> 24 hourThis is a truly impressive little bluetooth home speaker. It is not really portable (you can move it around easily but...), as it requires and 110vAC connection to operate. The speaker is quite dense and well made. I assume the faux leather covering is some sort of PU leather, but it is quite soft to the touch. It doesnt feel plasticy at all. There is one spot on the bottom where you can the seam where the leather meets, but its not really noticeable. The power switch is a very solid and old school feeling toggle. The volume and equalizer knobs are reminiscent of music amps and operate smoothly with modern touch of LED indicators instead increment lines and a pointer. Bluetooth pairing is simple and when you connect to the speaker, it prompts you to download the Marshall app from your respective app store. The app makes pairing easy...but seems to be a bit unnecessary, as the only real use for it is to make custom EQ profiles. Overall, I couldnt be happier with the sound quality. It has a tremendous amount of bass, but isnt muddy or rattling. The sound does fill the room, which is surprising for such a small speaker. Voices are clear, good mid tones, and the highs (at least as high as these old ears can hear) are very clean. Im not an audiophile, but I can appreciate good sound. I recently got a set of IEMs and use those as my reference for high quality sound. I have to say this speaker holds its own. Its got a classic subdued look. You can hide it in the corner of the room or display as a prominent center piece in music themed house. Either way, the sound wont disappoint.

> 24 hourI was looking for a new speaker to replace a chargeable one that I had purchased roughly 10 years ago. I found this Marshall speaker and its appealing design caught my attention immediately! The speaker came very well packaged and it was very easy to pair with my cell phone using the provided app. The sound is great and with Volume 7 it was loud enough and very clear as well - I even went upstairs and could listen to it perfectly. The design of the speaker resembles a Marshal amp, so it took me back to memory lane when I hanged out with my rocker friends. I really liked the black and golden design/detail of the knobs and the power switch. I placed it on one of my night tables and it matched perfectly! Given its weight, I contemplate it can stay on such a table without any issues. It has been a couple of days since I received the speaker at home and friends that have stopped by have given compliments about the speaker! I definitely recommend this product.

> 24 hourOh boy. This is where the phrase comes to play. You get what you pay for!!! OMG let me tell you. I do make my own music and play on many different radios till it sound right. At least I think it right. Until this happened. I get this speaker and I plug it in. I installed the app. I turn on the music and its like Marty McFly all over again. The quality of the music just blew me away. I though I had bass in the music but no. This speaker just brought out everything in my music and much more. It like I never really heard my own music before. My wife and kid is not at home and you think I am going to let them use this? No way. I never see it again. Its that good. To mee it worth every penny. I know guitar amps named Marshall and they are really good too and this one is awesome. Dont belive me then hear it for your self. Good Luck to you and your new sound system. Oh ya forgot. Gave the battery a 1 star because it dont have one. It has a cord for the wall.

> 24 hourThe best bluetooth speaker i have ever heard. Looks just like Marshall speaker. Runs from app you download from the app store. The sound is amazing. I would have never imagined that much sound could come from such a small speaker. It packs a punch. Very impressed.

> 24 hourThis is a good looking speaker. The build quality is pretty good. I am really loving the retro design. I personally think the black and gold colorway really makes it stand out from some other speakers that Ive had. The size is just right and fits perfectly on my desk. The sound quality is great. This speaker has a nice crystal clear sound. The treble and bass sound very clean and not muddy like some other speakers that Ive had. For its size this thing gets loud. I like that it has the EQ settings on top. It makes it easier to adjust the sound to the way that I like it. You can also adjust the sound in the app but I really dont use it. In my opinion the app is pretty basic and useless. Pairing it to my iPad was easy. It was also easy to connect it to my Alexa. So far I am enjoying this speaker. I like it so much that I ordered one for my living room. This is one speaker that I would definitely recommend.

> 24 hourFor something about the size of a standard tissue box, this puts out awesome sound. You have to download the Marshall Bluetooth app to find it, which I wasnt thrilled about...but it does give some extra features and the app was available for my android phone as well as the chromebook I use in the wood shop, so Ive been able to use the speaker with everything I needed to. Now the sound: Hands down the best bluetooth speaker Ive used. Great quality, bass to rival a much larger system and it cranks loud enough to hear it over a table saw and shop vac running at the same time.

> 24 hourBought this for a night stand master bedroom speaker. I have a full system with two small REL subs and top of the line equipment in another master bedroom. Needed something small but didnt want to compromise on sound quality. Cost was not a factor. This little box gives me as much nighttime listening pleasure (at sleeping volumes and above) as my much larger and expensive system. Could not want anything more at this size and price point. My friend also commented on how excellent she thinks it sounds. I am beyond impressed! The app works well in terms of sound and placement adjustments and firmware update was super easy. Just simply brilliant!

> 24 hourThis little speaker has some big sound. PROS: Sound Quality, bass&treble adjustment knobs, built in subwoofer, sleek vinatge look, auxiliary plug, Bluetooth, App works flawlessly, is LOUD as hell. Cons: None to date In summary for this price you cannot find a speaker like this. Though i cant speak on the lifespan this little guy really did blow me away.
