Review on Immerse in High-Quality Sound with the Marshall Stanmore II Wireless Bluetooth Speaker – Black by Kenji Viray Tsuchida ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Everything is fine, I liked the product, I bought it for a reason.

I am the owner of JBL charge 3, Harman Kardon go play mini and actually Marshall Stanmore 2, so I will compare the latter with what I already had. The first thing you need to pay attention to is the appearance, it is simply gorgeous, because of it I bought it. I also liked that there is no battery, it is in such rather big acoustics, there is nothing to it, but only causes problems, as on the same Harman Kardon go play mini (the charge controller dies over time, followed by the battery). But this speaker is not for everyone, the sound here in direct comparison (and not in direct comparison) is clearly worse than that of Harman and only slightly better than that of JBL charge 3. There is only one midrange driver, the bass is somehow clamped, strongly relegated to the background. Highs are normal, mids are dull. All reviews focus on the fact that this speaker is more suitable for rock music, but this is not so, Harman Kardon plays literally everything better, including rock, despite the fact that it costs 2 times cheaper, and the bass is just something there, soft and enveloping! I knew what I was getting into, and the price did not matter, the main thing for me was the design, with these Marshall copes 100%. Conclusion: if you want external beauty, take Marshall, if you want high-quality sound, Harman Kardon is the best choice. There will be questions, write, I answer almost always quickly.

Pros
  • 1. Appearance 2. No battery (see comments) 3. Convenient control 4. RCA, Bluetooth 5.0 aptX, jack 3.5 5. Wow effect is present
Cons
  • 1. Sound quality 2. Price 3. Power lever (it was better on the previous model)

Good for a small room, in my bedroom. It is better to take the older version, do not spare money.

Didn't buy it myself. But at a price commensurate with the likes of Bose (which also does not pretend to be hifi), it loses a lot and precisely according to the requirements for boomboxes . Uniform sound field throughout the room . no obvious localization . Well, how does the farting of the violist in the third row convey . Probably not for this technique ;)))

Some pros: Good sound with a quality signal source. Its cons: There is no USB input for a flash drive.

I think it's worth watching and listening to something else.
