What is the Marshall Kilburn II speaker?
- A vintage design that is still popular
- 360° sound
- A practical handle
The Marshall Kilburn II Bluetooth speaker was released for 299 euros, but at the moment, it is possible to get it on sale for 179.99 euros at Darty.
A vintage design that appeals to as many people as possible
Rectangular format, well-made imitation leather covering, metal grille on the front, well-prominent brand logo… Yes, the Marshall Kilburn II indeed adopts this emblematic retro style which is inspired by the guitar amps of the brand. A look that makes this Bluetooth speaker a real decorative object. On the top of the speaker, we find the famous protruding control buttons which allow you to control the volume or even adjust the bass. However, it is impossible to pause or restart music from the speaker, you will have to do it from the source, which is not always the most practical. In addition, the speaker is not compatible with voice assistants, which prevents us from being able to order it to pause a title using our voice alone.
Otherwise, the Marshall Kilburn II speaker scores points with its IPX2 certification, which ensures it can withstand light splashes of water. We should therefore avoid placing it next to a swimming pool, but in the bathroom or kitchen, there should be no problem. Another part of its design that proves very useful: the strap with which the speaker is equipped and which allows it to be transported very easily. With 2.5 kg on the scale, the Kilburn II is not a featherweight, but its handle will still make it much more practical to move around.
360° sound for more immersion
In terms of sound quality, the Marshall Kilburn II is capable of delivering a power of 40 W RMS. The sound broadcast is quite clear and sufficiently powerful, and we benefit from a balanced rendering, with still well-pronounced bass. Above all, the brand emphasizes its technology called True Stereophonic, which allows the speaker to broadcast sound 360° around it, which makes the sound experience much more immersive. This multidirectional sound is undoubtedly the major asset of this speaker.
In terms of connectivity, the Marshall Kilburn II is compatible with Bluetooth 5.0 as well as the aptX codec, which offers higher throughput than SBC and significantly reduced latency. Finally, in terms of autonomy, the Marshall Kilburn II can operate for 20 hours on battery, but can also be plugged into the mains. A very durable speaker, therefore, and that is very pleasant. For a complete recharge, allow 2h30 in total.
