I don't think most people are going to consider the Middleton as being a great value speaker at its retail price but personal use case and preference are always going to be very much a part of any purchase decision. I like the aesthetics of the Marshall speakers and it makes me equally happy when I look at my Stockwell 2 as what I hear out of it when it's played but I waited for a sale and wouldn't have bought it at full price. The Middleton doesn't sound like a bad speaker (for low level listening) but it would have to get a pretty hefty price cut to make it worthwhile to me. Thank you for another excellent review and comparison, Alan! 😁👍👏

[@alanrossreviews]

maybe the woofers should not have been on the sides since it means there is no one axis where it sounds right 🤷‍♀️

I had the Middleton and the Flex and the flex was just warmer. I did a blind test with my mum and 4/5 songs she chose the Flex too. Bass on the Marshall is real nice. I was surprised because the speaker has multiple outlets but it very much sounds like the sound is coming from the speaker whereas with the Bose has this way of surrounding you.

[@alanrossreviews]

right, despite its driver setup and processing it still doesnt sound any bigger than the speaker itself 🤦‍♀️

"I self identify as a complete twat" Take my like, good sir. Keep up the good work Alan! As for the speaker, it's so clear from the recordings that the Middleton goes deeper in the bass than any other one in its class. Not bad, especially considering its cheaper than the Xtreme 3

Good stuff Alan

[@alanrossreviews]

thank you!

[@lymedog3176]

Alan I own an old RIVA Turbo X and it too has woofers firing front and the sides , plus passive radiators front and back. This speaker does give you a stereophonic sound , especially with surround and turbo on. I also own a damson Vulcan , which has the same set up, but produces deep bass. The RIVA kinda copies the JBL’s xtreme 1 with pushed mid bass… but it has good thump.

[@alanrossreviews]

yeah i remember the riva coming out but never tried it. it never quite hit the market.

[@lymedog3176]

I think it was bigger in the states. I call it the brick, still to this day it’s my go too speaker when I’m outside ( no rain) working in the yard or decorating (Halloween or Christmas). It would be speaker you would like warm, full bodied sound with some thump. It was made to knock out the Bose soundlink mini when it was developed… but like I said earlier it was shaped and the size of a “brick”.

[@alanrossreviews]

@@lymedog3176 nothing wrong with that, at least its practical. Some of these modern speakers seem to think slimmer is what everyone wants but don't have the space to let air move. Dali katch anyone

[@lymedog3176]

Alan im not taking away anything from Bose, their innovation in speaker design from the mini to their home 1 2 3 system,which I also own, has great sound. But your right, it’s the physics of air space , compression, speaker materials, speaker placement and electronics that can make or break a speaker. I owned an old Marantz stereo system with Altec Lansing “big box “speakers. The amp didn’t throw out that much power and the speaker wires were minuscule, but the sound was clear, super deep bass and loud. It wasnt so much the amp as it was the speakers. Big surface area, open air because of the box size, maple wood for good sound resonance ,ported and large magnets. Even with the low wattage and voltage, the sound could shake my home. Like you said flat speaker usually flat sound…. Sorry for the long winded post.

[@alanrossreviews]

@@lymedog3176 no no i welcome posts like yours, its very interesting how these companies have to make trade-offs somewhere for a cheap speaker or charge a ton for something that belies its size. modern amps help a lot of course, you couldn't do this with small speakers years ago.

[@NeopolitianNPLTN]

There's got to be a lot of people like me that would be interested in buying this if it was also a practice guitar amp. Because it says Marshall on it! Zzounds just bought Marshall so it will be interesting to see what happens.

[@alanrossreviews]

Yup not sure if much will change but yeah if they are serious of making this amp like then let's have an instrument line level input

[@warci]

I love my motion boom, but I miss a line in so much! Adding a bluetooth transmitter to the source just adds too much latency for gaming. Hacking in an input shouldn't be impossible, so hopefully someone that's better at electronics than me has a go some day!

[@alanrossreviews]

Im really interested in the stockwell 2 form factor as a home speaker, but i wonder how does it stack up againts the middleton and and im also wondering if theyre even good home speakers to not just listen to music but also consume other media.

