It's hard to stand out in the Bluetooth speaker arena if you don't have a unique selling point. Marshall's thing is to trade heavily on rocker vibes, with speakers that look like guitar amps. In the case of the Marshall Kilburn II, this is no gimmick. It sounds as good as it looks.

Gorgeous design; Excellent build; Powerful sound; Splashproof

Could do with greater separation

The idea of a Marshall speaker sounds like it could be a bit of a gimmick, an amp-stack-shaped thing for a teenager’s bedroom. Its Marshall Kilburn II shows this really isn’t the case, though. This is a serious wireless speaker with big, energetic sound and an attractive, practical design, with plenty of that classic Marshall whiff. It doesn’t have the deepest bass or the most convincing mids in this class. But it is a lot of fun, and those amp-ode control knobs are far more useful than you might imagine.

Legendary British amp manufacturer Marshall has followed up its popular Kilburn speaker with its "stout-hearted hero" sibling, the Kilburn II, available now for RRP $499.99. As someone who grew up around electric guitars, basses, and rock music co

Disappointed in the changes- no longer has AUX input. Wake button- in exchange for what- higher version Bluetooth! Not necessary. I liked the Gold trim on the older model. The sound is the same- I might add that the older one sounds a bit better separation. Shame!

Omg, what an amazing little speaker. The sound is amazing and being able to adjust the bass and treble only makes this more fantastic. It is a lovely size and the carry handle is a great added bonus. It is so quick and easy to connect and since I've had it i no longer use my other music system.

"I'm loving the speaker so far. The basses and the treble buttons are really useful. The speaker could be used for a night out cause it's very loud. The only drawback is the weight, but it is still carriable with the strap."

Besides the power, I love the ability to shape the output tone with individual bass and treble controls, the long battery life and meter that shows how much battery life is left. Great at low volume and when you feel like Cranking it Up to 10.
