Customer Ratings & Reviews

Marshall may be well known for their amps, but did you know they make some pretty awesome Bluetooth speakers? Well, they do! Right away you will notice the VERY solid feel and excellent build quality. Absolutely NO part of this Willen II feels cheap or flimsy. This is a premium build and just holding this in your hand solidifies that statement. Not only is it well made but man the aesthetics are beyond pleasing. The black and brass just produce a look that is elegant with a hint of "old school" vibe. The attention to detail is noticeable. Even powering on the speaker plays a guitar riff with that traditional Marshall sound. More on the audio later. Setup is incredibly easy. I paired this with an iPhone 15 Max and a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. Both connected right away and have had no dropped connections. You can literally be playing music in under two minutes. The associated app isn't necessarily the most robust but does allow for some control over all your Marshall Bluetooth speakers. There are three equalizer presets - Marshall, Push, and Voice. Marshall, which is by far my favorite, provides the traditional Marshall sound loved by many. Push has increased bass and treble, while Voice is designed for more voice centric audio such as audiobooks and videos. I did not see any way to personalize the equalizer which is something to consider if that is important to you. There is a battery preservation adjustment to help expand the life of the battery and an "about" section that will tell you the serial number and firmware version of each speaker. The speaker's battery percentage is displayed alongside the name and picture of the speaker. Lastly, while playing music the artist and song title can be displayed in the app, along with the ability to adjust the volume and play/pause/rewind/skip. The battery seems to last forever. I've played multiple hours of music for several days in a row and still have 71% battery life remaining off my original charge - which is done via USB-C by the way. On the speaker itself you have a power button and pairing button located on the top. Additionally, you have a 5 bar LED light indicator for the battery level. On the front facing speaker there is a manual toggle that can be used for play/pause/skip/rewind/answer/hangup. On the rear of the speaker is a strap that can be used to attach the speaker to just about anything you can think of - handlebars, fencing, mirror, car door, etc. With the waterproof rating this is a truly portable speaker that can be taken just about anywhere. Last but definitely not least is the audio quality. I am a HUGE fan of the Marshall signature sound. The other presets are great in their own right, but I rarely move away from the Marshall preset. This speaker gets really loud as well and whether listening at lower indoor volumes or louder outdoor party type volumes, the audio is on point. No degraded sounds and clear sound production all the way around. I really enjoy listening to my music through this Marshall Willen II. Do yourself a favor and make the purchase. I don't think you'll find yourself anything but happy you did!

I got my Marshall Willen II Bluetooth Speaker about a week ago and have been using it pretty regularly since. I used to play guitar and loved Marshall amps, the aesthetic of this speaker really plays into the iconic amplifier look. First impressions are strong with not only the look but also the feel of the speaker. It really feels like something that could take a fall and keep on working. It feels intended for outdoor use. Initial set up with the app was very quick and easy. It was also quickly charged up and paired to my phone. The strap on the back is nice as well. We attached it to a branch on out first outdoor excursion to test it out. One little fun feature for this speaker is little guitar rift it plays when it is turned off and on. This is a cool little touch that I really like. Once we were all set we ventured out on a little walk to give it a full test. Once we got to our spot we used the strap to attach it to a nearby branch and started off with some Pink Floyd tunes. Initial response is good. Not sure if I would say great sound, but very solid. The bass is surprisingly good for a single small speaker like this. The high pitched sounds did not always great to me. Not terrible, but not as crisp as some speakers I’ve used. Overall I would say the sound is pretty good. There are 3 different sound settings available on the app. One provides even more base, a really impressive amount for such a small speaker. The other cleaned up the high tones at the cost of the lower tones. This setting seems ideal for podcasts. Overall though for being such a small speaker the sound is excellent. The speaker is also dust and waterproof and combined with the solid feel of the speaker overall I feel very comfortable using this as my outdoor and travel speaker. There is a nice little joystick like button that has a simple yet great design. Quickly jump forward or back thru the tracks you are listening to or easily adjust volume up and down. The battery life is excellent as well. They claim 17 hours and that feels about right. All in all I am very happy with this speaker. Good sound in a very small and durable feeling case with a decent app and a great overall look with impressive battery life. I have to say this is a solid 5* device. If I knew someone looking for a small good sounding speaker that is durable with good batter life, I would absolutely recommend it to a friend.

