The Marshall Willen II is a powerhouse of sound in a pocket-sized frame, designed for those who refuse to compromise on audio quality regardless of where they are. Released in 2024, this portable speaker evolves the Marshall legacy with a slightly larger frame specifically engineered to maximize bass and improved drivers that ensure a balanced sound across all frequencies, from quiet whispers to loud anthems.
Built for the adventurous, the Willen II is completely dust and waterproof with an IP67 rating. It can be submerged in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes, making it the ideal companion for poolside lounging, rainy commutes, or outdoor excursions where dirt and water are inevitable.
Connectivity is seamless and future-proof. Equipped with Bluetooth 5.2 and Multipoint connectivity, the Willen II allows for easy device switching. It is also Bluetooth LE Audio-ready, opening the door to advanced audio sharing via Auracast™. For those who need to stay connected, a built-in microphone enables completely hands-free calling without interrupting your activity.
Sustainability is baked into the design. Marshall has utilized GRS certified post-consumer recycled plastic for 70% of the plastic components—sourced from preloved electronics and CDs—and the entire build is PVC-free. To ensure longevity, Marshall also offers authorized repair services and spare parts for the device.
Control is intuitive, whether using the physical controls or the Marshall Bluetooth app. The app allows users to fine-tune their experience with equalizers and volume adjustments, ensuring the signature Marshall sound is tailored exactly to your preference.
