Marshall Acton III Bluetooth Home Speaker, Black

Listening to iHeartRadio on my phone it really brings out the sound its so awesome

I have tried the JBLs..Tribits, Anker Soundcores...so so and they distort at all frequencies..regardless of the volume level..So..I get this Marshall Acton 3 yesterday and I am in heaven..my god why did I wait..wonderful sound ..excellent construction..For good sound you simply need a larger ..wooden enclosure..Even my Spotify music sounds wonderful..dont hesitate..get this speaker

The ability to tune the sound like I was on a soundboard of a studio. Really !!!

The speaker arrived safely packaged and had some weight to the box, which is generally a good sign. The quality of the exterior definitely caught my eye. It looks very sharp and classy. The volume, treble, and bass knobs all use LEDs to show their levels since the speaker can be controlled through the Marshall Bluetooth app. It also includes a 3.5mm AUX input, pause / FFD /RWD controls, and nice large toggle power button. Connecting to Bluetooth was very easy and intuitive. Just hold down the Bluetooth button till it makes a noise and the light starts flashing, then it will appear on the phone as ACTION III. Once I connected, a popup appeared with a link to download the Marshall Bluetooth app from the Google store. This automatic notificaiton may depend on your phone and OS version. Within the app, I was able to update the firmware on the speaker. This process took a few minutes to complete. From there, I was able to adjust a setting for placement compensation. Is it close to an edge? Is it free standing, against a wall, or in the corner? Since I use this at the edge of the living room table to send music and audiobooks towards the kitchen and the rest of the house, close to an edge and free standing was the obvious choice. The only other settings you can control is the bass and treble levels. Volume is governed by your phones main volume control. As for the sound quality, this is an excellent speaker, especially for its price tag. The sound is crisp and clear with no distortian even at 100%. The max volume of the speaker is perfect for a house speaker. We honestly wouldnt want it any louder. I recorded it around 95 dBa normally with an occasional jump to 102 / 103 dB depending on what was playing. The frequency range is good and it can get down to the upper sub bass frequencies (40Hz). Youll hear the bass, but you wont feel since this is only a tabletop speaker. That being said, I was still impressed with how it played the various music I threw at it. This is definitely my favorite (non-battery powered) Bluetooth speaker we own. Ill come down in the morning, flip it on, and start playing my audio book, music, or the news from my phone and I can hear it nice and clear throughout the first floor of the house as well as mostly clear going down into the basement. I can also wash the dishes in the kitchen and still hear and understand what Im listening to.

Had 1 before for yrs , it finally quit working . Did not hesitate to buy another . This 1 comes with app and equalizer . At full volume , no distortion . Neighbor not real happy as it in the front of the garage.

I 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.

What you need to know when considering this speaker, is that it is very much an indoor speaker. It is powered, not portable (i.e., no rechargeable battery) and no water resistance. It has a really nice, full, well rounded sound. I doubt bass fans could do any better. That is not to say that this speaker is all about bass, it just handles it better than most. It is a very powerful speaker for its size, which almost goes without saying, but there, I said it. It is not just loud but sounds good at high volumes and low. I particularly like that it has gain control which you do not see often in blue tooth speakers, and then typically in much more expensive speakers, so you can tune it to your liking if you do not like the tuning out of the box. However, Marshall does tuning out of the box well. We have... a lot of equipment. My husband is a recording musician, and I spent years in alternative radio. There is definitely music we have which has not sounded better. I was/ am surprised that it does not have aptx, and that is my only complaint, but I have not noticed a lot of loss in detail, and the speaker does have aux in, so the entire issue can be sidestepped. This is really one of the better speakers to listen to rock and roll. I think it is what Marshall does best, and they do it very well.

Love it. Sound is amazing. Can’t go wrong with a Marshall’s

For 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.

The Bluetooth speaker is small in size, it has a classy look. The powerful sound is crazy! I got it for my bedroom…….. you can hear it and feel it through the house .