I love Marshall audio products and have owned several portable Bluetooth speakers (small, medium and large sizes), a headphone and my son begged for years for a Marshall guitar amp, which he loves. I love the innovation that Marshall is taking to all product lines and the Willin II is an update to the original Willin. Good things come in small packages and the Willin II does not disappoint. The attention to the smallest detail is evident. Pairing was a breeze. Download the Marshall app to your smartphone or tablet and pair the two by following the onscreen prompts. Once connected you can get down to business. I fired up my favorite music streaming app and hit play and the sound coming from the Willin II is great. Very clear and with the equalizer presets you can get the sound quality that fits best what you are listening to. Either the standard Marshall EQ, or you can set to Push which punches up the bass and treble or Voice EQ which focuses more on getting a clearer vocal. The joystick control is very intuitive. Push to play/pause, up and down for volume up/down, left and right for play last or next. The top sports a bar graph for battery life and a great feature is the quick release rubber strap for easy attaching to a backpack rather than the other brand solutions of carabiners or loop straps. The implementation makes it easier to control how the speaker faces instead of loosely flopping around it stays firm. So far my only gripe is there is no user customizable EQ settings. You are stuck with the 3 presets. You can always use your smart device's EQ (if your streaming app supports it) but it would be nice if the Marshall app allowed you to fine tune to your desired settings. So, a strong B+ or maybe an A- for these speakers and really for me it just comes down to not being able to fine tune my EQ... I suffer from tinnitus and moderate to severe hearing loss so some frequencies don't sound right if I can hear them at all so using a full functioning equalizer allows me to fine tune to punch out of my dead zones. But in the end the Willin II performs amazingly and perfect for those on the go.

I recently got my hands on the Marshall portable Bluetooth speaker, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in many ways. This speaker is a perfect blend of style and functionality, making it a great addition to any music lover's collection. First off, the design is sleek and compact, making it incredibly easy to carry around. Despite its small size, the build quality is impressive. It feels sturdy and well-constructed, which gives me confidence in its durability. When it comes to sound quality, the Marshall speaker truly shines. The clarity of the sound is remarkable, delivering crisp and clear audio that enhances the listening experience. While it may not have the booming volume and deep bass that some larger speakers offer, it still provides a solid and enjoyable sound. This makes it perfect for personal use or small gatherings where you don't need overwhelming volume. One of the standout features of this speaker is its Bluetooth connectivity. Pairing it with my devices was a breeze, and the connection remains stable even at a distance. The setup process was incredibly simple, taking just a few moments to get everything up and running. Battery life is another area where this speaker excels. It holds a charge for hours on end, allowing for extended listening sessions without the need to constantly recharge. This is particularly convenient for outdoor activities or when you're on the go. Overall, the Marshall portable Bluetooth speaker is an amazing piece of technology. It combines a sleek design, solid build quality, and impressive sound clarity into a compact package. While it may not be the loudest speaker on the market, its ease of use, reliable Bluetooth connection, and long battery life make it a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a high-quality portable speaker. I highly recommend it!

The Marshall - Willen II Portable Bluetooth Speaker is a very handy, high-quality, and durable Bluetooth speaker. Despite its compact size (it is only about 4 inches wide by 4 inches tall by less than 2 inches deep), it has amazing sound quality and power I was not expecting although I should have known better given that this device is a Marshall branded product. With 17+ hours of portable playtime, this Marshall – Willen II speaker has very impressive battery life. The fact that the battery can quickly be topped-up to about 5.5 hours of playtime with only a 20 minute charge is equally impressive although I doubt I will ever be in a position where the 17+ hours of playtime at once is ever not enough. Another thing that is very impressive about this Willen II speaker is how durable it is. It is designed to be dust and waterproof (IP67 rating meaning it can be submerged in 3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes). Considering how small and portable it is, durability is a very important factor and the Willen II certainly meets the minimum durability requirements I would expect from a speaker specifically designed for portability and use in various environments. One other feature I really like is the built-in microphone. This allows the Bluetooth speaker to also be used to take calls hands-free which is convenient when you receive a call while already streaming music to the speaker. The fastening strap really comes in handy as well since it makes it easy to strap it to my hiking pack when I’m out on hikes and want to have some music running in the background. Overall, the Marshall - Willen II Portable Bluetooth Speaker is a durable, high-quality speaker and I highly recommend it!

