Marshall Middleton: a portable speaker with IP67 waterproofing and 20 hours of battery life for $300

UK company Marshall has unveiled a new portable speaker called the Marshall Middleton.

Here's What We Know

This model is equally as good for home use as it is for fun parties at the beach, poolside or outdoors. It's IP67 waterproof and dustproof, which means it's rain and dirt proof.

The speaker has two 3" 15W woofers, as well as two 10W tweeters. It also uses True Stereophonic, Marshall's unique form of multi-directional stereo sound, to provide a fully immersive experience wherever you are.

Connectivity is via Bluetooth 5.1 and there's also a 3.5mm audio jack. In the proprietary mobile app, you can adjust the equaliser and combine multiple speakers for synchronised playback. In addition, there is a button on the chassis for adjusting the bass and treble.

The battery life is another strong point of the new product. A single battery charge lasts for more than 20 hours, and a full charge takes about 4.5 hours. At the same time, just 20 minutes of charging will provide another 2 hours of listening to music.

The Marshall Middleton is priced at $300.
