Marshall Heston 60 soundbar praised in test, drops to €500 amid mixed speaker reviews

The Marshall Heston 60 soundbar received a strong test rating of 8.1, praised for its compact size, solid bass, good spaciousness and musical balance. It supports virtual Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, HDMI‑eARC, Bluetooth, Google Cast, Apple AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect, making it a versatile all‑in‑one solution for small‑to‑medium rooms. The current promotional price of about €500 is the lowest ever recorded for the model.

Separately, broader Marshall speakers continue to attract buyers with their retro‑inspired design and rock‑brand cachet, but users criticize the audio performance. Reviewers note an over‑emphasis on mid‑range and bass, limited dynamic range, uneven texture across frequencies, and apps that offer only basic equalisation compared with competitors. These issues underline a gap between the product’s visual appeal and its sound fidelity.