[@alanrossreviews]

Middleton is very bass heavy, stockwell 2 is much better balanced but won't play loud

[@steroberry]

@alanrossreviews I'm planning on getting the willen as my little bike speaker so maybe the middleton would be a better option to cover higher ground having already the smaller speaker?

Hello @alan ross, hope you're doing great, i commend your hardworks, efforts, great sense of humour et all, i came across your channel while looking for an affordable great bluetooth speaker...long story short, i just got Motion Boom today, to watch the review is one thing & to hear it in person is even more amazing, it came with a firmware of 00.44 as i connected with the app, what EQ will you recommend for an all rounder when it comes to music, i love EDM, HIP HOP especially among other genres, i see your firmware 00.43 & eq for this video, will it apply to 00.44 & give me the best? Keep up with your good works, we appreciate you a lot!

[@larryburns7225]

There is this new audio called spatial audio I wonder if that will be coming to bluetooth speakers soon ? is it better than HD Radio or an SACD player if there is one I am sure you will review it right away.

[@alanrossreviews]

its marketing nonsense. pseudo surround, it can sound more open and airy but there is always a trade-off. its just psychoacoustics. its not a format. im talking about these types of speakers. of course in its pure form such as atmos with appropriate speakers it sounds great. you have to remember the likes of the middleton are not decoding a format like dolby but simply processing two channel audio.

[@Wønheada]

@alanrossreviews Marshall Middleton vs Soundcore Motion X600. I know both are nowhere near it, but which one do you think has the flattest frequency response & the best reproduction of bass frequencies? I’m a new music producer & sometimes make music on the go. Being able to hear bass frequencies is particularly important to me, since I know not all speakers can reproduce them well. Especially portable speakers. Directivity is also important but not as, since I won’t be moving around too much. Thanks in advance. 😁

[@alanrossreviews]

x600 has no deep bass and for me the bass it does have distorts badly. Middleton is bass monster below 50% but becomes a totally different speaker over 50%. the only speaker i have have that is quite flat and has deepish bass is the hk go play 3.

[@Wønheada]

@@alanrossreviews Thanks Alan. The HK is definitely out of my budget, but I’ll still consider it for a house speaker only because of its size. I don’t mind if the Middleton is a bit bass heavy. I’d rather that, then no bass at all. 😂 One more question: In your opinion, what is the best small stereo portable speaker that has a balanced frequency response/sound & has a good deep/sub bass reproduction? The Middleton is my front runner atm… feel free to tell me that the Middleton is a stupid option if it is. 😂

[@propane1777]

The big question for me regarding Soundcore. Is their new X600 going to be a worthy replacement for my Motion + king of clarity Colin

[@alanrossreviews]

for the m+ yes, but for bass lovers maybe not. its very punchy but for me sounds off when pushed. normally i am very forgiving of pushing bass 😎

[@propane1777]

I normally isten to my motion + at sub 50% volume , and like the more audiophile qualities. The big question is, does one X600 outperform two stereo pared Motion +'s ?

[@alanrossreviews]

well i havent tried but id be surprised if two pluses dont sound better.

[@ericmartinez4897]

Go Alan Go! 👍 Great work as usual. The Middleton is my newest speaker I own. Ur absolutely on point. The Middleton sounds best less than 75% volume. It is VERY enjoyable at low volumes to me. Max volume is horrible on ALL speakers IMO. This Middleton is a good speaker but overpriced by 50$ easily. Just paying for marshall brand.

[@alanrossreviews]

its not just the bass issue, it doesnt gel as a whole for me, i can hear chunks missing due to its wavy nature no matter which side you listen.

[@ericmartinez4897]

@@alanrossreviews hey im ur honest opinion without price mattering, which has better sound the new sound core 600 or Middleton?

[@alanrossreviews]

the x600 if tweaked for me potentially sounds better for clarity and openness. middleton wins for bass heavy low volume listen.

