Thank you Danny! I got Tufton Year ago for our village house, where mobilty and battery is impotant. Two weeks ago I bought Woburn lll for my wife. Thank for your tests and recommendation. Both speakers sound great!

[@zacharycreech5284]

Thank you for your honest impressions and transparency when you have biases. Your videos opened my eyes to Marshall and I picked up an Acton III after considering it. Keep up the awesome content!!

[@bobdingwell881]

Hey Danny, really appreciate all of your videos! They were very informative, useful, helpful - and enjoyable, lol - when I was doing my research. I ended up purchasing the Tufton, and I was actually able to get in on sale for about $240. The bass is actually a little bit "heavier" than what I'm used to in a portable speaker, and I'm still playing around with placement, settings, etc., in that regard, but for the price I paid for it, you really can't go wrong. Thanks again for all the great content you provide!! :)

Cool, i own killburn 2 .I m thinking to purchase Woburn 2 but after saving some bucks.

[@MrBlond777]

I bought a Woburn 1 and it ROCKED my apartment! The bass was incredible and you could turn up with no distortion. It was the best single speaker system I’ve ever heard. Everything from classic rock to jazz sounded amazing. Zound Industries makes all the Marshall speakers and they know what they’re doing. I really want to get a Woburn 3…Thx for the great 👍 video! It was awesome to see all of your Marshall speakers and your thoughts about them!

Thanks for the detailed comparison review. Very helpful.

Excellent informative video about Marshall speakers! Thank you Danny! 👍👍👍

[@malhotrapuneet]

I found your channel a month back when I was planning to purchase a Marshall home speaker and got to say you have been right about the Woburn 3. It is a great product if you have the room and budget for it

[@denzelgamingytbulanadi5689]

I love your videos and you help me alot to choose what is the best Marshall speakers that is worth it to buy, now I have my Acton III , Thank you 🙌🏼

[@ericmartinez4897]

Great work Danny! Really enjoy ur videos. My FAV OUT of these is the Acton 3. Sounds incredible. I also have the stockwell 2. Although the stockwell doesn't get very loud, I just love the smoothness of the sound quality. I really REALLY want to hear the Woburn in person. I had the Middleton and loved it at first but noticed it was only enjoyable to me a low volumes. Once I got past 50% volume it would lose bass

[@drewpaulson2020]

I was debating between the Acton II and Acton III so thanks for comparing them!!

[@stefanj3908]

Thanks for this great video! Can confirm everything you`re saying. I was curious about the Marshall Hanwell and got me a used one. Despite the lack of any "crazy features" (e.g. Bluetooth) it sounds amazing as well, compared it to my Woburn 1 and 3.

[@inoctavoconseil4273]

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm gonna buy the Stanmore III for my daughter.

[@andiedealessio1693]

I just got the Marshall Acton 2 and it’s better than I thought it would be. And I have many speakers as well to compare. I also heard the 2 vs 3 to compare. And not too much of a difference but that’s imo. I’m satisfied. I also have the Woburn in white. It is gorg and reallly loud. Love it!!

[@joelf5565]

I also heard a comparison video and found them very close, but found the Acton 2 a little better than the 3.

[@breadbot999]

I have the Kilburn 2 and honestly it's been a great speaker for me, it's like an Acton but portable. Incredibly impressive for a portable speaker that size Definitely looking to get a Woburn in the future, still satisfied with the Acton as a home speaker for now

[@KinG-gy7pc]

Same here, willing to purchase Woburn 2.

I own the Stanmore 2 and Emberton 2 and love them both.

[@bartomiejwolnik1504]

I'm using the Woburn III with my TV and sounds great, maybe not as clear as some sound bars but miles ahead of the default TV speakers. I bought it mainly because I wanted a speaker for music. I wonder if it's possible to connect two of these simultaneously? I believe they promised something like this in the past but I'm not sure if they delivered. I don't see any option in the Marshall app.

[@maksymfrost8846]

Hey Danny! 🙂 I've already got the Acton 3, and, as you said, the sound is phenomenal👍 given its size and weight. However, with all due respect to the Acton 3, due to the small size of the speaker cabinet, I find the soundstage isn't wide enough, and the vocals feel a bit squeezed to me. I'm considering returning it and purchasing the Woburn 3 instead with the bigger cabinet. However, I'm also intrigued by the smoothness of the vocals on the Vifa Oslo, although I've never heard it in real life. Could you please tell me if the vocals on the Vifa Oslo really sound smoother and clearer than on the Woburn 3? Which one can offer more? I'm contemplating if buying the Vifa would be a better choice for me. I have a small listening room and prefer not loud but quality sound, so I believe that even at low volumes (less than 40%), the Woburn 3 sounds great. Btw, the size of the Woburn isn't an issue for me and a portable speaker isn't my priority. If you don't mind, I have one more question. I noticed you prefer using the Woburn 3 instead of any set of bookshelf speakers. Do you think the Woburn 3 sounds better than a pair of bookshelf speakers in the same price range? Thanks in advance. 🙂

[@CamiloAndresGonzalez]

Hi Danny, thanks for the video it was very clarifying. I just wants your opinion I am currently thinking on getting an acton III for use in home, rooms and a mid sized open saloon, but I am doubting if possibly for the same budged I should get the Stanmore II looking for better volumen and bass, although I undestood the series III have better sound quality? what do you think? could be a great difference or good idea? I also want to play vinyles from a bluetooth vynile player.

