I purchased the Acton 3 and the Woburn 3 to try them out. I'm returning the Woburn 3. Nothing wrong with it, it's a beast! But I was more impressed by the Acton 3 considering its size and price.
I purchased it last week. Oh Man… this is just awesome, great sound, great bass , louder than you expect. I am in love with this one. Just can’t stop myself listening songs on this one….
I heard this on display at a Best Buy and walked over to buy the Acton III. But for some reason, I remembered of a Marshall Speaker with Straps and picked up the Kilburn II. Once I turned it on, I hated it. I ended up returning the Kilburn II and bought the Acton III which I originally wanted. This is my first Marshall speaker besides the Motif II A.N.C earphones. Totally worth the money and never regretting it.
I bought an Acton III after checking your review and I couldn't be more happy with the purchase. I was initially eyeing a Stanmore iii but for my small studio it felt like an overkill. Acton fills up the place nicely around mid volumes and when I listened to stanmore and Acton at the store I couldn't hear a noticeable difference in the sound quality. I also tested Woburn III and it was a totally different beast. Would love to get it someday. Thanks for the quality reviews. Really appreciate it.
I have the first generation Acton and it is simply amazing! Thanks to your videos, I haven't bought the 2nd generation speaker. And thanks again that now I can easily buy the 3rd generation 😁 Great videos and best of luck on RUclips!
The acton 3 is incredible, got it yesterday from watching your reviews and others. I still can't believe it sounds this good. Also the analog look gives a great touch at home.
Sound quality and the tone are the most important things to me. I am looking to buy a speaker set for the home, but one that is not too large. So, not any of the Woburns, and the Tufton is too expensive for me. I am weighing up the prices and availability, and the sound quality between the Acton 3 and the JBL boombox 2, which has bluetooth 5.2 and is water resistant, and also has stereo, but isn't as rich in sound as the Marshalls. So far the JBL is way more available to me. .This is the review that got me interested in the Acton 3. Without this review I would never have considered any of the Marshall speakers. You have opened up another door, thanks for posting this excellent and honest, also straight forward review. Super helpful. Thanks
I purchased the Acton 3 today, excited to get it. I feel it is such a great style with equal sound capabilities! Plus the future proofing updates will be attractive as well with adding other Marshall speakers.
Personally sounded like the Acton 3 was better in project and wider soundstage. The Klipsch while I love the looks was a bit more hollow or quieter in loudness. The original Acton was good but not nearly as loud, that being said I would be content owning any single one of them but the Acton 3 would be my choice if I had disposable income
Finally bought the Marshall acton 3 , brown colour today , just to clarify does the metal accents in this version look kind of rose goldish , couldn’t find any videos to compare , please do clarify
Thanks for a great review. Purchased the Acton 3 based on this review and some of your other ones. Needed to replace an old Bose speaker. It hooks up into our turntable and is a great bluetooth speaker. Thanks again!
I got the Acton 3 after watching your video, actually you dissuaded me from buying Bose revolve plus and am i glad . The Acton 3 sound pretty frickin awesome!!!
So I have been using the Acton 3 for two weeks now, even though it's quite good I feel like the bass is a bit lacking. I'm considering upgrading to a Stanmore 3 for better bass. Was the bass considerably better with the Stanmore in your experience, is it worth getting?
I love the way this speaker looks, but kind of hate the idea of having home speakers. I personally prefer portable speakers, but that's just a pet peeve of mine. I also completely agree on your opinion that the Acton 3 sounds the best out of all of them. It would most definitely make for an amazing part of a home speaker setup. Love the video and I hope to see some more speaker reviews in the near future, have a nice day, Danny!!
