Marshall Stanmore II Bluetooth Review

The Marshall Stanmore II is a Bluetooth speaker for people who have aspired to be in a rock band. For those who'd happily wear tour T-shirts but, perhaps, can't quite pull off the look anymore. And if you're a famous rock guitarist currently lounging...

Composed at high volumes Smart Marshall design Solid value at reviewed price

Sub top-tier separation Bass if beefy, but not super-controlled No battery-powered option

A rock icon in speaker form that doesn’t break a sweat at high volumes

Marshall Stanmore II Voice review

Marshall is fast developing a reputation for high quality home speakers, having branched out from the live music and professional studio market over the last few years. It's latest speaker, the Stanmore II Voice has been updated to include full Amazon...

Stunning design Powerful bass Alexa integration

Recessed mids Treble can be harsh

This speaker is super smart with Amazon Alexa built in, and while the bass is very powerful, mid frequencies feel a bit recessed.

Marshall Stanmore II Bluetooth Review

Marshall recently updated its line of Bluetooth speakers, and at $349.99, the Stanmore II Bluetooth falls in the middle of its three new options in terms of size, price, and power. Fans of the iconic Marshall look won't be disappointed with the...

Solid audio performance with rich bass depth and crisp highs. In-App EQ. Bass and Treble knobs for fine-tuning audio. Attractive overall design.

Slightly overpriced. Can distort at top volumes. Unsightly back panel. No audio cables included for inputs.

The Marshall Stanmore II Bluetooth speaker delivers strong audio, but its price feels a bit high for the overall experience it delivers.

Marshall Stanmore II Voice review: This voice-controlled Bluetooth speaker has the iconic look of rock royalty

Anyone with even a passing interest in popular music has probably seen Marshall guitar amps sharing the stage with many of the world's greatest rock bands. Since 1962, the iconic look and logo of these venerable road warriors has let everyone know...

Overall sound quality is rich and full App provides a five-band graphic EQ Iconic Marshall look Physical controls are way cool

Couldn't get Alexa or online streaming to work on my iPhone 6 Bluetooth pairing is flaky Online customer support is subpar

The Marshall Stanmore II Voice can easily be mistaken for the head unit on an iconic Marshall stack, and its audio performance avidly matches that aesthetic. But we had an erratic experience with the accompanying iOS app.

Great looks Brilliant big sound Easy to set up

Chunky and heavy No battery option Pricey

Marshall Stanmore II Review

Combining modern Alexa capabilities with classic guitar amp styling, the Marshall Stanmore II is a beauty to behold. However, we feel its sound quality...

The is an attractive looking speaker that will fit right into a guitar lover's home, but its sound quality doesn't live up to its $400 price tag.

Great speaker with excellent range

Bought the speaker for Christmas and use it in my home office on a dailey basis. The Marshall Stanmore was a replacement for another speaker and is a great improvement. Richards gave me great service shipping the speaker within 24 hrs!
