    this is probably the best wireless speaker I ever had in a while and the sound is just really perfect for what kind of music I like, I even used it for home theater and it sound like the one I already installed, oh yeah I almost forgot, it’s perfect for gaming as well !!!! Plus it look really classy so definitely really worth the money

    I was in search for a long lasting portable Bluetooth speaker with great sound. As soon as I heard Marshall was coming out with one I quickly had to have it. Marshall has been well known in the music business for centuries with quality products. I am very impressed with this speaker!
    Pros:
    Great Battery Life
    Deep Bass
    High Treble
    No Distortion
    Nobs for controls
    Long Power Cord
    Made very well / Easy carry
    Cons:
    Price – ($399 at time writing this)
    Lack Features
    Lack Software
    :: Setup ::
    The setup of this speak is extremely easy, there is a button you press and hold to enable the sync of Bluetooth. I used my smartphone to sync with and did not experience any problems. There is no software included / needed and pretty much plug n play
    :: Volume / Bass / Treble ::
    The speaker has nobs to manually control the Volume , Bass and Treble along with a battery power indicator on far right. I personally like having actual nobs to control the levels versus having to go into software to modify them. What is very impressive is with max setting on Volume / Bass / Treble there is absolutely no distortion. This speaker is able to handle whatever music is thrown at it. The lows are deep and clear and the highs are crystal sharp. This speaker can get very very loud and still sound great.
    :: Environment / Hardware ::
    This speaker sounds amazing in small to medium room settings, even large or outdoor rooms it sounds great. I tested this speaker in both indoor / outdoor environments without any issues on sound quality or volume. It is made to sit up on 4 legs with no chance of rocking / falling over. Very stable along with a strap that is comfortable to hold onto for long carry’s.
    Overall I would recommend this Bluetooth speaker for anyone looking for a high quality portable speaker with great battery life. It lakes software and special features however if you are only wanting it for portable sound it does it job perfectly.

    From the initial box opening you can tell you have a quality made product.
    This is my first opportunity to review a Marshall speaker so I have no reference of the other speakers in there line up to compare too.
    This Speaker is approx. 9″ x 6.5″ x 14″ and weighs in at almost 11 lb.’s, so not backpack portable.
    The classic amp look of this speaker is great. The front is made of a steel mesh grill and the rest is wrapped in a nice black leather like material with durable flush mounted end caps on all corners.. Nice strong flexible handle rounds it off.
    This unit is IPX2 Water resistant which means it can handle dripping water at an angle of 15%. So I wouldn’t leave this on in the rain.
    Connectivity:
    Easy to connect to Bluetooth 5.0. (W/Multi-host Functionality) Simply press and hold the dedicated button on the top and pair with phone. No problems here at all.
    You also have aux. jack you could use.
    Battery Life:
    Box states you get 20 + hours. I have used for 2 days straight before recharging, so that sounds accurate.
    Sound:
    Tufton is engineered as a 3-Way System, produced sound from three separate devices – a tweeter, mid-range driver, and sub-woofer. Specs: 1 x 40w + 2 x 15W + 1 x 10W
    I have to be honest, I have no idea how they get Stereo sound out of this set up. The box states they use the Blumlein stereo technique.
    The top of the speaker has the classic Volume, Bass and Treble Controls which I really like.
    I had trouble getting good vocals out of the music using the manual controls. I had to crank up the mid-tones in my smartphones EQ to get the sound I liked. This is the only reason for the 4-star rating. I did look for an App on Google Play store for this speaker to perhaps tweak the sound, but no luck at the time of this review.
    It appears (As I cannot see inside) they have one mid-range speaker facing the front and one facing the rear of the speaker. I believe this must be how they separate into stereo.
    I found that it simply sounds better in a larger room and you’re not sitting right next to the speaker.
    That being said. this speaker delivers the boom. Massive bass and can get very loud.
    Bottom line;
    Only Con – Needs better mid-range (Vocal) sound without having to tweak through EQ.
    Pros – High end solid unit, Great Bass, Portable, Great looking with impressive battery life.

    This speaker sounds great. And, it is loud! We take it everywhere. The only negatives, and the reason for four stars, are that it does not allow you to charge your phone through it and does not have an auxiliary input. Otherwise, it is fantastic.

    Marketed as the “mightiest portable speaker from Marshall”, the Tufton Bluetooth Speaker more than lives up to this claim. Weighing in at 10.8lbs, this beautiful solid retro iconic design delivers an awesome quality and clear sound that spans across all frequencies. Designed for durability, its compact size of just under 14” tall, approximately 9” wide and slightly shy of 6.5 inches deep, makes it very portable. Portability is further enhanced with a detachable carrying handle whose appearance, in a retro way, resembles that of a guitar strap.
    The Tufton offers a multi-directional sound through an active stereo loudspeaker and a bass reflex system. Engineered as a 3-Way System, the speaker produces sound from three separate devices – a tweeter, mid-range driver, and subwoofer. And with an additional midrange driver on the rear of the speaker, the listener receives a true 360-degree Blumlein stereo sound experience. Reminiscent of the Marshall Guitar Amps of earlier days including the bass sound when you initially turn the volume, bass, or treble knobs and the battery charge indicator light, the Tufton is certainly not short on present day technology.
    Enjoy your favorite music via Bluetooth or by using the AUX plug with the 3.5 mm stereo jack. The 5.0 Bluetooth technology paired instantly for me with several devices, and because of the speaker’s multi-host functionality design, each of these devices can work together up to 30 feet. Water resistant with an IPX2 rating and 20+ hours of portable playtime, coupled with its rugged design and construction, this little gem of a speaker is made to be great for indoor or outdoor use. The Marshall Tufton Bluetooth Speaker is ruggedly designed, extremely durable, has an exceptional sound and is obviously made to take ANYWHERE you go! I have two other “top of the line” portable and comparable speakers that are really nice, but they are not my favorites anymore. The Marshall Tufton is a terrific speaker!
    Specifications:
    Class D amplifier: 1 x x40w + 2 x 15W +1x10W
    Max SPL: 102 dB @ 1m
    Frequency Range: 40-20 000Hz
    Mains Input Voltage 100-240v
    Mains Frequency: 50/60 Hz

