Marshall Stockwell 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Soundtest and Review

I review the successor to the original Marshall Stockwell portable bluetooth speaker. Spending most of the Summer with the unit I was able to put it through all the tests and give a full, comprehensive review.
The speaker is definitely more portable than the original Stockwell speaker, however it is also noticeably lower in volume. Once it is cranked to 7/8 this is a great speaker for the backyard, the beach and other fun outdoor activities - but be prepared to keep it near full volume.
The speaker features USB-c charging which is great for future proofing the unit - whereas the original Stockwell had a proprietary AC input.
This speaker also comes with a handy carrying strap, and quick-charge technology.

Wow! Awesome video! I love the intro & b-roll. Excellent review! Looking forward to watching your next video

[@QuickTechReviews]

Dude, awesome to connect. Thanks for checking it out.

[@mratechb1834]

It actually has the ability to charge your devices, the same USB C in is a USB C out that can charge your phone / tablet and serves as a power bank

[@KeyserReveal]

Very in-depth review. Marshall has a distinct look that you could spot from across the room...even if it didn’t have “Marshall” on it lol.

[@arjunvihaan5575]

I really enjoy your filming

[@alexanderivanov960]

Listening to the sound test on Stockwell 2. This speaker is dope. I would give it 7.5 score for all the music and specifically for rock 9.5!

[@treedsaikia9610]

Having issue with stockwell 2 while connecting to my macbook. Any suggestions?

[@JairLevi]

How far does it reach for still having a good sound. If I’m like 10 steps away ?

[@NirudhaPerera]

The strap is really easy to hook up once you realize there is a cut that makes the opening bigger.

[@Ivan-mn3ph]

is this the most recommendable speaker around 200 or should I be looking elswhere...also is it loud enough for outdoors

[@QuickTechReviews]

You might want to spring a few more bucks and grab Marshall’s higher end line (kilburn). The Stockwell 2 is more focused on portability and lifestyle.

[@DanPiperWillow]

Hey, quick question, does this work with Ipod 6th gen? Since my ipod is compatible with Airpods will it be compatible with this as well? Thank you!:)

[@QuickTechReviews]

Refresh my memory - 6th gen is iPod touch ya? If so, as long as it has Bluetooth, it should work fine. I believe the iPod touch has Bluetooth 4.2.

[@DanPiperWillow]

@@QuickTechReviews Yes, Ipod touch. I like using it since then Im not wasting my memory on music and have it nicely separate, all in one place. I dunno which type of bluetoot it has but its enough to connect to Airpods and other wireless headphones, so I hope it will be ok:) Thanks a lot!

[@cristibaluta]

Hi, is it working while charging?

[@chrisn4369]

4:02 "...jack the unit up to 7 or 8 to get it audible". Is this a "thing" with modern BT speakers? I've noticed you need to turn it up to that level to get the equivalent volume of an older (or budget priced) BT speakers set at level 5.

[@QuickTechReviews]

Yea this speaker - for whatever reason - is really quiet. Not sure why Marshall did that, since the original Stockwell didn’t have that issue. Maybe they’re trying to bump up their battery life specs by keeping the speakers pretty quiet 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@chrisn4369]

@@QuickTechReviews Thanks for your reply. That would be a good explanation, but difficult to say since budget brands' batteries last just as long (without that volume...thing). By the way, my Bose Soundlink Mini 2 SE does this when connected via Bluetooth, but when connected using Aux port, the sound is thundering loud as normal. Does Marshall speakers do the same?

[@TheMatthewsantos]

hello, can i use this as a power bank to charge a phone?

[@QuickTechReviews]

I didn’t think so - it’s not advertised as such - but someone in the comments said that it does. Didn’t have a USB-C phone to try it with.

[@abdaziz8791]

Hi..can someone help me..the 1st edition of marshall stockwell is it still relevan on 2021..i'm more into ballad,pop & pop rock music...

[@QuickTechReviews]

I still love the Stockwell 1 over the Stockwell 2. Still use it as my speaker down in the basement; no complaints. Check out my video on the stockwell 1. 👍

[@abdaziz8791]

@@QuickTechReviews is it still relevan on 2021 vs other speaker such as marshall emberton or jbl flip 5 ?

[@QuickTechReviews]

@@abdaziz8791 Well, i mean...I still use my macbook pro 2015 to edit all my YT videos, so maybe i'm the wrong person to ask about relevance! lol - but the Emberton doesn't have BASS and TREBLE knobs - which is a key feature in the Stockwell 1 and 2 - which I really liked... At the end of the day you gotta get what works for you. I still use the Stockwell 1 daily; Stockwell 2 not so much.

[@pmail2731]

Thanks for the video review! You poo-poo'ed the AUX input, but it's what I try to use whenever possible!!!! Want to avoid BT radiation as much as I can :) Question (scoured the internet but didn't find answer): is there a way to turn Bluetooth off when in AUX mode? Or does the speaker turn BT off automatically when you use AUX? Can you please please check for me? I want the speaker not connectable or even discoverable (via Bluetooth scan) when in AUX mode.. i.e., BT should be TOTALLY off. Some speakers go into continuous pairing mode when AUX connected. Anyway, would much appreciate if you could check and let me know! Thanks again for your work... subscribed.

[@QuickTechReviews]

Thanks for the comment. Actually you get this feature with the original Stockwell speaker. I did a full review earlier on my channel and I actually prefer that speaker to this one in terms of sound, build quality and aesthetics. There's a dedicated bluetooth button which you can turn on and off on the original Stockwell. No such luck with the Stockwell II.

[@pmail2731]

Thanks. But maybe it turns off BT when using AUX? If you still have the speaker, can you check? You'll need to check if a BT device can find the speaker by scanning. If you don't have access to the speaker still, no worries. Thanks.

[@drained1177]

"Bluetooth radiation" yeah, how about stop using the internet since the wifi cancer is surrounding you.

[@pmail2731]

Yes, and cellular signal is the worst. Your opinion is irrelevant. I am a scientist and I know the data... not videos entitled, "debunking the myth of radio frequency dangers" ... but the actual science. Until YOU know the science, your opinion is... well, irrelevant.

[@kelzkelz1907]

So you have to pass volume 5 before you can hear some sound

[@QuickTechReviews]

Pretty much. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@hullygan8476]

How do you turn it on?

[@QuickTechReviews]

Twist the volume knob - should turn on and show you battery life as red lines. If not turning on, charge it. 👍

[@hullygan8476]

@@QuickTechReviews I’ll make sure to check it out

[@hullygan8476]

@@QuickTechReviews ai have been charging it for hours. Once I unplug it and twist the volume knob, it doesn’t show the red strip unless I connect it to the charging port again. Also, when I press the Bluetooth button for 2 seconds, it doesn’t blink.

[@sumi227]

Idk but this doesn't sound good

[@QuickTechReviews]

Sounds good once you go above volume 6/7. Surprisingly low volume on a speaker geared to be an outdoor portable party speaker. The bass and treble knobs let you fine tune to improve even more.
