There is a strap on the back to secure the speaker to a pole or attach it to a backpack. This is a nice feature, but I haven't had much use for it on the original Willen, so I cannot comment on whether it will stay stretched out or not. Overall, great little speaker with amazing sound.

Overall, this is a really good bluetooth speaker. High build quality, good looks, powerful sound even at low volumes... honestly the Willen II has it all. I can't say I'm a fan of how muddy and bassy some non-music video content can be at times, but my actual music sounds pretty great. The battery life is also pretty good. The pairing process is quick and easy, and I haven't had any trouble getting the speaker linked to the app; so Marshall has done a pretty good job on the software side of things, I think. I haven't experienced any weird glitches or hang-ups. The speaker also hasn't had any issues with lag or connection problems, so I think the hardware is good quality as well. I think my favorite part about the Willen II is the design, however. It looks like a tiny guitar amp. It's got little feet on two sides of it, and looks like it was designed for you to both set it upright or on it's back, and it sounds good in either position. The materials are great, it *feels* premium to the touch. I like picking it up to the point I've caught myself just fidgeting with the speaker sometimes. The front grille feels to be actual metal, and the material around the sides doesn't feel cheap. It's lightweight, but doesn't feel hollow and fragile. The only real shortcoming the Willen II has is that there's no AUX jack. That's pretty much it. It sounds good, looks good, feels good; and I would absolutely recommend it, especially if the idea of having a tiny guitar amp as a Bluetooth speaker sounds like your thing.

I’ve been wanting a new little Bluetooth speaker for myself, but I also wanted it to be rugged because a lot of times you get Bluetooth speakers and you’re very afraid of dropping them or if he gets wet or anything like that, but you wanna live your life and do what you wanna do. Along came Marshall’s Bluetooth speaker. It’s waterproof rugged even has a little clip for it perfect. Out of the box very compact and feels super rugged. The clip on the back tail is durable and super easy to use and seems like the speaker won’t fall on the ground easily, which doesn’t technically matter since it is very rugged. The battery life is decent and as always love the USB-C inclusion. The speaker also has an app to help with doing some EQ settings which help a bit overall it sounds decent for a small speaker. Nothing mind blowing, but it does get very loud which is really good and not too distorted. It also has a feature of being able to answer. Phone calls through it as well. It has a built-in Microphone. I’ve taken a few calls on it. I will say the microphone quality is not the best but being able to is pretty cool just in case if you get a phone call in the middle of a jam session you can just click the button and answer. The speaker is a perfect companion for you whether you are at home in the backyard out camping going on a bike ride or even just taking a shower. This one is perfect.

When I first saw the Marshall - Willen II Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Black/Brass in person, I was surprised at how small it is. At first I was like there is no way this is going to sound any good, and if does sound good, then it won't play very loud... But I was pleasantly wrong on both of those assumptions. Not only does the Marshall - Willen II Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Black/Brass sound good, it has the ability to fill a nice sized room with music loud enough to enjoy. Again surprisingly, the bass response is excellent, and the mids and highs sound clean and articulate. The bass doesn't get muddy, even at higher volume levels, and there is very low distortion even when played loudly. Marshal also has an app that can be downloaded that has a few extra equalizer curves tailored to the speaker, and also has a few nice battery savor setting that can be adjusted to make the battery life last longer. As far as the charge is concerned, the packaging says it can last up to 17 hiours on a charge, and I didn't find any reason to dispute that. I've played mine a few hours a say for almost a week and it still hasn't ran out of charge. The Marshall - Willen II Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Black/Brass is a 10 out of 10 guaranteed to put a smile on your face when you hear it in person.

The Marshall Willen II Portable Bluetooth Speaker is a nice speaker for its size. It comes well packaged and the setup process is very easy. It came with some battery life, but like all of my devices I like to charge it to full prior to using. After the battery was charged it was ready to pair to my device. The speaker comes with pairing mode already enabled, so it’s a matter of connecting to it from my device. It comes with a Bluetooth pairing button if you need to pair it to other devices. The speaker has a rugged build quality that appears to survive quite a few drops. It comes with a rubber strap on the back that can be strapped to whatever you see fit.
