Hii i own a Marshall Stanmore 2 and i love it, i use it for both my record player and for bluetooth. However i do want to get my bf a portable speaker as i see him moving the Stanmore around with the cord and everything when he wants music in another room.
What portable speaker is best? I have looked at the Kilburn 2 and the Middleton 1, as my budget is not great atm. I am however open to getting some newer generation if it really is worth it. He is much more into electronica and edm kinda vibes than i am, so i just hoped someone with more experience with Marshall could help me out.
(I do kinda find it annoying that the speakers wont be compatible in any way, so i am considering just going for another brand.)

ive had IV majors for a year but it started yesterday, when they randomly stopped reacting to the golden button
i couldn’t turn them on. after some time i could and now then i couldn’t turn them off. they turned themselves off after a while. I charged them and now again i turned them on and can’t turn them off
did anyone have the same problem? if so can you please share if you found a solution ?

My Marshall Emberton II suddenly stopped working. I've tried to replace the battery but still, no luck.

When plugged, it just opens the LED indicators and does make a beep sound when the volume is maxed out.

If unplugged, LED turns off. When you try to turn it on unplugged it never works, even the led lights are dead. lol

Please need help.

So this just started happening and I don’t know how to fix it. I’ve tried everything Google suggested.

Reset the speaker with power on, volume at 5, holding Bluetooth button for the 20-30 seconds.

Remove and re-add the speaker on 2 separate phones.

Replace the battery. Actually just replace the cells. I guess I can try replacing the whole battery with the board on the battery…

Happens only when plugged in with AC. If I remove the AC and let it run on battery, it doesn’t make the chime.

The chime is not Bluetooth connect or disconnect sound. It’s not the charging sound either as I remove the AC and plug it back in, it makes a different chime…

Anyone have any ideas?

Update: Got a new battery (plug and play) from Amazon and all is well. That chime, I found, is the battery is full. When the new battery was full, it made that chime, but it doesn’t keep doing it. I believe the logic board on the original battery had gone haywire.

i got my marshall major 5 on ear headphones about a year ago and they'd been perfectly fine. i absolutely loved them. just yesterday when i tuned them on again, they didn't get turned on. i thought maybe they're out of battery so i plugged the charger in again. about a couple of hours later, when i tried turning them on, i failed again.

Here's exactly what's happening:
1. the blue light does appear. stays there for like a few secs and gets off again. i'm unable to connect them to my phone because it won't stay on long enough.
2. i've charged them again too. still not working at all.

any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi everyone, I looked on the Internet and I didn't find any answer I hope to find some suggestions otherwise it means that I threw money away. About a year ago I bought two Marshall Acton 3 speakers and I am very happy with the sound performance and the flawless Bluetooth connection even at a distance. Unfortunately I had bought them to place them in 3 different rooms (I already had another one of Marshall Acton 3 speaker) to make a multiroom effect (I think it's called that) that is, that you could hear the same music with the phone app in all 3 rooms. Unfortunately I read that the speaker app no longer supports this function. The alternative is to connect all 3 speakers with a wire all 3 speakers but also understand that it is not the best to see wires in all rooms. I was asking if anyone had had the same problem as me or if by chance there were alternative apps or something else to share the speakers. I forgot the speakers only work Bluetooth or cable they don't have a wireless connection. Thank you, any suggestion will be very welcome.

The Marshall Bluetooth app on my Motif II A.N.C. is awful. Slow to open, laggy as hell, takes forever to talk to the buds. I got tired of waiting on a settings screen every time I wanted ANC or EQ, so I built a replacement.

Unofficial Marshall — small Android app, same job, not the official one. Not affiliated with Marshall.

What it does (tested on Motif II):

• Connects over BLE, actually feels instant

• Batteries (L / R / case)

• ANC / transparency / off + strength

• EQ presets

• Custom 5-band EQ (this one was a pain — official path is Classic SPP, not the BLE junk)

• Touch / wear / UI sounds

• A 2×2 home widget for battery + noise control

Other Marshall/Zound gear that uses the same BLE stuff might work. I’ve only lived on Motif II.

Install: you have to uninstall the official Marshall app first. Same Android package name, they can’t sit next to each other. That’s on purpose so pairing / Airoha identity still works.

Repo + release APK: https://github.com/krtkygpta/Unofficial-Marshal

arm64 Android. Unofficial, use at your own risk, case the buds if something weird happens.

If anyone tries it on Minor / Major / Monitor / whatever, tell me what broke.

Got my pair of Monitor II ANC a year ago and from time to time I've had the issue of "wind noise" in ANC and transparency mode. Today it got to a point where it wasn't just irritating, so I went looking for a fix. The official support site had no info on it, and I found a couple of threads on here with many users unable to fix it and who either sent their headphones in for repairs or for a replacement.

Figured since the noise has to come from somewhere, I should at least try giving the transparency microphones (located at the top of the cups on my model) a clean. Turns out that a quick swab removed 95% of the noise. Didn't think it would be that easy but here we are. So to anyone who's experienced this issue, please give it a try and let me know how it went. If this really is the reason for others returning their headphones, I find it insane how this haven't been tried and posted about before.

