The perfect Bluetooth speaker for park hangs is here. Marshall upgraded its
portable speaker lineup with the Kilburn III, which notably has an impressive
playtime of at least 50 hours. Not only does it double the battery life of
Marshall's previous model, the Kilburn III will far outlast the competition,
like the Beats Pill or the Bang & Olufsen A1 and their 24-hour playback
limits.

Marshall's third iteration of the Kilburn comes roughly seven years after the
Kilburn II was introduced. Beyond the massive jump in battery life, the
company improved the water and dust resistance to IP54, meaning it can handle
some dirt and splashes of water. Marshall preserved the signature guitar amp
look of the Bluetooth speaker, while also keeping the tactile control knobs
that make adjusting volume, bass and treble much easier.

You'll still get Marshall's True Stereophonic sound that makes the music
sound the same no matter where you're sitting or standing. Even if you crank
the speaker to 10, Marshall promises that the bass, mids and trebles will
remain balanced. The Kilburn III weighs 6.7 lbs for an easier time bringing
to get-togethers and can even charge your phone.

The Kilburn III's upgrades are going to cost you, though, since it retails
for $379.99 now. Marshall kept the black and brass colorway that comes with a
velvet-lined carrying strap, but added a cream colorway for the refresh. The
Kilburn III is currently available on Marshall's website, but will arrive at
its retail partners on June 10.
