The Marshall Middleton is a portable Bluetooth speaker that was fashioned in the trademark guitar-amp style of the Marshall brand. If you want to take your favorite music with you everywhere you go, the compact and lightweight design of this device is great for you. Additionally, the detachable carrying strap enables you to carry it with just one hand. It also features a design that is dustproof and waterproof, and it includes controls that are simple to use so that you may make the bass and treble sound more to your liking. You can use the USB-C port to charge the speaker, but it also works as an output, allowing you to utilize the speaker as a portable charging bank for your other electronic gadgets.

Marshall Middleton: Design
As we said above, if you know Marshall’s guitar amps, the Middleton (or any of Marshall’s Bluetooth speakers) will bring back a lot of memories. Even though it might not get as much wear and tear as a Marshall cabinet, the Middleton’s smooth silicone cabinet is 4.29 x 9.06 x 3.74 inches (109 x 230 x 95 mm), and it weighs a solid 4 pounds (1.8 kg). This makes it feel strong. It’s hard to think that it’s supposed to be a portable speaker, but the rubber strap that comes with it makes it pretty mobile for its size.

Marshall Middleton: Controls
You can change the Middleton’s basic sound by using the bass and treble buttons on top of the speaker or by using the same controls in the Marshall Bluetooth app. Alongside these physical controls are a knob that can be turned in different ways to control playing, volume, and power, as well as a button for pairing with Bluetooth and an indicator bar that can be used for different things. On the back of the speaker, there is a 3.5mm aux input and an input/output USB-C port, so if you need to, you can use the battery to charge other devices.
Marshall Middleton: Sound Quality
At highest volumes, the bass doesn’t get distorted because digital signal processing (DSP) thins it out. So, on songs with deep lows, the bass sounds deeper when the volume is around 75% than when it is at the highest level.
The Middleton can’t make the sub-bass at the 34-second mark of Kendrick Lamar’s “Loyalty.” During this synth development, we hear hints of the lows, but the drivers just don’t have the range. The drum loop, on the other hand, gets a little more attention, and all of the vocal acts are clear.
Marshall Middleton: Battery Life
This IP number means that dust can’t get into the Marshall Middleton and that it can be submerged for 30 minutes in up to one meter (3.28 feet) of water without breaking. Given that there is an exposed USB-C port on the back of its cabinet (for charging its battery or using that battery to charge another device, like your phone) and a 3.5mm aux input, I find that ranking a little strange.
Final Words
The Marshall Middleton has a respectable audio system. This Bluetooth speaker is a great option for on-the-go listening, since it accurately reproduces vocals and other lead instruments across a wide range of musical styles. You may alter the volume and tone by adjusting the bass and treble.

FAQS
Prepared for a nomadic lifestyle. You can bring your music with you everywhere you go with the Marshall portable series. Pick up a wireless Bluetooth speaker that runs on batteries and turn up the volume.
Certainly, if you enjoy listening to podcasts or audiobooks. Although the sound quality is respectable for the budget, it cannot compete with that of larger speakers or personal listening devices like headphones or earbuds.
