    Great speaker. Always carry in my work backpack and being able to use as hands free is huge plus. Can call tech support and work hands free. Also great for those long on-hold calls.

    Packs A Punch

    This speaker may be small in size but powerful in sound. Built for portability, this speaker does it all. Pretty nice looking as well. I own a Willen I and the second version isn’t too much of a leap from the first. I like that the power button was moved from the gold button in the front to a dedicated power button on the top. The gold button is now used for music controls which I thought was a clever idea making navigation a lot easier. It still comes with the nice little strap the first version had that allows versatility in placement of the speaker. I can imagine a bike rider loving this feature because it would be easy to strap to a bike. Of course it being waterproof adds to how versatile the speaker is and how many different environments it can handle. I love the small size because you’re able to carry nearly everywhere. Don’t let the small size fool you. It’s actually powerful enough to handle a small gathering of friends. While it can handle a group, it can also handle being used as a speaker for work. This is where I use it the most. I use it for music and I use it for meetings. The sound is very clear and from what I can tell I can be heard very clearly. Battery life is only a few hours more than the first version but 17 hours is more than enough. I rarely charge it. Marshall also has an app that’s used in conjunction with the speaker. You can adjust your sound to your liking with the equalizer. Customize it by using the available presets too. Overall I love this little speaker. It definitely packs a punch. You will not be disappointed.

    Hello friends and welcome to my review of the new Marshall Willen II . Let me begin by saying the packaging was on point, no way this unit will be damaged in shipping. Also the thought put into the boxing is great. Best buy double boxed this unit as well so no shipping issues at all. Upon opening the box you will find a quick start guide and the Willen 2 with a charging cable that is USB C. Looking at the unit itself you will find that this unit is well made. The case looks like one of Marshalls large guitar amps. The screen over the speaker even looks like the classic amp grills. The difference is that this material is strong and can take a drop to the floor no problem. The case is also covered with Marshalls signature leather like material. This stuff is heavy duty and can take a lot of abuse. Also, Marshall decided to make the Willlen 2 a dust proof and water proof unit. That makes taking it along with you anywhere, not an issue. Now how does it sound? Well let me tell you i really like the sound, because it is pure Marshall goodness. I don't know how they do it but this little guy sounds big and i mean big. Surprising due to how small it is. Bass is smooth and even. Mids are just right with a clear sound. And the highs are balanced well with everything else. I am very happy with how it sounds compared to the budget style units i have tried in the past. That had a thin sort of sound to them, due to poor speakers. My favorite part of the Willen 2 is the strap on the back. I can put it on my belt and go. This leaves my hands free for other things and i always have my tunes with me sounding big! Do i recommend the Willen 2 ? OW yes!

    Impressive sound in a small package

    The Willen II by Marshall is a great portable speaker in a small package. Measuring less than 4" x 4" x 2" it's a compact sound machine. It's max volume is rated at 80 decibels which is plenty for indoors, or a small outdoor area. The unit boasts a 17 hour battery life insuring many hours of enjoyment and the (2) 38 watt Class D amplifiers really pack the sound into a small space. It has a 10 watt full-range driver and 2 passive radiators which give it a great, full-range sound. There's even a 5-bar LED light that shows your battery life. When used with the Marshall app, you can customize the sound with one of 3 EQ settings - Standard which provides classic "Marshall" sound, Push which adds a little extra bass and treble, and Voice which is great for podcasts or narration. The rubberized case is dust/water resistant and the IP67 rating keeps it dry for up to 30 minutes if it accidentally goes into the water. It also has a rubber strap on the back which allows you to attach it to virtually anything and the entire unit is small enough to fit in a backpack. The Willen II is not only a portable speaker though. With the built-in microphone, it doubles as a speakerphone and works great. I was able to talk and hear with clearly while on a phone call. The front of the unit has the control knob that looks like a volume control on a Marshall Amp! Push once for play/pause or to receive/end a call. Push twice to reject a call. Push left/right for rewind/fast-forward. Push up/down for volume control. This is a super-sounding portable speaker in a small package, that actually sounds good!

    I was impressed with the Willen I speaker, and this is a definite, if incremental, step up in most every way. Audio - The sound out of this thing is amazing for it's size. I wouldn't think you could get such good bass from such a small form-factor, but Marshall knows what they are doing. The Willen II is very slightly thicker than its predecessor which may assist with the added bass production. The overall volume capability is a bit higher as well. I don't know that you're going to be blowing people away in an open-air setting like the beach, but it is great indoors and sufficient outdoors as well. Connectivity - Bluetooth 5.3 allows for solid connectivity. They do have an app that you can download to adjust the EQ or create a "stack" where you connect multiple Marshall bluetooth speakers, but this doesn't work with the Willen I at this time so I cannot test it out. On it's own, this is still a very respectable speaker. Battery - I'd say the projected life of 17 hours is accurate. Your milage may vary with the EQ and volume you're listening at, but I don't have a problem charging only once every few days while listening to podcasts or music at a reasonable volume. It also charges in under 3 hours, so that's excellent. There is a strap on the back to secure the speaker to a pole or attach it to a backpack. This is a nice feature, but I haven't had much use for it on the original Willen, so I cannot comment on whether it will stay stretched out or not. Overall, great little speaker with amazing sound.

      Hi Kendrick, thanks for your review and feedback. For more volume, we recommend checking out the Emberton III or Middleton speaker. These are larger speakers which means they have larger components and are capable of more output.
