There’s just something effortlessly cool about a Marshall speaker. The vintage rock ‘n’ roll aesthetic, the tactile design details, and the premium materials create a vibe that stands out in a sea of cookie-cutter audio gear. Enter the Marshall Kilburn III, a portable speaker that doesn’t just aim to fill your space with music, it aims to elevate the entire mood.

Think of it as your personal gateway to luxurious soundscapes, whether it’s taking centre stage in your living room or perched on your nightstand. Here’s everything you need to know about this luxury speaker from the house of Marshall.

Marshall Kilburn III: Luxury meets top-notch specs

Seven years after the launch of its predecessor, the Kilburn III lands with a bang, boasting a design that is unmistakably Marshall and a feature set that feels tailored for today’s audiophile. Wrapped in Marshall’s signature finishes (choose from Black, Brass, or Cream), it feels as much a luxury showpiece as a tech device.

But the real showstopper is 50 hours of uninterrupted playback on a single charge! That’s double the battery life of its predecessor, meaning you can host a weekend getaway without ever reaching for the charger. And when you do need to juice it up, the 30W USB-C PD charger provides a generous eight hours of playback from just a 30-minute charge.

Marshall has engineered the Kilburn III to deliver 360-degree audio that fills the room with rich, nuanced sound. Its architecture features a 4-inch woofer, two 2-inch full-range drivers, and a powerful combo of one 30W Class D amp and two 10W Class D amps. For the audiophiles – it can hit a sound pressure level of up to 91dB at one metre, and the bass reflex system ensures the lows are deep, textured, and resonant.

The Marshall Bluetooth app lets you tweak everything from EQ settings to firmware updates. And yes, there’s a full suite of physical controls including volume, bass, treble, playback, pairing, and more.

Moreover, the Kilburn III isn’t just a pretty face with killer sound; it’s practical too. The speaker carries an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance, and a USB-C port with power delivery doubles as a power bank to keep your devices charged on the go.
