Hey there, I am looking to invest in a good semi portable bluetooth speaker. Its main uses will be to connect to a projector (XGIMI Mogo Pro 2) in a 25m2 living room and my smaller bedroom and listen to music in my bedroom, the kitchen whilst cooking or in the bathroom. We have an old but pretty good stereo system in the living room to play CDs and Spotify via aux and will probably move my flatmates record player into the living room as well.
The projector is not stationary and will only be taken out when we watch something and the plan is to put the speaker on the coffee table in front of the couch as the wall we are projecting on is relatively far away. Fixed speakers are not an option due to the walls in our rental and the aesthetics. (I know not a perfect setup but has to work for us)
I do not need the speaker to be portable outside, just comfortably inside. I love the sound of my Marshall major IVs and mostly listen to indie rock, rock, some folk, indie pop and some rap (think somewhere between The Strokes, AM, Miles Kane, Kneecap, The big special, Odezenne, Kae Tempest, Bonaparte, Alt-J, BB Brunes, Franz Ferdinand and Austrian/German indie).
I’ve therefore looked into the Marshall speakers and am currently torn between the Middleton 2 and Kilburn 3. in sound examples on YouTube (I know not super reliable) the Middleton sounds much nicer to me, but the opinions and ratings I’ve found online are inconclusive to me and I am no expert. I like a warm sound a and a good deep bass but also really value when you’re able to distinctly hear all instruments and vocals and am really unsure what works best for watching films as well.

Aesthetics is also a big point for me where Marshall just wins, I sadly find JBL terribly unpleasant to look at for example. But any other suggestions are also very welcome!

TLDR: Semi portable inside speaker for watching films with a projector & listening to music. Middleton 2 or Kilburn 3? Or something else entirely? Budget is around 200-300€ max.

Thank you!

It was claimed that Willen 2 is LE-audio ready and supports Auracast. Still, I seem to find no way to make my Pixel 11 Pro to send audio to two of those speakers simultaneously through auracast. So are these speakers really supporting the technology? Would they at all?

Is the page/account on shein real or fake?

Has anyone with Marshall Major 5 headphones an issue where they turn off automatically 5–10 seconds after being switched on, and encountered interference and electrical hissing when the cable in moving, whether while listening music or when the headphones are turned off? If so, how did you fix it?

Hi, I have this hope to add a Marshall device to my Google Chromecast Speaker Group, so that music/movie audio syncs across my house wirelessly with diff speaker devices.

I have a Stanmore II voice and it doesn't work (and also they didn't update the chromecast version/firmware anymore).

Anyone know if the latest speakers that suppoet chromecast are any better? Which models specifically?

I believe the only ones that suppoet chromecast now are the ff, but I could be wrong:

- uxbridge

- heston 60/120

I’m curious whether other Marshall users have noticed the same thing.

For me, the disappointment started with the Major V and continued with the Milton A.N.C. My reference point is the Major IV, which I personally find much more satisfying when it comes to rock music.

My problem isn’t simply bass quantity. It’s the impact, punch, and character of the sound.

The kick drum doesn’t hit as hard. The snare lacks that sharp, physical crack. The bass guitar has lost its density and presence. Instead of a tight, energetic, organic rock sound, I hear deeper but softer bass that feels more processed and digitally polished.

In short, the sound feels closer to modern pop than to the raw energy I expect from Marshall.

Deep bass is not the same as punchy bass. You can have plenty of low frequencies and still lose the impact that makes drums and bass guitar exciting.

I know that the Milton A.N.C. offers modern features, ANC, and impressive battery life. But I bought into the Marshall sound, not just the design, logo, or feature list.

And if I need to spend time tweaking EQ settings just to get closer to the sound I enjoyed on an older model, I have to ask whether the original tuning is moving in the wrong direction.

I’m not claiming that everyone hears it the same way. This is my personal experience, and I’d genuinely like to hear other opinions.

Questions for owners:

• If you own both the Major IV and Major V, which one has the better drum impact and bass-guitar definition?
• Milton A.N.C. owners: do you find the bass punchy and tight, or deep but soft?
• Has anyone noticed a meaningful change in sound after a firmware update?

I’m interested in honest comparisons, including opinions that disagree with mine.

Marshall built its reputation on rock. Is that rock sound still there, or has the brand moved towards a more mainstream, lifestyle-oriented sound?

Let’s discuss. 🎸

I'm new to marshall, i researched a bit and found out these 2 marshall headphones that are within my budget. For anybody owning either one or both, please tell me how you like it and that if they're as good as advertised.

