Marshall Acton III

The Marshall Acton III is a small, stylish speaker for the home that sounds surprisingly big for its size. There aren’t a lot of features because it’s all about the music, which is what’s most important.

Marshall's Acton III Bluetooth speaker delivers fine audio performance, but its appeal also lies in its trendy, vintage-inspired design.

This is a great speaker on its own terms, and for anyone who wants a simple, classic-looking speaker in their life. Where things get a little tougher for Marshall is on the features side of things - it's a pretty bare bones offering.We're sure its excellent design and superb build quality will mean it finds fans, but those who want a bit more connectivity from their speakers might need to look elsewhere.
