Review: Never Looking for Another Portable Speaker - I perused many reviews of many speakers before settling on this one, and the word "settled" is misused here because this speaker is absolutely fantastic. Construction This speaker is made from quality materials; you can tell as soon as you pick it up. The rubber coating provides excellent grip and is easy to clean, the included strap is very sturdy, not weak, and you can tell this can survive being knocked about a little bit without circumstances. I'm surprised the mesh is made from plastic, not metal, but they did have to cut a little weight somewhere because this is not a light speaker. The weight does not bother me, though. Portability: This Middleton speaker is portable for me. You'd think that at this price point, a hard-shell cover would be included, but you can find those relatively cheap on desertcart here. ($25 will get you a good one). It's easy to carry around using the strap, and it should fit into just about any laptop backpack you have, but again; this speaker is not small and it is not light. I travel a lot, and I've had this speaker with me on Safaris, out in the desert, in the shower, in the middle of the ocean: it never let me down or inconvenienced me while I was on the move. Sound: The sound quality from this is great, but I would not call it excellent. I'm surprised that a speaker that costs $300 only supports SBC, no AptX or LDAC. Shame on you, Marshall. Despite that, the sound is still great and fills even medium-sized rooms with resonance. The added bass and treble controls are handy, and once you set your preferred levels there you probably won't touch them ever again. If you use the Aux port instead and connect to a source that outputs lossless quality, the sound changes dramatically for the better. The App: The app is very wonky. Sometimes it won't detect the speaker, especially if it's already playing music before I attempt to make the app. Connecting another Middleton for stacked play can be hit-or-miss. When it works, it's wonderful. I wish that When two or more Middletons were connected the app would split stereo into the two speakers instead of giving you the exact same sound from both. Customer Support: Customer support is among the best I've ever run into. My first speaker was damaged under warranty, and I was shipped a brand-new replacement immediately after going through the warranty claim. No delays. Charging: If I were you, I'd get a GaaN charger that's at least 100w with a 100W USB C-to-C cable to charge this thing. Regular USB chargers still work, but they take a lot longer. Also, bear in mind that there is no battery care in this device's firmware. (Why, Marshall, for a $300 speaker????). Once your speaker reaches %100 charge, it does not automatically stop charging, so keep an eye on it and disconnect it immediately. Don't leave it charging overnight. Niggles: 1. The mesh covering on the front is pushed into place, not secured by any screws like the rear mesh. This is weird. Though this speaker is built so sturdily that there is practically zero chance of it ever popping out unless you're playing football with it or something. 2. Marshall does sell spares, which is ridiculous. If the charging port on your perfectly-working speaker gets damaged outside of warranty, you have to throw the whole speaker away, rather than being able to buy the little board with the charging port online somewhere. This is unacceptable in this day and age. Overall: I love this speaker, and I will never look for another portable Bluetooth speaker. This satisfies all my needs.
Review: Clean loud portable sound with a "Live" quality - It looks good, it feels good, and yes: it sounds good. While it is a single portable speaker (tempting me to buy it a friend for "stack mode" with everything but it's price), it fills our living room with music. My wife and I both feel that the sound has a "live" quality to it, a bit like you are at a concert - even when you're not looking at the logo. It gets plenty loud, even for use out on our screened porch, but most of the volume seems to come in the last few notches of my phone's volume setting - maybe that's more a quirk of my phone than the speaker - but as a system it has a lot of adjustability up to about half volume, then the upper half of the volume range only has about 5 notches to choose from. The app settings are very basic, just treble and bass enhance from 1 to 10. I would have expected +/- levels, or at least a 0; and no it's not a SpinalTap custom unit, so you can't crank anything to 11. The app also helps to setup "stack" mode with 2 or more Middletons if you happen to have them, firmware update if that's ever necessary, and that's it. When the phone and Middleton were both plugged in charging, they had a little interference from the nearby microwave as it was cooking, silent dropouts in the music - that's probably just about any bluetooth product, especially when you have an unshielded 6' cable plugged into it. It did similar intermittent drop outs in playback when the phone was taken too far away. The soft rubber case seems very durable, and it prevents unwanted rattles and hums with the table when the U2 gets loud. The sound does project nicely in all directions, 360 degrees. As compared with my ~$50 each pair of Earfun Ubooms, the single Middleton is clearly a better portable sound solution: louder, easier to carry than 2 Ubooms, and better sound overall when playing at equal volumes.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how to recharge?**
A: Plug it in.

**Q: How does it sound outdoors? I feel that most 360 speakers need walls to sound great.**
A: I understand your trepidation however I used the Marshal outside all summer long and to my ears it delivered big, smooth sound as loud as I wanted with nothing behind it. No walls needed to help with the bass.

**Q: What is the Bluetooth range?**
A: Good

**Q: You you link more than one speaker together can you play them in stereo or do each just play both left and right parts of a song?**
A: I have not been able to even link two of these to play together!  But the instructions that I have read many times say that they would not be in stereo if played together.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Sound and Quality
*by M***S on May 29, 2024*

Oh my! I have always wanted to try out a Marshall speaker and since our old portable Sony finally died on us - it lasted about 15 years, I knew Marshall was a quality speaker system with my husband being an audiophile nerd lol. We own some old school theater Ushers in pristine condition are amazing. Anyhow, ordered the black Marshall’s since we’ll be taking this camping. The rubber surrounding the unit is thick to protect the box and the carrying handle is sturdy and strong. It’s heavy too like a real speaker should feel like from the inside components. It just means that they’re aren’t any cheap plastics inside. Controls are integrated and a little hard to see in the dark but it is clearly labeled once you light on it. The on/off button is the big metal button that also serves as the forward/backwards and volume. The battery indicator is red and has easy to see bright bars. Bluetooth is easy to use and the sound! Oh boy, use the default setting for the bass and go up one push for the treble and you can clearly hear the middle and high notes! Definitely no Bose here - you know that saying, “no highs, no lows - it must be Bose!” Lol. “Into the Air Tonight,” sounded absolutely amazing when I tested the music! It’s definitely got volume that’s and clear! No wimpy cheap speakers here. As for the price, well, you get what you pay for here, and it’s definitely worth the price! Heck, if you get two of them, you’ll get a set of quality inside speakers for your TV system or to use outside as well!