Ordered a Marshall Acton III during BBD for ₹18,000, but received what appears to be a display/used unit. The seal was broken, the dustbag was missing, and the speaker was covered in dust.
I have open-box video proof. Extremely disappointing experience. Be careful if you’re ordering from this seller!
I did not except the delivery and got refunded for the same.

¡Ayuda! Tengo unos auriculares Marshall 4 y el auricular izquierdo no funciona. Lo abrí y encontré dos cables sueltos; los soldé y nada. Abrí el auricular derecho y también tiene dos cables sueltos, pero no sé dónde conectarlos. ¿Podrían ayudarme?

My Marshal IV headphones wont turn on when i take it off the charger, even after i press the control knob for however long. Ive tried factory reseting and it did nothing. Im confused because the light still turns on when it's on the charger and I can connect my phone to it, but it just turns right off as soon as i take it off. Any way to solve this?

Looking for recommendations to order a new set of control knobs for my 900 head.

So there is an ongoing sale and i can afford both. If you have tried ANC, what are your views on it?

I'm currently looking for a speaker (s) for my 1BR 750 sq ft. apartment. The living room is an open concept plan shared with the kitchen area. Primary use will be for music and audio books (bonus if it works well for movies/TV), and I don't want anything too bass heavy because of neighbors.

I've been drawn to Marshall for a while due to their reputation and the unique design). Current prices:

Emberton III: $99.99

Middleton: $149.99

Acton III: $189.99

Stanmore III: $249.99

I'm also interested in Harman Kardon and have heard good things about the Onyx 9 (169.99), Go + Play ($195), and Go+ Play 3 ($289).

If these are best use for music and not TV, I might get a JBL 300MK2 for $279.99.

Are any of these speakers good for home-use? Is it worth considering getting two emebertons or two middletons instead of an Acton or Stanmore? Any other thoughts or recommendations for speakers or soundbars? I'm trying to keep it somewhat budget friendly for the time being.

Hi guys, I'm thinking about buying the Marshall Monitor 3 ANC because I've been very interested in their speakers and headphones lately. Personally, as well as probably many others, the design appeals to me very strongly. It conveys retro vibe with old guitar amplifiers that you know from Marshall. However, I wonder if for the current price 240€ it is worth moving up from my soundcore Liberty 4nc according to a few ki analyses and website comparisons (but were only pure data sheet comparisons) the soundcore in ears are better what I can hardly imagine.... But that brings me to my next point with several comparisons lose according to the test report the Marshall headphones mostly on cheaper devices or in ear headphones compared to large Marshall on or over ears. This gives me the feeling that you are paying for the style and the brand rather than functions or sound quality. Therefore the question what do you think of the Marshall Monitor 3 ANC and has someone made a similar jump and can talk about his experiences precisely because I have always believed that over ear are better than in ears is that confirmed?

I have a Marshall Kilburn speaker that I accidentally dropped, and it stopped working properly afterward. While trying to repair it, I removed the ribbon cable connecting the motherboard to the control panel and accidentally damaged the cable.

I ordered a replacement ribbon cable from Amazon. After installing it, the control panel powers on and the speaker appears to turn on normally. However, I’m getting either no sound or extremely low sound.

I’ve already tried performing a hard reset, but that didn’t solve the issue. I also noticed that two of the indicator lights on the control panel are not turning on, which makes me think there may still be a connection or hardware issue.

I’ve attached a picture showing how the control-panel lights look when the speaker is powered on. Do you have any suggestions on what could be causing the low/no audio and the two missing lights, or what I should check next?

Ps: none of the knobs seem to respond.

Hey guys been 2 years since I got an acton 3 and wanted to ask what is the best way to clean it? I have the off white colour so it looks a bit dirty. Are we supposed to be using leather cream on this?

Got some monitors a few months ago & have recently been having issues with it pausing my Apple Music on my phone randomly, playing the connect/disconnect noise randomly too. Anyone have this happen with theirs and know the solution? :)

Thanks!

For Christmas, my parents gave me Marshall Major V headphones; they worked well, but for about a week now they’ve been turning off constantly. REALLY CONSTANTLY. I don’t know what to do because I’ve reset them many times, I looked for information in the app about what to do in this situation, and on Reddit too, but nothing helps. They don’t turn off that quickly anywhere else except my phone (everything works fine on the tablet). I got them on December 31, but I don’t know how long the warranty lasts. If anyone has been in a similar situation, please tell me what I should do. I feel guilty because they’re expensive, but they lasted so little time.