Great video presentation you are the Marshall spokesperson your favorite these do look like home speakers the Emberton is more my speed. I’m glad to see new speakers entering the market place.
Been looking at the Acton 2 as I haven’t been able to find the original Acton but I will definitely be splurging on the Acton 3 now, thanks! 😁 (also hung around till the end haha)
2 equalizers, not 3 the first knob is the volume knob, it doesn't count as an equalizer since it's a master frequency changer, a normal equalizer changes very specific frequencies.
That was a great review and indeed the brown color looks amazing!..it wasn't in stock when I ordered my Acton 3. Hey you mentioned lossless and I think it would be great if you did a video on sound differences between bluetooth and wired methods. perhaps even introduce a digital to analog converter in the review to see how hi-fi lossless sounds with these speakers. Keep up the good work with these videos.👍
What settings (i.e. trebble / bass) do you find best for the type of music here that you listen to on the Acton 3? Thanks for the reviews, you sold me on the 3! Sounds so much better than just about anything!!! :)
Just received the Acton III and......I so do not like the clearly visible seam, where the material is joined together. Makes it look tacky. Also it will come undone overtime. First I thought it was a defect of some sort, but I now have discovered they all have it. Surely Marshall could have thought of a solid way to cover the speaker in that price range.
Hi, your videos are really well made and I appreciate that you compare the new products to the original lineup. In this video the waveform of the acton III looks pretty compressed and less dynamic than the original acton but your hearing impressions are pretty similar. How is that? Im thinking about buying the acton III but am also considering the original acton or stanmore. Main Use Cases would be vinyl via aux and bluetooth streaming. What would you suggest?
The waveforms here aren't super high definition samples so compression would be hard to tell here. They are both running an SBC (mp3 quality) music file over bluetooth so the bit rate is the same. If you can get the original acton, it's just as good sounding at the 3. It's the 2 I recommend avoiding for muddy sound.
I have the original acton, what do you think of buying acton 3? Original acton is bad bluetooth connection😂 But I like sound quality. I can't decide. Thank you for the good video!
Hi Danny...awesome review....ACTON 3 is currently 299 ( Canadian ) ... 215 ( US ) ......would you say thats a great deal and worth the money ? thx bud....cheers from Canada
Is that new tech already released. I find it quite weird that they market a product with new features, but it relies on tech which has not been released yet. That sound so weird
Hey, Danny! Your review is amazing as always, thanks! I heard the sound of Emberton 2 and I loved it! I just want to get something bigger and more mature with the same amazing sound. Does Acton 3 have that deep, pleasant bass and realistic vocals? And one more question is it fine if I put Acton 3 next to me, like 3 feet. I'm not fond of loud music so I prefer quality over loudness. I mean, does it also sound good at low volume? Or maybe there's a better alternative for me?
At a certain point there are a lot of speakers that would be good for you. The Acton 3 to me has a wonderful sound, and far exceeds the emberton’s ability. Yeah if you are sticking with Marshall then the Acton III or Stanmore III (both the same for close low volume listening) are more than most need. You’ll like the vocals on it.