[@TG-tl4uj]

I’m the same I listen to it at between 30-50% and I really enjoy the sound. Anything above that is in custom more with +8 bass and I’m usually throwing a party at which point no one’s really listening to the details anymore 😂

[@HAIYANE9910]

I reminder also if you listen to this speaker. You should remember what Sony Xb 20,30, specially the xb40 sounds is. Is do the same thing where at Lower Volumes sounds wayy more bass and the way it sound like they use micro Sub like really?? But does sound better than this Middletown despite that being slightly muffled because of no tweeters.

[@alanrossreviews]

right but you also had the extra bass button and the 30 and 40 sounded decent at most volumes once you messed with eq and extra bass. and at the time were good options compared to rivals, but times have moved on thus the middleton is a bigger fail given context.

[@HAIYANE9910]

@@alanrossreviews the Middletone reminds me abit on Sony XB40😄 as it do the same thing had way more bass at lower Volumes, the bass died off at max Volume to get more loudness while maintaining sound quality abit:)

Wonderful review and made me laugh aswell haha. This is a definite no go after watching... Could you give me some recommendations for my specific usecase? I'll be using it mainly in my campervan. I know that your go to speaker is the Stormbox blast but I think it might be too much for my campervan due to the small area and available storage space. I've got a xtreme 2 which isn't satisfying listening to on lower volumes. I considered a minirig 2.1 setup but I think it's too much of a hassle in that little space. Don't mind buying 2 speakers for a better sound. Any recommendations on the info above?

[@alanrossreviews]

not sure your tastes, w-king speakers can be very punchy bass wise just not too deep. youd should consider also minirig 1.1 so you just plug the sub into the minirig so not much hassle that way. if the x2 isnt satisfying and the blast too big, what about the boom plus?

[@Gwiennn]

@Alan Ross Reviews Thanks for your reply! Not sure about my taste either haha.. no audiophile or purist but I am a critical listener. Own a bunch of headphones and not easily pleased with the sound quality. So more audiophile like sound signature is preferred even though that is not obtainable through bluetooth.. but you know what I mean. Did not do any research on w-king yet but will look into that (your videos ;) ). Have not considered a 1.1 setup because everyone was talking how great they are in stereo. Something to think about... After watching you videos I was actually looking at the motion boom plus haha. The footprint is a bit large but could probably make it work, even though the misses doesn't appreciate anything bigger than a charge 5 😅😂 How about listening to that on low volume in a cramped space? That's my biggest concern. My crappy charge 2 sounds better than my new condition xtreme 2 in a tiny space on low volume. With the X2 you can only hear/feel the bass and the rest is gone.

[@alanrossreviews]

@@Gwiennn if its really just for low volume there is the uboom l and the dali katch but both disappoint for louder volumes.

[@Gwiennn]

@@alanrossreviews I've seen your videos about the Uboom and decided it isn't for me. What I do consider though is buying 2 speakers and making them a stereo pair. Charge 5 is on sale for 110 euro's and I was considering 2 of them in stereo. Saw on one of your videos that someone already asked you about that combo haha. Was hoping that the x600 would've been a nice option but luckily found the only real review (you). The others are just a bunch of sellout ads.. very frustrating. So thanks a lot for your honest reviews! Very much appreciated.

And where it comes to max Volume, the sony xb40 has completed lacking or even not complete there still some bass but almost dried, even there is massive bass limit for the xb40 in max Volume sounds super loud while maintaining the sound quality way more than this middle tone. Totally different if you compare the speaker which created i think 10 years ago because it is 2015 i think or 2017. But in max Volume even the same thing with massive bass limit there is some bass but massive compressed, still can go way louder while having alot better sound quality.

Hold on minute Alan, I too also identify myself as a t*** 😎😎 I’ve been hearing 50/50 mixed opinions on this speaker lately, glad you was able test it. Cost too much, only good at low volumes, and the sound signature is ehhh imo.

[@alanrossreviews]

right doesnt offer enough for the money. Twats forever 😁👌

[@Yt_ShadowBannedme]

@@alanrossreviews Absolutely. Also wanted to ask you another question Alan. What advantages do Ports have over Passive Radiators??? I know you said both are basically interchangeable, but are their any differences between the two? Positive or negative.

