Marshall Middleton

Crutchfield customer from Hampton, VA on 12/22/2024

This Bluetooth speaker has excellent sound quality. Its classic look does not blend in with the rest of the Bluetooth market. I love the one-button multifunction control. It is well worth the price.

Excellent sound, solid build. It is ideal for in-the house music listening. It is probably not really loud enough for a pool party, but perfect for some music while in the pool or jacuzzi. I really like the flexibility of having the choice of Bluetooth or connecting via the Aux Jack for using older technologies & devices.

Surprising

Steven from University Park, PA on 2/8/2024

Great sound from such a small speaker. A bit pricey but worth it. Pairs well with other Middletons. I wish all the other Bluetooth Marshall's had comparable sound.

Pros: Bass, sound dispersion, quality build

Cons: Sound quality at high volume deteriorates

Great sound.

Big Brooklyn guy from BROOKLYN, NY on 1/1/2024

A very good sounding little speaker. Quality built. Not the loudest on the block but sound quality is top notch. Battery life about 4 to 6 hours on full blast.

Pros: Size

Cons: Weight

Don't even look at the Marshall Middleton

Ronald from New Castle, PA on 12/26/2023

Verified customer

Poor Design, Controls are lacking and cheap, not representative of any classy Marshall knobs. Small sounr is short and anything but deep sounding. Don't waste your time,,, upgrade to any Marshall above this one and you'll be in hifi heaven. Why Crutchfield would even bother carrying this model is beyond us, let alone give it their reccomendation.

Crutchfield response on 12/28/2023

Ronald contacted our Customer Support team and set up a return. Purchases from Crutchfield can be returned or exchanged within 60 days.

Guest from ATLANTA, GA on 12/19/2023

Don't like writing negative reviews but I'm disappointed in this speaker. For the price. To me, it sounds boxy and muffled but I'm critical of speakers. It looks durable and is lite weight. Marshall makes great products but for the money, they missed the target sadly. Was going to return but forgot to send back in time.

Pros: Attractive and lite weight. Easy to control functions on top of unit.

Cons: Too expensive for what you get.

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
