Marshall Middleton Portable Bluetooth Speaker

If I could give this bluetooth speaker a 10-star rating, I would because it\'s that good! I am seriously in love with this speaker and trust me, I\'ve purchased some of the best in my pursuit of sound and performance, from Bose, JBL, Ultimate Ears, Anker, and while they were all good, nothing compares to this speaker at this price point.Marshall amplifiers are known for their tone, and volume. A piece of rock-and-roll history made famous by legendary guitarist Pete Townshend in the classic rock era of the 60s and the backdrop of nearly every concert performance by rock legends and still a mainstay in live music performances. This bluetooth speaker not only perfectly mimics the classic Marshall amplifier in looks, but also performance. A work of art featuring classic, timeless styling with modern features that are sure to make you smile. And it looks amazing sitting on a shelf with it\'s nostalgic nod to rock history.Here\'s what I love about this bluetooth speaker:* Quick bluetooth setup and connection. The setup is very discoverable and was super easy. Literally press the bluetooth button and search for the Marshall speaker on your phone under bluetooth devices and you\'re rocking! Plus, there is a great rock power chord notification when the bluetooth connection is established, and when turning it on/off. I absolutely love this little detail.* Separate bass/treble adjustments. This is something you generally don\'t find in most bluetooth speakers. I tend to use a custom EQ adjustment, on the Spotify app to compensate for the lack of such controls in other bluetooth speakers, but this detail just shows how much attention they pay to the little details that matter.* There is a red, multi-function LED light gauge on the top that shows the battery power level, as well as the level of the bass/treble settings when making adjustments.* Bass is the bane of most bluetooth speakers, but this device has wonderfully full, rich and balanced bass that doesn\'t sound boomy. The larger-sized cabinet not only mimics the classic style of a Marshall amplifier, but allows for a more resonant bass sound. The ventilation holes on all sides allows for better air movement of the speakers. The treble is crisp. Overall, great separation of tones with tight tonal characteristics.* The volume control is in sync with the phone volume control. Most speakers have volume adjustments that are separate from the phone. This is an important feature for many reasons. First, if you have your phone volume down low and then try to amplify that weak signal, you get distortion. Second, if you have your phone set to a loud volume and the speaker is also set to a loud volume, you run the risk of starting to play music at a volume that will wake the dead. And speaking of raising the dead, this speaker delivers in true rock-and-roll tradition of being able to deliver the goods in ear-splitting, joyous, clarity. It\'s great to turn it up and rock out!* The sonic field is impressive. The design of this speaker definitely fills the room with sound that is fuller and larger than the device. Placement is everything. I have no idea how the speakers are arranged inside the cabinet, but I definitely noticed the sound becomes more spacious when it has a wall or something to reflect the sound. Walk around with the speaker and try it out in different locations. Put it on a shelf, set it on a window sill in the kitchen, a bookshelf in your office and notice how the sound changes. If you turn around and close your eyes and simply listen, you\'ll be amazed at how large the sonic field becomes. It\'s impressive and generally something you can\'t achieve without moving your speakers apart.* Speaking of moving your speakers apart, one of the coolest features of this speaker is the ability to create your own sonic wall of sound by stacking additional Marshall bluetooth speakers. The ultimate rock-and-roll nostalgic head nod to the history of the classic Marshall stack. There is a stacking (pairing) feature that is a simple button press. I wish I could experience this as I\'m sure it\'s an amazing experience that would make me smile.* The case features a rubberized, leather looking material that is not only wonderfully tactile and satisfying, but clearly a feature that helps with the weatherization as this is supposed to be able to withstand the elements. It even comes with a nice, rubber wrist strap. I can\'t imagine subjecting this speaker to those conditions as I am simply in love with the looks, but it\'s supposed to be as rugged in the field as it is on the shelf. And there is a nice rubber cushion on the bottom of the speaker.* It\'s supposed to have a 20+ hour battery life. I\'ve had it on non-stop for 8+ hours a day and after a week, I am still only seeing the battery at 50%, so the battery performance is amazing. It includes a USB-C charging cord and an aux connection.Overall, I can\'t recommend this bluetooth speaker more highly. Especially if you have a passion for music and the classic Marshall amp legacy. Most quality speakers have a break-in period where they just get better and better over time. I\'ve thrown everything in my curated, eclectic playlists at this thing and it never fails to amaze me. Jazz, Rock, Country, R&B, Pop, and Rap and the performance and sound is simply amazing.A high performing bluetooth speaker that will spark a conversation sitting quietly on a bookshelf, or blow your socks off in an impromptu kitchen dance party. I can\'t stop looking at it and always look forward to my next music session as the music is always flowing and one of the greatest gifts we have in life.I always appreciate thoughtful, honest reviews and I hope you find my review helpful and insightful.
I have had many Bluetooth speakers throughout the years, JBL, Sony, Panasonic, and a bunch of knockoffs. JBL was always the king and by which all other Bluetooth speakers were measured against. That is about to change.Marshall has been around a long time. Marshall Amps have always been the gold standard for me. So when I saw that Marshall had gotten into the Bluetooth Speaker game, I had to try one out.The construction of this Marshall Middleton speaker is classic Marshall. Extremely stout - the enclosure case is every bit as stout as a Marshall Amp. I am 6\' 5\" and 275 pounds. I can literally stand on this speaker (don\'t recommend this) - that is how solid the construction is. And it is beefy in weight - somewhere between 5 and 7 pounds, would be my guess. These are extremely positive things when it comes to speakers. You want that beefiness so the speakers can BOOM with sound. Speakers mounted in a thin and light cabinet will not generate good bass and will sound tinny and thin.The Marshall Middleton fires sound out of all 4 sides - real 360 coverage. And that sound! From the lowest setting to full blast - no distortion. This speaker, that is about the size of a small loaf of bread, pushes the air that you really feel that bass in the chest when turned up.How does it stack up against the JBL Extreme (JBL\'s popular model at around the same price)? The Marshall is better constructed in a slightly smaller package. The Marshall Middleton sounds more rich at low and high volumes - and much less distorted at higher volumes. And this is saying quite a bit because the JBL Extreme is an awesome Bluetooth Speaker. But the Marshall Middleton is priced the same as the Extreme and the Marshall Middleton is just flat out better in sound and build.The controls on the Marshall are straightforward and very simple to operate. I love the fact that they are blended beautifully into the speaker so as to preserve that classic Marshall Amp look.I do not have another Marshall Bluetooth speaker to try out the \'Stack\' feature with the Marshall app. So I cannot really evaluate that. Two of these little speakers paired up and blasting would probably rattle the windows out of the house.Definite 10 out of 5 stars from me! Love this thing!
