Marshall Acton III bluetooth speaker
€269
I have a soft spot for the Marshall Acton speaker range. The bluetooth devices look like an old-school amp but pack modern wireless technology under its grille so you can use it with your bluetooth-enabled devices. It’s the most compact speaker in Marshall’s home line-up, but it offers sound that will fill up the room, re-engineered to be even more immersive. Getting set up is simple, with a bluetooth-pairing button on the device, plus controls for bass and treble. There is no complex app needed to set it up or tune the audio.
Having said that, the app does come in handy. Marshall says it is prepared for the next generation of bluetooth too, with over-the-air updates via the app to bring the latest software and features to the devices.

The Acton III isn’t just limited to bluetooth devices though; the speaker also has a 3.5mm connection so you can hook up devices with an auxiliary cable. The device comes in three finishes too – original black, vintage cream or relaxed brown – so you can choose which one fits best with your decor.
