Marshall Stockwell II Wireless Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Black & Brass

Update after Three Year's use __________________________ Mostly this has been very reliable having been in daily use most of the time and surviving being dropped more than once. On one occasion it just locked up, would not turn off or respond in any way, but had a flashing red light. After about an hour or so it seemed to recover and since then it has been nearly ok apart from one quirk. Sometimes when it is still 'awake' and waiting for the next bluetooth input, it will emit a quiet sort of click or scratch sound at intervals of a few seconds. That seems to go away when an actual audio signal is received. One major annoyance - the sound it makes on connect/disconnect is too loud and cannot be adjusted in any way. A purely visual signal would be better. Original review below: ------------------------- Easily carried from room to room. It's ok by the bedside for quiet listening as well as louder when needed. The gold nameplate and knob finish is a nice touch. Generous bass for such a tiny box - better than any transistor radio of a similar size that I ever heard. Bluetooth connection to phone or tablet is excellent. It's good for spoken voice radio as well as watching films or TV, but really shines with music of various types, from folk through jazz and classical, even bass-heavy rock and pop. There is some sort of stereo effect, but not spectacular. Place it near a wall or in a corner for even fuller bass. It has been mentioned elsewhere that the 3.5mm cable connection is flawed, I found that too - the device rapidly goes into a sleep mode in a couple of seconds, then wakes up just after the next track or sound has begun. Having said that, I've used a 3.5mm lead to listen to a talk on BBC R4 and it was ok. Use bluetooth where possible instead, no problems there. This is a modestly powered speaker, if you want ear-shattering volume, then look for something larger and more powerful. At £144 when purchased, a reasonably-priced way to add a bit of oomph inevitably lacking on most built-in device speakers. Overall, definitely recommended.

I am extremely impressed with its sound quality and design. The speaker has a retro look that is reminiscent of Marshall's classic guitar amplifiers and it adds a touch of nostalgia to the overall aesthetic. The sound quality of this speaker is exceptional. It has a powerful and clear sound that fills the room with rich and dynamic audio. The bass is deep and tight, the mids are clear and the highs are crisp and not harsh. I was surprised at how loud the speaker can get while still maintaining the clarity of the sound. It's perfect for listening to music, podcasts or watching videos. The battery life on this speaker is also impressive, it lasts for over 20 hours on a single charge, which is perfect for those long days at the beach or for a weekend trip. It also has a USB-C port for quick charging, which is a great feature. The controls on this speaker are intuitive and easy to use, and it also has a built-in microphone for taking calls, which is a great added feature. It also has a 3.5mm input for connecting non-Bluetooth devices. I would highly recommend the Marshall Stockwell II to anyone looking for a high-quality and stylish portable speaker. It has a great sound quality and design, and it's perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. The battery life is impressive, and the controls are user-friendly. It's a great speaker for anyone who loves music and wants a portable option to take with them on the go.

Its definitely not the best audio quality. Obviously there are incredibly high-end systems for scientific purposes. However, for an audio pleb, this is one of the best. Especially for the fact that its a portable speaker bluetooth speaker. The audio that comes out of its speakers is rich, clean and detailed. Its loud if you want it, and full of bass if that's to your taste. If feels solid and well built. Has a fair amount of heft to it. The bits that let it down. Its heft - its a bit on the heavy side to carry around everywhere, everyday. Takes a while to charge. For a lightly water resistant device (more like splash proof), it would be nice to have covered ports. Furthermore, I would happily forego the inclusion of a carry handle for covered ports.

I have to give this speaker five stars because I dropped it in the bath today -- it was literally sinking in the water, slipped out of my freaked-out hands, and then fell again -- and I dried it off and it sounds like nothing happened. Incredible! That said, the speaker sounds perfect when turned all the way up with bass and trebel at full throddle. Otherwise the sound performance is a bit weak for its price. It's great for a bedroom or perhaps even poolside, but not for a gathering of more than ten people, say. The Marshall II is better bang for your buck.

I loved the sound quality for the size. I loved the build I loved the sound when Playing a movie trailer it's like being in a mini cinema. The texture. The weight and the controls are awesome. I had it on full volume on my phone and full volume on the speaker. After 3 hours 60% of battery life was used. I could not really hear it well whilst working. I was out powered by a speaker at work which was a lot cheaper priced. I went to see this massive speaker and found it was half the size as my marshall. All being said I wouldn't swap it . But I think it's overpriced. If Marshall don't believe me get in touch.