[@cirisirpula152]

Hi, thank you for the reviews! I noticed you had some instruments on the background on some videos. Do you know how the latency of aux in is with these? Could I hook up a keyboard or synth into these without latency?

[@tyleradams4047]

I have the Woburn 2 in my bedroom its unbelievable, i wish i could crank it really loud. Also have the tufton which you can hear the drop in sound quality from the woburn but its till fantastic and brilliant to take to work or in the cabin for gatherings

[@alexnagy4520]

Wonderful reviews! *Thank you!* ___

[@TristesHumanistes]

There's new line series Bluetooth speakers by Klipsch, it will great if you make reviews of them Danny. 😊

[@bommareddybrijendrareddy9301]

Just acquired a new Marshall Tufton yesterday! It's sounds incredibly powerful and has a rich bass. All the aspects you usually don't expect from a 'portable'. In my personal experience, it has bass a little too rich straight out of the box which can absolutely be fine tuned as per individual taste and preference. Having oodles of powerful bass is always a boon and is welcome, again, especially considering it is a portable.

[@sandud8290]

hello, what about the mids? does it lack of mids? many reviews say the voice sounds low. thank you

[@bommareddybrijendrareddy9301]

@sandud8290 That's partly true. That balance is attainable. For reference - I keep my treble between 3-4 on the scale of the knob above. I gave this range due to the room acoustics and listening area being different from one user to another. Otherwise, this speaker is absolutely audiophile grade and this is coming from a musician and a composer since age 6 and a user who also has a dedicated home cinema room with highly powered KEF speakers and SVS subs.

[@theStevenPowell]

thanks mate... helped heaps

[@LeonardoBruno54]

Have you ever tried the Stockwell 1? I've got one as a gift and fell in love with the design of the Marshall speakers but here in Brazil they are just so expensive that I really cant justify getting a new one.

[@natthachacartoon7742]

I have more than 10 Marshalls Speakers. 😅😅 Willen Emberton2 Killburn Steel Killburn 2 Stockwel 1 Acton Multi Room Stanmore Multi Room Woburn Multi Room Tufton Woburn 2 Acton 3 Woburn3 This is the model I have. And collected over 2-3 years, I spent days with it. Ignoring the TV or any book. And the best for me is the Woburn3. The sound of it really captivates me. Everything is good, although some songs, the sound of the music It sounds thinner than the Woburn Multi room, but I can't stop listening to the Woburn3. Second to the Woburn3, I give the Killburn Steel😊

[@sandud8290]

hello, what about the mids in tufton? does it lack of mids? many reviews say the voice sounds low. thank you

[@natthachacartoon7742]

Yeah, that's right, I think tufton the sound of mid range is funny, if you want best sound Marshall the Woburn 3 is the best💙💚💜🧡❤️ But Tufton have cool body

I really want to like the Marshal Emberton II. I love the notalgic look, however i cant get past the JVC wired earplug sound.

[@parul2002]

I want a loud and portable speaker. However, tufton is more focused on base, the vocals aren't clear, and there is no good balance between vocal and music. Can you suggest me an alternative?

[@maju_mundur_kena]

Hi Danny can you unboxing and review Orange Box-L speaker ? Thanks

[@makenchips]

Very well done subjective review overall especially with no data but I was very interested in what you had to say so well done I'm surprised though that these speakers cannot be paired up in a stereo scenario. For all these price points I don't understand pair of headphones for $10 will do that but these can't? But I have to say I'm always fascinated by these Bluetooth speakers from the quarter size up

[@sprig7929]

Hi!! I have woburn 3, and after 2 months there are circles in front became visible, i also notice it in your woburn 3, do you have idea why? hehe

[@nino-lg2pp]

I got unlucky with my Middleton. I stuck with the JBL Flip for years until it died, had been eyeing something fancier and the cream Middleton looked too gorgeous. I had issues from the get-go. Issues pairing like the late stages of my JBL, noticeably fuzzy static when it did pair, and... I did in the Bluetooth button. HOW? It is recessed, unreachable unless I take my pinky and jab it deep in. Note, this is all within 2 hours of me using the speaker. Like an hour of troubleshooting. Thinking of getting an Emberton II but I love the look and rubber/silicone coating and shape of the Middleton more (and am ready for a nicer, bigger but not too big speaker). If it doesn't work out I'll go back to another JBL Flip. Not a looker, but it doesn't disappoint :( Edit: Okay, Acton III it is. Thanks Danny!

