Marshall Middleton

The Marshall Middleton is good for outdoor use. It's a portable Bluetooth speaker that's designed to bring on the go, with an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance. While it's on the heavier side for smaller speakers, its removable carrying strap still means that you can carry it in one hand without issue. It lasts a little over seven hours off a single charge, which is great for a day outdoors. It gets loud enough for smaller gatherings. However, it can't quite fill larger, more open backyards with sound.

An outdoor speaker with a rich, lively sound and stylish looks; if you can cope with its size and heft the Marshall Middleton is an enjoyable portable speaker, though it’s pricey for what it offers.

This is a great speaker that feels a little bit too heavy for most people, but will be a superb option for those who do want its heft.The sound is simply excellent, and impressively powerful, while the Middleton looks just as you'd want from a Marshall speaker.

The Marshall Middleton is a good Bluetooth speaker across the board: good sound, good design, good range of features. But it doesn't quite hit 'great' in any one department, while its competitors often can, making it an option for non-fussy buyers more so than for audiophiles or those with a specific set of needs.