I am seriously considering getting Acton to replace one of my Sony XB31. What I have right now I am quite satisfy with the sound quality and sound volume. It just that one of my speaker Sony XB31 keep on turning itself off. I am not sure if it is a feature function or sometjing went wrong with the battery causing it to shut down. Oh forget to tell you the line up. I got 3 JBL(2 of them is Flip, and one Extreme 3). Then I also get a set of Sony, 2 of them is XB22, and one XB31. With alll these works together, I am very satisfy with sound quality. But now, I just annoy a bit when XB31 keep turning itself off. So I am now eyeing this Acton. I have a question for this Acton(it may sound like a stupid question, but it is important part for my considering of buying it). The question is, will this Acton turn itsef off? Also, what kind of watts power it consume? I had extra air-con in my room which take away a lot of watts power from my elextrical outlet. I have to operating all other electrical equiptment to prevent the power overdraw that would lead to my circuit breaker to cut off power(it happen every now and then when I forget about the issue), then I have to go outside to switch the circuit back on, kinda annoying sometime. Thus, I am more mindful of the power require to use any electronic equiptment i buy. So, this second question, what kind of juice it will take while operating? I would be very grateful if you could help me with these two seemingly stupid question. Thank you. Oh I forget to mention. All these 6 speakers I use it as a home speaker, meaning I permanently plug in power on all of the speakers. Also, I do not use Bluetooth function on any of the speakers. I found using bluetooth it seomhow drain memory from my TV causing memory overloaded and TV re-start and so on. Particularly when use speaker sharing functions, memory driain pretty bad, I can hardly watch TV smoothly. I fix this by using "AUX" audio line split it to every speakers, and it work out very well, my TV hardly restart due to memory issues.
Hey Danny, I have a Emberton II and it is amazing. Now I am kind struggling to choose between Acton III and Harman Kardon Aura Studio 4. Do you have any idea about these 2?
One Q for you is I am getting an Offer on Stanmore II which is cheaper by around US$ 120 from the Stanmore III but more or less same as Acton III. Which one to go for ??
Hi, I have a Kilburn 2 portable speaker currently. And I am looking to stack up another Marshall speaker along with it to play songs on both the speakers. Can you please help clarify which all Marshall speakers are compatible to be stacked together with Kilburn 2?
I have jbl flip 5, just purchased the Acton 3 and iam gonna return it bcoz its not worth it (sound is nothing special), looks cool but only, its waste of money. I rather buy some audiophile headphones
Does it disconnect after a while on bluetooth if no audio is playing. My emberton turns off automatically if there’s no audio being played for twentyish minutes.
hi everyone. I have a pair of bose soundlink flex. I alway pair them whenever I wanted to listen to them. sounds great in stereo. how about these pair vs the marshall acton III alone.. ? which sound the best ? thanks.
Fun Fact: The power switch is fake. It doesn't actually switch off the power. This speaker continues consuming power when the switch is "off". Pathetic design. You'd think a physical power switch would cut the circuit, but no. The speaker is put in a sleep mode for unknown reasons since you can't actually do anything with the speaker in this mode. The speaker must be switched off at the wall if you want it to stop consuming energy.
I like that this review is straight to the point and not a 18 minutes art show!
Wow, a sound review that actually dives into sound quality right away. Awesome review and deserves more views
I purchased the Acton 3 and the Woburn 3 to try them out. I'm returning the Woburn 3. Nothing wrong with it, it's a beast! But I was more impressed by the Acton 3 considering its size and price.
Does Acton 3 automatically turn off or disconnect bluetooth if nothing is playing for a while? I
Is acton 3 wired?
@@Tiger-0-n Yup! After 10 mins I think it automatically disconnects.
What about the bass? Is it good? Is Acton 3 pretty much better than emberton or is just a matter of sound power?
How this speaker hold ups when compair to bookshelf speakers of same price range??
Just bought an Acton 3 literally a few hours after watching this. LOVE IT
I purchased it last week. Oh Man… this is just awesome, great sound, great bass , louder than you expect.
I am in love with this one. Just can’t stop myself listening songs on this one….
The Acton 3 definitely for the win, it’s just sounds more richer and clarified than the other 2 in my opinion