From the moment I unboxed the new Marshall Willen 2 portable speaker, I could tell that this was something special. Aesthetically, it carries that signature Marshall styling with a leather-grain look rubber surround that gives it a rugged yet vintage look, paired with the iconic gold toggle switch that feels satisfying to use. It's incredibly compact, making it ideal for taking anywhere, but despite its small size, it feels like a high-quality, durable piece of gear. The included fastening strap is a nice touch too—perfect for securely attaching the speaker to a bag, bike, or wherever you want to bring your music. The battery life is equally impressive. Marshall claims up to 17 hours, and I put it to the test by streaming music for an entire 12-hour work shift. By the end of the day, I still had nearly 50% battery life left, which is seriously impressive for such a small speaker. This means you can easily take it on a weekend trip without worrying about constantly recharging. Now, onto the sound—which blew me away. For its size, the Willen 2 packs a full, robust sound that can easily fill a room. The bass is deep, and the mids and highs are clear, making it hard to believe all of this is coming from such a tiny portable speaker. Whether you’re at home, in the office, or out and about, the sound quality stays consistent and full, making it a perfect companion for any scenario. This speaker has quickly become my favorite portable Bluetooth device. The combination of iconic design, portability, long battery life, and impressive sound quality makes the Marshall Willen 2 a standout in the crowded portable speaker market. Whether I’m working, riding, or just hanging out, this speaker delivers on all fronts.

This speaker may be small in size but powerful in sound. Built for portability, this speaker does it all. Pretty nice looking as well. I own a Willen I and the second version isn’t too much of a leap from the first. I like that the power button was moved from the gold button in the front to a dedicated power button on the top. The gold button is now used for music controls which I thought was a clever idea making navigation a lot easier. It still comes with the nice little strap the first version had that allows versatility in placement of the speaker. I can imagine a bike rider loving this feature because it would be easy to strap to a bike. Of course it being waterproof adds to how versatile the speaker is and how many different environments it can handle. I love the small size because you’re able to carry nearly everywhere. Don’t let the small size fool you. It’s actually powerful enough to handle a small gathering of friends. While it can handle a group, it can also handle being used as a speaker for work. This is where I use it the most. I use it for music and I use it for meetings. The sound is very clear and from what I can tell I can be heard very clearly. Battery life is only a few hours more than the first version but 17 hours is more than enough. I rarely charge it. Marshall also has an app that’s used in conjunction with the speaker. You can adjust your sound to your liking with the equalizer. Customize it by using the available presets too. Overall I love this little speaker. It definitely packs a punch. You will not be disappointed.

Hello friends and welcome to my review of the new Marshall Willen II . Let me begin by saying the packaging was on point, no way this unit will be damaged in shipping. Also the thought put into the boxing is great. Best buy double boxed this unit as well so no shipping issues at all. Upon opening the box you will find a quick start guide and the Willen 2 with a charging cable that is USB C. Looking at the unit itself you will find that this unit is well made. The case looks like one of Marshalls large guitar amps. The screen over the speaker even looks like the classic amp grills. The difference is that this material is strong and can take a drop to the floor no problem. The case is also covered with Marshalls signature leather like material. This stuff is heavy duty and can take a lot of abuse. Also, Marshall decided to make the Willlen 2 a dust proof and water proof unit. That makes taking it along with you anywhere, not an issue. Now how does it sound? Well let me tell you i really like the sound, because it is pure Marshall goodness. I don't know how they do it but this little guy sounds big and i mean big. Surprising due to how small it is. Bass is smooth and even. Mids are just right with a clear sound. And the highs are balanced well with everything else. I am very happy with how it sounds compared to the budget style units i have tried in the past. That had a thin sort of sound to them, due to poor speakers. My favorite part of the Willen 2 is the strap on the back. I can put it on my belt and go. This leaves my hands free for other things and i always have my tunes with me sounding big! Do i recommend the Willen 2 ? OW yes!

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 packs impressive sound quality in a compact design, making it a great companion for those who love music on the go. The rugged, retro look, which is signature to Marshall, gives it a stylish edge, while the rubberized finish ensures durability, even in outdoor settings. Its lightweight build, along with the convenient carrying strap, makes it easy to take anywhere. The speaker offers a powerful, clear sound with crisp highs and a punchy bass that belies its small size. Its 15-hour battery life ensures your tunes keep playing, and the quick-charge feature is a useful addition for those times you need a fast boost. The multi-directional knob is intuitive, allowing for easy control of volume and playback. Bluetooth 5.1 ensures a stable connection, with minimal dropouts, even at a decent distance. The Marshall Willen II is perfect for music lovers seeking a balance of classic style, portability, and high-quality sound in a compact speaker.

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. The sound quality is quite impressive for its size. Downloading and installing the Marshall Bluetooth allows you to change the EQ settings and other settings. The speaker tends to get the best sound with bass in Punch mode.Battery life is quite impressive as well. Overall, I’m impressed with this speaker which is great for travel and other needs.

Honestly Sounds perfect, i thought it would’ve been a little low but the sound is very loud for how small the speaker is !

Excellent speaker for my garage bar, sounds great very loud

Great buy. Good quality and sound. Got it in sale too
