Marshall Bluetooth speaker and heritage lineup updates

Overview

Marshall’s product rollout expanded significantly through mid-2026, spanning home, portable, and heritage-themed audio segments.

In June, the company launched the Stockwell III portable speaker, featuring a 40-hour battery life, IP55 rating, and True Stereophonic 360° sound. The unit includes a user-replaceable battery and a USB-C port that functions as a power bank. During this period, the Emberton III portable speaker also saw promotional price reductions, notably during Amazon Prime Day.

In July, Marshall introduced the Bromley 450, a compact party speaker with integrated stage-light presets and over 40 hours of playback. This was followed by the official release of the fourth-generation Acton IV and Stanmore IV home speakers. These models feature upgraded acoustic architecture, including new tweeters and redesigned waveguides, alongside Auracast™ multi-room linking and LDAC support. They also introduced a customizable “M” button for quick access to presets.

To commemorate the 60th anniversary of Jimi Hendrix’s partnership with the brand, Marshall released a limited-edition Action III speaker in a purple-black finish. This heritage focus culminated in late August with the full Hendrix 60th Anniversary Collection. The collection utilizes a psychedelic aesthetic, including a purple ‘oil-on-water’ pattern and an ‘all-seeing eye’ motif. Key items include the Major V Hendrix Edition on-ear headphones with over 100 hours of battery life, Emberton III speakers with hand-dipped silicon sleeves, and the JMH Studio Bundle, which features a handmade 20W valve amplifier constructed in Bletchley, UK.

In late August, Marshall further expanded its Hendrix-themed offerings with the Emberton III Hendrix Edition, a compact portable speaker featuring a black and purple design, 360-degree sound, and an IP67 rating. Concurrently, the company announced a price reduction for the Acton III home speaker, which is now available for 200 euros.
