The latest addition to Marshall's Bluetooth lineup, the Kilburn III, brings a host of enhancements while staying true to the brand's signature aesthetics and sound pedigree. Sporting the classic Marshall amp-inspired design, this portable speaker is outfitted with vegan PU leather, tactile gold control knobs, and a retro-styled logo. A standout feature is the new shoulder strap with a velvet underside, evoking vintage guitar straps for a touch of functional nostalgia.

One of the Kilburn III's most notable updates is its extended battery life, capable of delivering over 50 hours of uninterrupted playback. This leap essentially doubles the performance seen in its predecessor, placing it miles ahead of many competitors in this category. Such longevity is invaluable for outdoor gatherings, evenings on the balcony, or extended weekend adventures, requiring minimal reaches for the charger.

In terms of durability, the speaker boasts an IP54 rating for water and dust resistance, making it a competent companion for light outdoor use. While it’s less rugged than some adventure-focused alternatives, it holds its own for occasional exposure to nature. Its size and weight, however, might make it less ideal for smaller backpacks, prioritizing sound impact over compact portability.

Under the hood, the Kilburn III is powered by two full-range drivers and a dedicated woofer, complemented by a bass reflex port for deeper low-end reproduction. Marshall leverages its proprietary "360° True Stereophonic" soundstage technology, promising stellar audio performance regardless of where you’re positioned around the speaker—a thoughtful feature for social settings.

Available now in Black and Cream colorways, the Kilburn III is initially sold exclusively through Marshall’s website ahead of its broader release on June 10. With this release, Marshall continues to fuse iconic design with practical upgrades, making the Kilburn III a compelling choice for those seeking both style and substance in their Bluetooth audio gear.
