Marshall has just unveiled the Middleton II, a successor to its popular portable Bluetooth speaker, retaining the charm of the original while introducing some impressive upgrades.
First and foremost, the Middleton II maintains its iconic design, but with subtle enhancements to set it apart from its predecessor. With a convenient carrying strap and an IP67 rating, it’s perfectly equipped to handle dust and water, just like the original.
But it’s the audio performance that truly stands out. Marshall promises a richer sound experience, boasting deeper bass and crisper tones, even at maximum volume. Thanks to Marshall’s unique True Stereophonic technology, expect 360-degree, room-filling sound that’s ideal for any setting.
The introduction of LE audio heralds improved audio quality and better power efficiency. Speaking of power, the Middleton II features a remarkable 30+ hour battery life, a notable jump from the original’s 20+ hours. Plus, it serves as a handy power bank for your phone on the go.
A new microphone addition enables hands-free calls, enhancing its functionality beyond just audio playback. While the Kilburn III lacks this feature, the Middleton II shines with it. It comes equipped with easy-to-use physical controls, including dedicated bass and treble adjustments, as well as a battery indicator. These settings can also be fine-tuned via a companion app.
Surprisingly, despite these enhancements, the Marshall Middleton II retains the same €299 price as its predecessor. Available in sleek Black and Beige options, it’s now up for grabs on Marshall’s website and hits retail stores on July 15. With its blend of style, innovation, and enduring quality, the Middleton II is set to elevate your audio experience.
