I did not expect this portable Marshall speaker to beat out my Bose and JBL like this


Marshall's newest speaker may look unassuming, but it beats its competitors in every category.

The Middleton II debuts with meaningful upgrades from its predecessor, spectacular sound, a stylish design, and 30 hours of battery life. I spent a few weeks with it, supplying the soundtrack to my chill outdoor hangouts with my dad, solo jam sessions in my office, and late nights celebrating my friend's bachelorette party. It sports Marshall's distinctive retro design, characterized by a metal speaker grille, vinyl casing, and golden brass embellishments.