I watched many reviews on Youtube before buying this portable bluetooth speaker, and I'm so glad that I made this choice. The speaker is a lovely size and weight, and the strap really finishes it off nicely. I really enjoy the small touches like the way the battery level indicator smoothly scrolls up to max when I switch the speaker on, the satisfying quality "click" feel when I turn the volume know to power-on the speaker, the USB-C charging port (which doubles as a phone charger if I need it to), the very slightly warm Marshall sound signature, the bluetooth pairing sound that's identical to my Marshall Mid ANC headphones. It's a modern-day piece of audio artwork. A real gem.

I’m impressed with this. After owning 2 UE Boom portable devices which the batteries fail within a year, this device is far better. Battery charges well and seems to last a while. The sound quality is on par with the regular UE Boom (opposed to Mega); but still not quite up to scratch compared to the much more expensive Bose - which again that seems bulletproof. It does not seem to pair up with a second speaker - doesn’t matter. The carry strap is slightly naff. Shame they don’t pack it very well; comes out crooked. Everything about this seems to ooze quality. The dials. The finish. It hooks up to your device - mobile - through Bluetooth easily. Really happy to take this around the house and garage. A great little stand-in for when the hi-fi separates are taking a rest.

I was looking for a good speaker that provides aux input for playing wind instrument. I spent a lot of time looking for a portable speaker with aux port, unfortunately all the reasonable good speakers (JBL, B&O, BOSE etc) has all decided taken out the aux port for portable speakers... I decided give this a try as there isn't any good choices there. However it turned out the speaker is able to produce very clear vocal and instrumental sound. I tested with my midi controller as well as digital pianos, and I am very pleased with it. The size of the speaker is a lot smaller than I expected - as it seems to be a lot bigger in the picture but it is really portable once you have it in hands. I am very happy with the speaker and it does what I need - and it is important for my use-cases to have the aux input.

En primer lugar, la bocina tiene un muy buen tamaño y por supuesto un muy buen sonido, tal como se tenia que esperar de una marca como Marshall, los ajustes de Treble y Bass me parecieron muy utiles según el genero que desees escuchar, algo que muy muy pocas bocinas tienen, en lo personal tener la manipulación del sonido con estas funciones hace que mi experiencia al escuchar musica sea mas susceptible. Por otro lado el diseño es muy clásico y a la vez muy moderno, con mucha presencia y seriedad, una propuesta muy ``Rockstar''. Lo unico malo de esta bocina es el volumen de la bocina, ya que hasta el volume 7-8 se empieza a escuchar la bocina realmente, ni de broma en el nivel 2-3 se escucha algo, es el grave error que cometieron al configurar este aspecto, pero una vez que se escucha la bocina, es esencial. Le doy un 9/10.

モノラルのスピーカーを考えれば、音質は十分すぎるほどのスペック。spotifyでの利用が多いが、スピーカー側のツマミでの調整後、アプリ内のイコライザーでの調整を利用すれば問題無し。 充電の際に、インジケーターのリアクションが遅いので不具合か？と思いますが、 電源オフにして１０秒ほどしてから差し込めば問題無しです。

Superb sound and bass. Love it so much!

Naçizane odyofilimsi biri olarak sesinin elestirilecek bir yani yok. Ses cikisi cok guclu olmayabilir ancak sesin netligi tiz orta bas dagilimi akustigi odaya yayilimi vb boyutuna gore mukemmel. Agirligi 1.4 kilo ve cantaya koy götüre pek uygun degil. Uzerinde sarkiya mudahale edilemiyor ses disinda. Yanindan uzaklasip geldiginizda bluetooth yeniden baglamak icin dugmeye dokunmaniz lazim. Yeniden baglansa da sarki otomatik calmaya baslamiyor. Ozetle zirt pirt yanindan ayrilmaya pek uygun degil. Pil omru gercekten cok iyi. Bir de bu boyutta subwoofer+ tiz hoparloru bulmak zor kaliteli markalarda. Premium bir urun ancak ihtiyaca gore alinmali. Ozetle bangir bangir degil ancak en kisik seste bile ses dagilimi cok guzel bir hoparlor. Gorsellik olarak da mükemmel. Uzerinde en azindan play pause tusu olsaymis bir de power butonu ses butonuna baglanmasaymis cok daha iyi olurmus
