Marshall Kilburn II hands-on review

 

You'll have to speak up, because we've been testing the Marshall Kilburn II Bluetooth speaker -- and it's shockingly loud. Designed not just for indoors use, this speaker has a battery inside that makes it ideal for outdoor use too. Aside from the...

Very loud ; Eye-catching design ; Good battery life ; Support for two Bluetooth connections

Expensive ; Only vaguely portable

Marshall Kilburn

 

The Marshall Kilburn portable Bluetooth speaker delivers a powerful audio performance that can be tweaked to your liking.

Excellent audio performance with adjustable bass and treble. Cool retro amplifier design.

No speakerphone functionality. Unique look isn't for everyone.

Performance and Conclusions The Kilburn can get quite loud — if you top out the volume on your device and the speaker itself, the speaker doesn't distort. Even pumping up the bass EQ all the way and playing a track with intense sub-bass, like The Knife...

Marshall Kilburn II Bluetooth speaker review: Great sound and nostalgic design

 

You'll pay extra for the branding, but this is a strong and well-designed speaker, even it it isn't built by the company famous for its "Marshall stack."

Very good sound ; Clevery nostalgic industrial design ; Supports multiple clients

Limited stereo separation ; Very pricey

Once again, the Kilburn II is a very nice-sounding portable Bluetooth speaker. That makes any recommendation merely a question of value. As with Fender's Monterey, you're still paying a lot for appearances. If you're okay with that, I'm sure you'll be...

Review: Marshall Kilburn II

 

Looking to add a little rock'n'roll to your life? Don't let the throwback vibe of the Kilburn II from Marshall Headphones fool you. This lunch-box-sized, portable Bluetooth speaker packs the latest tech so it can blast your tunes to the max.

It's also expensive. It goes for $300, which is a lot of scratch. If you're looking for something to appease your inner rock star, the Kilburn II sounds great and delivers some of the best battery life for a portable speaker.

Marshall Kilburn: A Rockin’ Portable Speaker

 

The Marshall Kilburn harks back to the heyday of rock 'n' roll in looks and sound: It's a portable speaker that focuses on the essentials and delivers powerful audio. While competition is tough in this price range, no other portable Bluetooth speaker...

Rich bass and sharp treble ; Big sound in a relatively small package ; Good battery life and replaceable battery

Heavy and awkward to carry

With excellent fidelity and plenty of power, the portable Marshall Kilburn fills any space with great sound.

Marshall Kilburn II: not smart at all, but plenty loud

 

Marshall: the sound of guitars, the humming of bass and the sound of rock'n'roll. But that sound is no longer reserved for musicians, since for some time now there have also been speakers and headphones manufactured by Marshall. The newest member of...

Wonderful design ; High quality manufacturing ; Long battery life ; Loud and powerful sound

Somewhat expensive ; Not waterproof ; No additional functions

I really like the Kilburn II, although personally I hardly ever need one of the most important features: the battery. Sure, it lasts really long, but I don’t ever bring the speaker outdoors, so I’m always near an outlet. I would’ve been happy with...

Marshall Kilburn II review

 

Small and mighty

Clear top notes ; Rugged and portable ; Cool retro aesthetic

Slightly muddy bass ; Can feel heavy

Marshall’s Kilburn II is a fantastic update to its bestselling predecessor, with a stunning retro amp-inspired design and a well-rounded sound. While the bass can be a little muddy at times, it’s excellent for playing guitar music, and its portability...

Marshall Kilburn II review

 

Marshall's best speaker to date simplifies the features, tones down the look but tunes up the sound

Excellent sound ; Moderate moisture proofing gives greater versatility ; Long battery life ; Good looks

Has apt-X for better sound from Android… but no AAC for iOS ; A bit overpriced at its RRP

Marshall Kilburn review

 

Vintage looks with excellent sound

Louder than you'd expect ; Bass and treble controls ; Earth-pounding bass

Not as portable as competition ; Doesn’t take phone calls ; No playback controls

The Marshall Kilburn is a great-looking and great-sounding Bluetooth speaker that, despite some flaws, we can’t help but fall in love with. The retro styling and superb sound is bound to appeal to those looking for a conversation piece.
