Marshall has joined forces with Awake NY to drop a limited edition Acton III speaker, and it's catching some serious attention. Combining Marshall's solid audio reputation with Awake NY's streetwear vibes, this speaker isn't just about sound—it's a statement piece.

The design is pretty slick: black-on-black checkered debossing and blue lighting details make it stand out without being over the top. The overlapping logos on the grill are a nice touch that fans of both brands will appreciate. Plus, it's PVC-free and uses 70% recycled plastic with vegan leather, so it's a nod towards sustainability, which is always good to see.

Under the hood, it's the same Acton III with the features expected from Marshall. It pumps out room-filling sound with a wider soundstage that's genuinely immersive. The Dynamic Loudness feature adjusts the tonal balance, so music sounds great no matter the volume level.

Connectivity is straightforward with Bluetooth 5.2—pairing is quick and painless. There's also a 3.5 mm input for those who prefer a wired connection. The top panel provides easy access to controls for volume, bass, treble, and playback, allowing tweaks on the fly without reaching for a device.

For the specs enthusiasts, it's packing one 30 Watt Class D amplifier for the woofer and two 15 Watt Class D amplifiers for the tweeters. That configuration delivers the clear and powerful audio that Marshall is known for. The speaker measures 260 x 170 x 150 mm, so it's compact enough for most spaces but doesn't skimp on sound.

It's also future-proofed with Over-The-Air updates and ready for next-gen Bluetooth features when they roll out. Durability-wise, it's built to last with high-quality materials and components.

The Acton III Awake NY Edition is up for pre-order at $279.99 and will be available globally on February 13. For those into high-quality audio with a side of style, this limited edition might be worth checking out.
