Marshall Speaker Rankings and Reviews

Coverage note. Speaker Ranking currently covers 18 Marshall models across portable bluetooth speakers and powered speakers. These are the products in our database, not a complete list of everything Marshall makes.

This page lists all 18 Marshall speakers ranked on this site, split between portable Bluetooth models and powered tabletop speakers, each showing where it places in its category.

Marshall is a styling brand, and the rankings say so plainly. The best placement anywhere in the range is #11, in both the large and small portable classes. Nothing reaches a top ten. The recurring measured complaints are consistent across a decade of products: modest bass extension, peaky upper mids, and low maximum output relative to price. The Woburn III is described in our notes as hollow-sounding with peaky upper mids; the Middleton II has boosted bass that drowns the midrange, a dip at 200 Hz and a peak at 1 kHz.

That is not the same as saying don’t buy one. The gold-piping-and-script-logo look is genuinely well executed, the build quality is good, the controls are tactile in a way almost nothing else in this market bothers with, and the products age well physically. If you want an object that looks right on a shelf and sounds decent, that is a legitimate purchase and the portable buyer’s guide makes the case that styling is a real requirement rather than a frivolous one. Just buy it knowing what the measurement gap is, rather than believing the price implies performance.

One quirk worth flagging. Several Marshall portables apply DSP reverb to widen the sound. It is noted in the Stockwell 2’s cons and some listeners find it irritating once heard. It cannot be turned off on the models that have it.

If the look matters most but you want better sound, the closest alternatives at each size and price are in the portable buyer’s guide and the powered speaker buyer’s guide.

Prices on this page were last checked September 16, 2026 at 12:41 AM UTC. Product prices and availability are accurate as of that date/time and are subject to change; the price and availability shown on Amazon at the time of purchase will apply to the purchase of this product.

Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers

Ranked #11 of 47 in Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Marshall Willen II: $129.99 Amazon eBay

Pros: More balanced than the first Willen, no sharp treble. Measured bass extension of 70Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Not that deep of bass. Fairly low max output vs pricier speakers; midrange can sound a bit congested at volume. No aux input.

Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers

Ranked #102 of 142 in Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Marshall Emberton III: $160.04 Amazon eBay

Pros: 30 hour battery life - among the best in its class; a 20 min quick-charge gives 4 hours. IP67 rated, durable rubbery build using 50% recycled plastic. Measured bass extension of 62Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Strange unnatural echo-like sound coloration, bass not as deep as competitors. Not technically a 360 speaker, only front and rear. Not very loud. Not really any different from the Emberton II except having the treble turned down a little bit.

Ranked #28 of 78 in Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Marshall Middleton II: $330 Amazon eBay

Pros: Very deep bass for the size/weight. Measured bass extension of 38Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Bass boosted which drowns out the midrange. Dip around 200hz, peak at 1khz, dipped at 1.6khz. Strange frequency response through the mids.

Ranked #31 of 78 in Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Marshall Middleton: $225.18 Amazon eBay

Pros: Very deep bass for the size/weight. Measured bass extension of 39Hz (-10dB).

Cons: 5db dip at 1.7khz and 6.3khz. 9khz treble peak. Not a very smooth frequency response. A lot of Marshall’s added dsp echo which cannot be turned off, very distracting and annoying. It’s like forcing you to listen to your music in an echo chamber. Bass is reasonably deep but artificial sounding and flabby, with no attack and no dynamics. Treble is rolled off.

Ranked #56 of 78 in Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Marshall Stockwell III: $249.99 Marshall eBay

Pros: 40+ hour battery life with a user-replaceable battery, strap, sleeve and grilles. Doubles as a USB-C power bank. IP55 dust/water resistance. App includes parametric EQ, a Soundstage widening control, and wall/corner placement compensation. Endless-rotation control knobs.

Cons: Highs are recessed by default and need the treble control maxed to compensate, still lacking detail even then. Bass tends to sound resonant and boomy, with reported frequency cancellation and phase issues on complex material that EQ doesn’t fully resolve. No aptX support.

Large Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers

Ranked #12 of 12 in Large Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Marshall Bromley 750: $1,299.99 Amazon eBay

Pros: Much wider, more consistent off-axis dispersion than the JBL Partybox 720, which only fires forward - the Marshall’s standout feature, sounding about the same from any angle.

Cons: Not as deep bass as the JBL Partybox 330 or JBL Partybox 720. Not a great frequency response overall, with some midrange peaks. Only basic bass/treble controls, no full custom EQ like the JBL Partybox 720’s app. Default bass (dynamic mode) is overdone out of the box and needs trimming.

Medium Size Powered Desktop Speakers

Ranked #5 of 13 in Medium Size Powered Desktop Speakers - Marshall Woburn I: $500 each Discontinued eBay

Pros: A substantial mains-powered stereo speaker with two 5.25-inch woofers, two tweeters, 90W output and physical bass and treble controls. It supports Bluetooth with aptX plus RCA and 3.5mm aux inputs, so it is a flexible single-box system for a desk, living room or turntable setup. Measured bass extension of ~50Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Its midrange can be peaky while the upper treble rolls off, and bass reaches only around 50Hz in practice rather than matching deeper modern speakers. At 7.9kg it is not portable, has no app, Wi-Fi or multi-speaker mode, and this discontinued first-generation model should be checked carefully before buying used. Discontinued.
