The latest Kilburn model comes equipped with a striking 50-plus hours of portable playtime in one single charge of the battery, which is more than double that of its predecessor. The speaker also comes equipped with 360° True Stereophonic sound, thanks to a stereo arrangement with no blind spots. True to Marshall’s ethos, this speaker has been engineered to be turned up loud, without compromising sound quality. Marshall claims the result is a “harmonious blend of bass, mids and treble at any volume.”

Marshall has once again taken the classic aesthetic inspired by their amps and rock n’ roll heritage by incorporating intricate details such as tactile control knobs and a carrying strap lined with velvet that can be easily removed and reattached with guitar strap buttons. Thanks to its portable design and impressive rechargeable battery, the Kilburn III can be carried around the home without the bother of wires and power bricks. With an IP54 dust- and water-resistance rating, it can provide the perfect soundtrack both inside and out.
“Kilburn III represents a groundbreaking evolution in our product line, showcasing a completely reengineered acoustic design. We’ve enhanced its visual appeal, refined usability and extended the playtime to over 50 hours. Kilburn III is a remarkable upgrade from the highly appreciated Kilburn II,” said Hanna Wallner, Product Manager, Marshall Speakers, in a statement.
The Marshall Kilburn III releases May 27 in a black-and-brass or cream colorway on Marshall.com for $379.99. The speaker will be available to purchase through other retailers starting on June 10. Shop both colorways below.