Your reviews are the best out there! I love your videos and commentary!
I was set on the Middleton then I jumped up to the tufton now I’m nearly set on the Acton. Thank you for all your videos!
The Acton 3 looks and sounds great. I stayed to the end and subscribed. Love your channel.

I got this brown color today. It’s a great speaker. Excellent sounds.
Comparison of kilburn 2 and acton 3 please
Acton 3 sounds mighty impressive. Enjoyed your review - as always.
After watching your video for like 100th time, I got the Acton 3 yesterday and really happy with it. Thanks Danny 👍👍👍

Hey Danny, you reviews are so good. Thanks for this.
Thanks...great info in your review. I think it's the Acton 3 for me. 🤩
I purchased Marshall Acton 1 in the beginning of 2015 for 300€,still enjoying perfect sound quality

You may be better off with the Kilburn II or the Stockwell. I wish the Kilburn II had the same controls and on switch as the Acton. Shame.

Great review Danny! Ugh. I have too many speakers already.... But im coming for the Woburn. The acton is GREAT but I want the maximum.

Just found your Chanel. Thanks for the reviews!

thanks for using nice music in the audio test, the original acton sounds hollow its like there's no sound deadening in the enclosure

Heck yeaaaaaa
Awesome review, I want the brown color but its not available 🙁
Hey Danny, which one sounds better and clearer between klipsch one ii and acton iii? Pls let me know. Lots of love and support!
The speaker from Marshall that can fit into any retro TV shows like Stanger Things. Good for pc speaker or better to get bookshelf speakers instead?
Your link for the Marshall Acton III doesn't work. Just goes to Amazon home page. Same with the Stanmore III. FYI
Commenting for better reach and I love your videos.
Your RUclips videos can be reade outside the app ? That awesome. First time to see that. I try other channel they don’t. 😅
Acton 3 is a beast ! It's a better project than stanmore since the first version.....for me acton 3 sounds now like a three way system.
Is that new tech already released. I find it quite weird that they market a product with new features, but it relies on tech which has not been released yet. That sound so weird
I would like purchase it 🙂

Hi Danny, thanks for this useful video!
Which speaker would you recommend between this Marshall Acton 3 and the UE hyperboom ?
The hyperboom is awesome and loud but so expensive now with inflation. I think the acton 3 will get you enough boom for a casual listener.
@@DannyPops Thanks for your answer 👍 I think I'll buy myself an Acton 3 for christmas!
Hey - Thanks for the video! I have an audio technica bluetooth record player. I assume this pairs up? My old JBL speaker does

hey, can this be used as a home theatre speaker for my TV?
I bet Slayer sounds great on it.
Why Marshall Acton iii when connected via aux port, the sound is way way softer than Bluetooth connection?
Nice mic to check the sound 👍
One Q for you is I am getting an Offer on Stanmore II which is cheaper by around US$ 120 from the Stanmore III but more or less same as Acton III. Which one to go for ??
How loud were you pushing the Klipsch speakers before they started to distort?
Nice video! Keep it up 👍
This might take a bit of work but was wondering if you could perhaps do a list of speakers that work with Google Assistant.
Hi, just a quick question is this good on computer and gaming stuff? ( I honestly don't know about speakers ) thank you!
Hi,
I have a Kilburn 2 portable speaker currently. And I am looking to stack up another Marshall speaker along with it to play songs on both the speakers. Can you please help clarify which all Marshall speakers are compatible to be stacked together with Kilburn 2?
Should i turn it off everytime after i use it or just let it on ?
Is using the 3.5 aux connection have really bad audio quality as you mentioned “lossless quality audio”???
Hey👋🏻 great video😊
What about Stanmore 2 compare to Acton 3 ? Is that good to have Stanmore 2 compare to Acton 3?
I think the acton III is a better buy for the overall sound
How does it compare with sonos five ?
I have jbl flip 5, just purchased the Acton 3 and iam gonna return it bcoz its not worth it (sound is nothing special), looks cool but only, its waste of money. I rather buy some audiophile headphones
Yeay, I watched the full video, thanks for the thank you🤣
You did it! And helped :)
I hear some white noise in the test especially from Acton 3 in the first part of sound demo… is it from mic or?
Hai danny ,
Can you please recommend some Bluetooth speakers less than $150 with 3.5mm jack connectivity .
Thanks
Does it disconnect after a while on bluetooth if no audio is playing. My emberton turns off automatically if there’s no audio being played for twentyish minutes.
Can I connect my electric guitar directly or by a sound effect pedal to this speaker ?
does it needs to be plug in all the time
hi everyone. I have a pair of bose soundlink flex. I alway pair them whenever I wanted to listen to them. sounds great in stereo. how about these pair vs the marshall acton III alone.. ? which sound the best ? thanks.
Fun Fact: The power switch is fake. It doesn't actually switch off the power. This speaker continues consuming power when the switch is "off". Pathetic design. You'd think a physical power switch would cut the circuit, but no. The speaker is put in a sleep mode for unknown reasons since you can't actually do anything with the speaker in this mode. The speaker must be switched off at the wall if you want it to stop consuming energy.