[@alanrossreviews]

its quite a subject so i would suggest having a google because a lot of the arguments are a matter of debate rather than fact. know that done badly both are shit and done well both are good and passives tend to be implemented in a small box as ports need a fair amount of size to be tuned correctly. port vs passive can also be effected by likely speaker placement and cost too. they are driven by the same principal's though thus i say interchangeable from end result perspective. biggest issue with ports of course is port noise, farting, chuffing. passives also have technical issues that don't apply to ports.

[@Yt_ShadowBannedme]

@@alanrossreviews Thanks Alan. I have been looking into it, but with so many different opinions on the matter, it’s difficult to know what statements are on the side of factual or not lol. That’s why I always appreciate your factual analysis. I heard that Ports distort less, can go deeper, and play louder than a PR (As you said if tuned correctly) That’s what made me start thinking about would be the positives and negatives of both. But as you said alot of arguments are a matter of debate.

[@alanrossreviews]

@@Yt_ShadowBannedme the key here is what did they compare. people think passive rads are an easy option and just need the same driver as the woofer with no voice coil. but actually they need a different suspension and are not so easy to get right. thus even for me i could not answer who is right or wrong because it really depends on your options. but i see more and more high end gear now opting for passive rads instead of ports.

[@HAIYANE9910]

Souncore motion boom sounds slightly clear than Xtreme 3 sounds like grainy highs. But atleast GG version is the best model of Xtreme 3. ND model abit more extended deep bass, but the midbass almost lacking, and GG has more boomy at the same time it can Go deep but not ND version level. Also ND Xtreme 3 sounds better, but there is the issue of earpiercing and some sharp Treble that can damage ears for long run.

I haven't been able to decide on a column for a week, I'm still circling around Harman/Kardon Go + Play and I don't know which is better?) Portability and bass depth are good. I wanted to find a comparison with Marshall Middleton, but I hear that this sound is absolutely terrible. In my headphones, for some reason, the emphasis goes to the right ear when listening to Marshall.

[@alanrossreviews]

when listening on axis the right tweeter is more prominent, maybe you are hearing that? middleton isnt terrible, its just not great and with a hefty price tag. at low volume the bass heavy rumbling is pretty nice, but you only get that at low volume. i would certainly prefer the go+ play.

[@juliomarquez35]

I still think Motion Boom is actually the best speaker price/performance ( Here in Spain on sale for 72€). I need some help please, i bought last week an used Beoplay a1 1Gen, and sound beautiful, but if you hear close to the leather cords you can hear a little weird "prr" noise, i think its the Air that come from inside.

Finally found the problem, i tapped all screw holes and sealed the part between the cover and the chasis with american tape, its a weird solution, but now i cant hear the annoying noise and the fix could be reverted.

[@Grommet2007]

One tweeter in the front and the other in the back? Yeah, no chance that's going to create a proper stereo image, no matter how much DSP is done, and I don't need to use a test track that has an instrument or vocals panning from left to right to find that out. The Motion Boom with the custom EQ seems to be clear winner here audio-wise - that Middleton was a no-go from the start and the JBL Xtreme 3 just sounded annoying at higher volumes because of that 6kHz peak. I'll bet the Xtreme 3 will stand up to more abuse than the Motion Boom, but how many Motion Booms can you buy for the price of an Xtreme 3? 🙂

[@alanrossreviews]

4 but you can only pair two at a time 😭

[@HAIYANE9910]

But atleast now the going cheaper, the Middletone is the most expensive for nowhere Xtreme 3 sounds still balance even there is the 6khz peak, they totally blowed away the Middletone which is completely lacking in midsize flagship speakers.

This is why i love you man❤️‍🔥 Every god damn review was saying the following, JBL XTREME 3 KILLER,GRATE SOUND, A nice neich well I call it bullshit🤣 I thought the Tronsmart Bang mini was a bad sounding speaker but nope this takes the cake but they actually relate to each other. Both have speakers all around both play deep bass,sound hollow but sharp both speakers doint go loud and they have a a pretty decent build. But I would say the Bang mini is better than the Middleton since it actually throws in the bass at higher volumes although its very quiet below 70% anyways awesome review and i will not be reviewing this speaker unless something magical happens.

