In 2026, Marshall splits its lineup into Home Speaker (Homeline III + Homeline IV), Portable, Party (Bromley), TV Sound (Heston), and the Heddon hub for multi-room sync.

TL;DR: Small rooms / new buy: Acton IV (or Acton III for price / limited colors); mid living rooms: Stanmore IV; larger rooms / TV: Woburn III or Heston 120. On the go: Willen II (ultra-compact) → Emberton IIIStockwell IIIMiddleton IIKilburn III. Outdoor parties: Bromley 450 or Bromley 750. Models Stockwell II, Kilburn II, Middleton (gen 1), Tufton, Willen, Emberton II are previous generations (District M no longer imports new stock).

Marshall (UK) started with guitar amps in 1962; its home and portable speakers keep the metal grille, script logo, and familiar bass/treble knobs.

Marshall’s 2026 portable line centers on long battery life, water/dust resistance, and 360° sound. Below are models currently sold at District M; the section ends with a previous generation table so you do not confuse older articles or gray-market listings.

Willen II (smallest)

17+ hours battery, IP67 (submersible to 1 m for 30 minutes), Bluetooth 5.3 LE, hands-free mic, carry strap. Mono ~88 dB SPL: a true pocket/picnic speaker. Replaces Willen (previous generation).

Emberton III

Pocket stereo speaker: 20W (2×10W), 32-hour battery, IP67, True Stereophonic. District M stocks the Lunar New Year 2026 edition and Sage/Midnight Blue colors. Replaces Emberton II (previous generation).

Tufton was once the largest portable (80W, 20+ hour battery, IPX2). Marshall still sells it in some markets, but District M no longer imports new stock; high-power portable needs now point to Kilburn III or the Bromley party line.

Party: Bromley 450 and Bromley 750

  • Bromley 750 (2025): 127 dB, wheels + pull handle, Sound Character Control (flat → party mode), IP54. Flagship party speaker.

Detailed comparison: Bromley 450 vs Bromley 750 and Bromley 750 hands-on.

TV Sound: Heston 120 and Sub 200

Heston 120 is Marshall’s first soundbar: 5.1.2 layout, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, HDMI eARC, Wi-Fi (AirPlay, Spotify Connect, Google Cast), and Bluetooth 5.3. When the TV is off, you can still stream music. Read the Heston 120 introduction; pair with the wireless Heston Sub 200 for deeper bass.

Heddon: in-home speaker sync hub

Heddon (2026) streams over Wi-Fi and plays multiple Marshall speakers in sync via Auracast. It pairs most naturally with Homeline IV (Acton IV, Stanmore IV): enable setup on the hub, hold M-button on the speaker to join. RCA in for turntables (phono preamp required) and RCA out for older Homeline speakers. Marshall is running a buy-2-Home-Speaker-get-Heddon promotion in some markets.

FAQ

Is Marshall Homeline III still the latest home line?

No longer the newest. In 2026 Marshall launched Homeline IV: Acton IV and Stanmore IV (Auracast, LDAC, stronger amps). Acton III / Stanmore III / Woburn III remain on sale; there is no Woburn IV yet. Marshall also added Heston (TV) and Heddon (hub).

Should I buy Acton IV / Stanmore IV or gen III?

Is Stockwell II still sold at District M?

No new imports. Stockwell II is a previous generation. Replace it with Stockwell III: 40+ hour battery, IP55, True Stereophonic 360°, replaceable battery, and USB-C reverse charging.

Kilburn III or Bromley 450 for a picnic?