    Great speaker that is compact but can deliver a punch. Much better than the JBL portable line. This is as loud as you can get before investing into a party speaker Ex. LbJ 300. I was going to buy a aiwa Exos-9 but this was closer to a size I was looking for. I bought it at 329.99 and at that price it is hard to beat. If you don’t want to pay full retail the Exos-9 is a better deal. Battery life on the Tufton is amazing with intermittent use and pretty good when close to full volume. It charges very fast. The one con will be it is very analog. No app, updates, and Wi-Fi connection. I didn’t buy it to have Alexa or Google function. I bought this to have the baddest compact speaker with Big Sound. I have taken this to parties and it blows people away of how good it sounds for the size. Great buy and very content with it. You do get what you are paying for.

    Marshall Tufton Bluetooth portable speaker : Whether or not you’re familiar with Marshall, this Bluetooth speaker will take you by surprise. Most importantly, this “lovely piece of kit” as the British would say, brings a welcome, different approach to portable Bluetooth speakers. I’m going to describe its design as respectfully nostalgic and fun. Recreating Marshall’s iconic look would be a travesty if it was done with cheap feeling materials or if it ignored Marshall’s attention to details. Corner braces, classic look, but modern materials all around and precise feeling controls. This Tufton speaker has a look, feel and sound that reminds me of the precision and quality that Marshall introduced early in the ’60s to the emerging world of rock & roll.
    I knew they got the sound right in this Tufton speaker as soon as I queued up my first selection to play on the Tufton: the Rolling Stones’s ”Waiting on a Friend”. Solid, balanced, powerful. And then, Adele followed, only proving that this was one very smooth, nicely detailed speaker. I’m playing lots of other music genres as I write this, and all sound great.
    SETUP: Couldn’t be easier. I held down the small but obvious bluetooth button, and found “Tufton” in my iPhone’s Bluetooth settings. My iPhone played music immediately, and held onto the BT connection easily out to 50ft where I stopped testing. There’s a very subtly labelled AUX port on the lower rear of the speaker cabinet, intended for a 3.5mm stereo audio plug connection.
    The Tufton’s Volume, Bass and Treble controls on the top panel allowed me to correct speaker tone for my preferred balance. These are easy to read, exceptionally smooth and tight. They feel high quality adding to the overall feeling of premium quality.

    [Speaker is 9”x 6.5” x13.7” and weighs under 11 lbs. There are apparently 4 Class D amplifiers!!! specified to deliver 102dB of sound level @1 meter. Marshall specs this to play for 20+ hours. IPX2 water resistance.]
    PEFORMANCE: The Marshall Tufton is designed to distribute sound to a pretty large area, at significant volume, with clean, accurate reproduction. While the speaker is a bit heavier than typical, the ability to reach loud, undistorted, entertaining levels in those big spaces is worth the effort. And, you look pretty serious carrying that iconic Marshall speaker at your side. Thank you for the thoughtful carry handle.
    My music was distributed very broadly out in front of the speaker, with additional sound from the rear. The speaker cabinet is mostly all grill on the front panel, with a smaller, round speaker grill on the back panel that conceals a rear firing speaker. That, of course, explains the room filling ability of this Marshall Tufton. I’ll describe the sound as weighted a bit more towards the bass, but the tone controls on the top panel as well as my own phone EQ controls allowed me to adjust the tonal balance to my liking. Because of the tonal balance, older recording are especially nice sounding, with added richness to the sound.
    The Marshall Tufton is not an ordinary Bluetooth speaker and its appearance may confuse those who miss the historic design reference. But for many, it’s a fun way to remember Rock & Roll history while enjoying an awfully nice sounding portable speaker. I like it and can recommend it for all these reasons.

    Marshall Tufton design is very unique and well built. Setup is quick and easy. I was able to connect using Bluetooth without any issues. I played a song from phone and the sound quality is better. In the top of speaker, volume knob is used to turn on and adjust the volume. There are other two knobs for Bass and Treble. There is a LED indicator for battery level. I have charged the speaker fully and played the songs for more than 10 days at least 2 hours per day. It came close to 20+ hours of playtime.
    BlueTooth 5.0 technology allows you to connect to a variety of wireless devices with a range of 30ft. Tufton is engineered as a 3-Way System, produced sound from three separate devices – a tweeter, mid-range driver, and subwoofer with class D amplifier. This configuration produces a clear and articulate sound across all frequencies. This speaker rated with IPX2 for water-resistant.
    This speaker is huge and heavy. The heavy duty strap will allow to carry the speaker without any issues. I love the design of this speaker and sound quality and highly recommend to anyone who is looking for traditional look of bluetooth speaker.