We need to nail down what the criteria are for being a “JBL KILLER”. The mere fact that The Middleton is a Marshall speaker (premium brand) and it’s mad expensive are 2 major strikes against it being a JBL KILLER. So even if The Middle sounded better it still wouldn’t qualify imo

[@lukabosnjak3829]

​​​​@@ThibautMahringer The only good sounding Marshall speaker that I've heard is the Stockwell 2, bigger ones that do not have battery (Stanmore, Woburn is the name I think) are simply cheap sounding, also their headphones were horrible They are selling well because people like the design (its cool and classic, no arguing about that) and because of name...

[@ThibautMahringer]

​@@alanrossreviews Good old front facing stereo is where it's at 👍

[@clayinosaint3964]

Id still getting the middleton,why becoz i like the design, the sound quality is decent. I dont need louder bt speaker that sounded like a can 😂😂😂 but JBL is fire!! Marshall,JBL and Bose are always the best when it comes to speakers 🤗

[@alanrossreviews]

Good luck with that one 👍

[@Wh1t3F4c3]

Funny thing, I went to Zound’s website, and apparently they’re not even called that as a company anymore. Now they’re Marshall Group, so ig it truly is a Marshall speaker after all lol

So i better pick extreme 3 than middleton? How long the battery last if play like 70%? For both?

middleton great below 50%, awful after 60%...i dont do battery stats as it is the most leading stat because of so many variables. just look at battery capacity.

Ahh yes the middleton, woulda been their answer to this class of speakers, but only AT MOST being comparable, to the oldie but goldie fugoo XL, yes the fugoo XL its now obsolete except it wasn't a flop, unlike the middleton for sure, thus still far more usuable in a way that would cover more fields than this imo if you have one that is, i mean just on design alone it destroys this, take notes marshall!!

[@alanrossreviews]

yes there a few discontinued speakers that really would still hold their own today, i guess the market is just too small and they cant make a big profit on these speakers unless they are JBL, Bose etc? on time today, good job 😎👍

[@asunavk69]

@@alanrossreviews yeah felt like watching it tdy, yes i think fugoo just didn't gain much traction, on the XL i think was good, and quite quick got behind the competition, that said its quite neutral and ok for the size and time. Price well its expensive nowdays, about 200$. But on official store not there anymore, rip you will be missed :(. At least they still prevail if are any good that is.

Don't buy the Middleton if u like your treble sticking out n bold like on the Bose or JBL. I have it n it always leaves me wondering where the treble is for such a chunky speaker. Even the small emberton 2 has better treble. Overwhelming bass underwhelming treble. I dunno if it's deliberately tuned that way to protect the sales of other or future Marshall speakers. Shrill sounding tiny treble. Do better next time for a device priced at 300$

[@alanrossreviews]

The bass is so strong below 50% its drowning out the highs

[@jay-ti7kd]

@@alanrossreviews the bass is good, u wud enjoy it for low level listening. But the vocals jux don't seem to have a presence or not very natural, too tiny especially for such heavy bass, trying to adjust it with the treble band makes it sharp n piercing. The little B&O A1 2nd gen has a more pleasant natural vocals. I hope they fix it with an update. The Middleton with B&O A1 vocals n treble will be game over for the competition JBL, Bose or soundcore. I want my 300$ back🤣🤣

Marshall speakers are associated with a certain aesthetic. Folks are attracted to said aesthetic. But folks are also attracted to the Marshall name. If you changed this speaker’s name to Zound most folks wouldn’t be talking about it

The same as Devialet, they stole all your money 💲 using some expensive materials to build that tiny speaker alot smaller than Leather silver handbag. it's a big hate and money stealer.

That tiny speaker using expensive materials alot smaller than silver Leather bag, and the silver handbag are slightly smaller than the Boombox 3. Stupid size difference but the price is completely opposite from the size.
