If youâre a fan of Rock ânâ Roll and in the market for a new portable speaker, Marshall may have just answered your prayers.
The firm has launched its Kilburn II speaker - a wireless Bluetooth speaker that strongly resembles an amp.
As the name suggests, the Kilburn II is a follow-up to the Kilburn speaker, which was released in 2015.
With over 20 hours of playtime and water-resistance, the speaker has many impressive features, as well as a stunning retro design. I got my hands on the new Kilburn II speaker - here are my thoughts.
Design
The Kilburn II is one for the best looking Bluetooth speakers Iâve seen.
It features a solid metal grille that resembles the mesh grille seen on microphones and amps and instantly gives it that Rock ânâ Roll vibe.
Adding to this vibe is the leather carrying strap, which features a plush red velvet lining, giving it a luxurious feel.
Sound quality
Measuring just 243 x 162 x 140 mm, the speaker is fairly compact - but thatâs not to say that it doesnât pack a punch.
The Kilburn II is the loudest speaker in its class, with one 20 Watt Class D amplifier for the wooferâ¨, and two 8 Watt Class D amplifiers for the tweeters.
Together, these amplifiers produce impressively clear midrange tones, as well as a deep bass and extended highs.
While I didnât quite push the speaker to its volume limit (I donât want my neighbors to hate me!), the Kilburn II is sure to meet your volume needs, without obscuring the quality of the music.
Battery life
The speaker boasts over 20 hours of portable playtime on a single charge.
Though I didnât test the speaker for 20 hours in one go, I think itâs an extremely appealing feature.
Other features
One of the features I liked the most was the ability to customize the sound, thanks to three control knobs on the top of the speaker - one for volume, one for bass and one for treble.
This allows you to customize the sound based on where you are - for example, you can crank up the bass when using it at a party.