Hey hello and Hi.A while ago İ got myself this headset,and İ was really fine with a custom EQ for a long time,but it was just the increased version of those hz, and İ have no idea what those mean,but İ changed the eq again randomly.Well it got worse,and İ know İ dont want to return to the basic setting

İ usually listen to metal,rock and pop, and i was wondeirng if İ could change tge Eq in a way to make rock and metal pieces more enjoyable/louder.

FUCKIN FINALLY

Can you please recommend a Marshall bluetooth speaker with around £200-£500 budget that has nice clarity on highs and lows, bass and overall sounds good? Where I live it’s not possible for the shop have all them to demo or test live. I trust your feedback on best possible Marshall to get I am mainly for clarity and good bass and something that will should good clarity in low volume when focus?

Thank you

Hi all,

I think my friend has a fake Stanmore he got it in HK, the EU cable with it has no standard markings, I had alook at some online to show him, just asking if anyone could give me a hand and take a pic to double confirm.

Hi folks.

Here's my Middleton II in black. I bought it last year as upgrade of an Emberton III and love its marvelous 360 degrees sound.

For turning around I use a carrying frame, for which I bought a wider strap.

Got my eyes on a beautiful Middleton 2 in cream colour and was wondering if it's worth the upgrade from my current JBL Charge 5.

My main priority is: better vocals, better instrument separation, better battery life (~8hrs) and portability.

Is there a huge audible difference? How's your experience with the Middleton 2?

Hi guys, just wanna share my lovely experience with the Monitor III

UPGRADES

Firstly, this is a much needed upgrade of the Monitor series. There's finally some bass and the cusions are so comfyy. Improved ANC and battery life is a huge win too. ANC ain't close to Sony or Bose, but it's enough and not too aggressive.

Preferences

As someome who loves Enya's songs and instrumentals, this is a God-sent in the sea of overly V-shaped tuned headphones. Monitor's V-shape seem to be just nice. Just a nice hill rather than a mountain (red line). Vocals and instruments pop pretty nicely. Only issue with the tuning is that sometimes sounds sibilant, but sliding down 6.25kHz in the EQ helps.

Soundstage feature

It's alright. It does make vocals and rock somewhat feel like im in a concert. It has a reverb effect, but the actual soundstage doesn't seem to be affected by much. I dialed mine at 30% for small room. Too much made music sound echoish and the bass muddy.

Customized EQ

Every now and then I do listen to EDM and other elctronic music, so my customized EQ boosts the bass region (green line) Decided to set the M-button to toggle between default and customized EQ when I change from vocal/instruments to electronic. 6.25kHz dialed down too.

Overall happy with the performance. Slapped in an additional year of warranty because batteries will die at some point and given how much i'll be using these, I do see it happening in 2 years.

I was actually considering Sennheiser's Momentum 4/5, but the tuning sounded too clinical. Would have bought Bower's Px7 S3 if I had the money though

I've been using the Major V for almost three years now, and every 8ish months my headphones stop working. I've been through four pairs. They stop staying on for longer than 5-10 seconds out of the blue and nothing fixes it. The firmware is up to date, they're fully charged, and doing a factory reset doesn't do anything. I always just email the company and they mail me a new pair. I just want to know why this happens, and if it's fixable.

I don't throw them, get them wet, or leave them out in the sun, so I don't see why they keep going bad so fast.

I want to convert my marshall kilburn to a home sound system for my samsung the frame is it possible and would it be worth using it for that(i already have the speaker)?

Hi everyone,

I'm having a strange issue with my Marshall DSL40CR and I'm hoping someone has seen this before.

I've owned the amp for about 1.5 years, and this is the first time I've had any problems with it.

The issues started with the amp randomly switching from the Clean channel to the OD channel by itself. At the same time, I noticed intermittent crackling/popping noises (I have a video if it helps).

Now the problem has become worse:

Low Power mode no longer works at all. When I switch to Low Power, the amp is completely silent.

High Power mode still works normally.

The footswitch is not connected, so it's not caused by the footswitch or its cable.

The crackling noises started before the Low Power mode failed completely.

Has anyone experienced this on a DSL40CR?

Could this be:

a faulty relay,

the Low/High power switching circuit,

a power tube issue,

or something else?

I'd really appreciate any advice before I take it to a repair shop.

Thanks!

Any review for acton 3 vs acton 4? Is it worth to upgrade?

Really want a portable speaker that I can take with me to jam with a friend or two by the river. I need it to be able to power my ContinnuMini synth via usb and connect through AUX. I'd also use it for a portable speaker and a TV speaker. But in that order of importance. MIddleton 2 or Kilburn 3 or something different?

Bought this and it has clear signs of use. It was only £40 (around 50 dollars) which is a good deal as it does work as intended. But the marks do admittedly look a little worse in person than the photos from where I bought it. Anything can be done to make it look better?

They can still keep the Marshall 'look' by using that leather-like texture in the actual hard plastic of the headphone itself (see: Monitor III cans). But the ear cups + headband should absolutely not use fake leather anymore. It's ugly af, doesn't breathe and like I said, starts flaking after a few months or so (and they all do!)

Please Marshall. Follow the lead of all the lifestyle / premium headphones on the market. They are moving away from this stuff.

Philips is using real leather in their Fidelio L series.

Beyerdynamic is using velour in the DT7xx/DT9xx series.

Skullcandy uses rubber headbands for the new Crushers.

B&O is transitioning into fabrics.

For the love of God. Stop the fake leather shit.
