Just bought a rather natty Marshall Emberton2 speaker after simply using the phones speaker or headphones.
What a thing! the power coming from such a teensy thing.
Big thumbs up!

Nice one!

When I stayed in the Karma Sanctum hotel in Soho recently, they had Marshal Action IIIs in every room and I nearly bought one as they sound fantastic! Very surprised to see such loud speakers in a hotel to be honest but I wasn't complaining biggrin Hopefully the people in the room next door didn't either as I cranked it up.

I was denied by the missus sadly as she claims I have far too many speakers as it is biggrin

The JBL and B&O boom boxes sound great as well.

Had a Boom for a few years. Been good but lacked any real bass. Bought a JBL Extreme 3 and it's a great little thing.

Handy little things. I looked at the Marshall Willen, but went for the Tribit Stormbox Micro2.

Really compact, great battery life, slighly better BT than the opposition and importantly has a decent user definable EQ via the a simple app rather than just presets. Has a nice solid/robust feel to it.

Great for travelling as I don't want headphones in all the time.

Modern Bluetooth speakers are superb! I’ve got a JBL Go for the garden (as not too loud) and a JBL Flip for around the house. Sound is really good and they’re a doddle to use, can’t remember the last time I used my HiFi separates/speakers.