[@TheTheratfarmer]

Hmm, surfing around, I saw Marshall? I thought this guy was talking about amp speakers, celestion. Lol. Used in Carvin amps also... What is the frequency response (20 hrz-20k hrz)? The closer it gets to 17 hrz to 21k hrz is a great sounding speaker.

[@joe33237]

Question for everyone, Stanmore 3 or jbl authentics 300? Only looking at sound. Not all the extra stuff. I do like the stanmore 1 how it sounds the stanmore 2 not so much. Christmas gift for myself. But caught in between many reviews that say many different things.

[@dmitry_sch]

Best reviews 🎉

[@sxxychocolate6233]

Great comparison and subjective review of the current Marshall BT speaker range👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🙂....Love the style but they just don't float my speaker boat. Also tried a few out and found them a bit "meh". For now, my Minirig3 2.1 set up and my multiple Libratone Zipp2's offer me my speaker preferences but am looking to blast things up with a party box speaker...maybe the Soundbok Go or Mackie Thump Go....not sure what my neighbours will say🤔🙀😜

[@petewatts30]

I got the woburn 3 it's ok makes my doors vibrate, but I'm wodering is it worth connecting a wiim dac to the aux for high res streaming does it sound better?

[@TrTriTrippin]

Willen is my #1 choice due to wanting it for hiking

[@NirudhaPerera]

Would anyone who's heard both be able to give some overall impressions on how the Wobrun III sound differs from a single Sonos Five? I am guessing it can go louder, though I am not sure how different they are in terms of sound quality.

[@thebarak]

I have a Woburn (#1), and sometimes I think it sounds bad, but then that always turns out to be due to bad-sounding files on the streaming service. I play a high bitrate file and then I am reassured that the Woburn is clear, sharp, bass-laden and loud. Yes it's not a battery portable, but I only use it in the house!

[@DannyPops]

it’s a beast and still one of my favorites. Woburn #1 till it dies.

[@user-ft8ko2jf1e]

Comparison of Marshall Action 3 in other companies?

[@jwalbanker]

I need a speakers with BT and airplay.. is there any such speaker you recommend? Thanks

[@rsolsjo]

The Middleton really spoke to me, despite you not liking it the thing was calling my name and I eventually gave in and got one (RIGHT before it dropped to $250, go figure 🙄), but I have to say I'm in LOVE with the thing. PERFECT portable speaker that you can just grab and move anywhere - bathroom, kitchen, barbecue, while drawing or doing work on the computer. There is NO excess on it, not even physically speaking, but it can still pack a bit of a punch. It can't do stereo if you buy two, it is NOT a soundbar/gaming/TV device, really want to stress that, but if you just want to grab a portable wireless speaker with you anywhere yet have a bit of oomph to the sound, it's just ideal IMO, especially for $250 or lower.

Would you recommend soundlink flex or emberton 2? I just saw your emberton 1 comparison with the soundlink but I'm so tied between e2 and soundlink. everywhere i look people are like soundlink is better but the marshall one looks soooo much better but I also do not want to sacrifice sound quality.

[@DannyPops]

The flex is really really good. I'd argue a smoother bass overall, but its kinda boring looking I'd agree. Go with the one that makes you more excited to buy.

[@DIVERBULLDOZER]

Я тоже стоял перед этим выбором и рекомендую только послушать ваши любимые композиции на этих системах, лично для меня с первой же ноты все вопросы отпали, Bose звучит как мегафон для объявлений прибытия поезда и мне он не понравился совсем, это вопрос вкуса и предпочтений, еще скажу что Bose не приятный динамик в использовании, мне кажется он устарел по дизайну и системному обеспечению. Если вам нужна кричалка берите Bose, если вы хотите атмосферу и приятный музыкальный фон то берите Marshall.

The woburn III is really the no compromise version... but the sound quality on either the stanmore III or woburn III is the same overall - and much better than the 2 series.

I need to know where your shirt was obtained from!!!

[@JhCe]

i own both acton iii and acton ii, i bought acton iii during auction of an IT event at slightly more than half of its retail price. It sounds nice. i subsequently bought acton ii during sale at less than half of the retail price for acton iii as I am on budget that I am yet to be able to buy acton iii at full price. Acton ii indeed sounds muffier than acton iii for sure. So i used it in my study room as my computer's speakers instead while acton iii I use it with my TV in the living room. Still not too bad purchase for my acton ii given its lower price. For those on budget, can still consider acton ii if it is on sale. However, pretty much everywhere is going to be out of stock for acton ii also due to the clearance of it. I hope the acton iii can be on bigger sale any time soon that I can buy them at cheaper price instead of retail price. Now the discount of it is still low.
