If you’re hunting for a portable speaker that brings Marshall‑amp soul without the bulk, the Middleton II is your new best friend. This next-gen Bluetooth speaker builds on an already solid design with enhanced bass, improved loud-room clarity, and up to 30 hours of playback — enough to soundtrack a whole weekend road trip.

Built like a tank with IP67 dust and water resistance, the Middleton II feels more like a Marshall amp than a kit speaker. Drop it in your pack or set it by the pool — it’s tougher than you are. But it’s not just about ruggedness: this device delivers 360-degree stereo sound that resonates well beyond its modest footprint, thanks to Marshall’s re-tuned drivers.

What sets it apart? The Middleton II lowers the low-end frequency to 45 Hz (down from 50 Hz), providing a deeper, punchier bass that hits harder. And for those who max out the volume, this model refines the top end—Marshall promises less distortion at loud levels, and it delivers. Whether you’re outdoors or in your living room, everything from guitar riffs to rap vocals stays clean and defined.

Other niceties include Bluetooth 5.3 with LE audio and multipoint connectivity, a built-in microphone for hands-free calls, and the signature Marshall control knob for on-the-fly adjustments. And when you’re ready to pack it up for your next session, the Middleton II is good to go for 30 straight hours. Dropping July 15 at $330, the Marshall Middleton II is more than a speaker—it’s a statement.
