Marshall's new Marshall Bromley 750 is the brand's first entertainment speaker to focus on quality sound, long battery life and a robust design over flashy lighting effects. With 500 watts of power and 360-degree sound, it promises to revolutionize a category where compromises are no longer necessary - all for €999 (€1,299 $).
Imagine a party where the speaker doesn't flicker like a Christmas tree in an identity crisis, but instead emits a sound reminiscent of a Jimi Hendrix concert in your living room. Marshall, the brand that has equipped rock stars with amplifiers for decades, has finally entered the world of party speakers with the Bromley 750. Instead of following the trend of colorful lights and mediocre sound, Marshall has chosen to expand its amplifier philosophy: acoustics, durability and ease of use are the priorities. The result? The Marshall Bromley 750 speaker – for €999 (1,299 $), which sounds more like a guitar amp than a typical entertainment device. Ironic, right? Finally something for those who want entertainment without compromise.
Amplifier heritage in new packaging
The visual connection to Marshall’s amplifier history goes beyond the iconic logo. Every tactile element – from the brushed metal control panel to the stamped steel grille – comes straight from the brand’s vocabulary. The waterproof PU leather trim is a functional homage to the decades of gear used by Hendrix or Clapton. Marshall didn’t try to reinvent their visual language for a younger audience; they preferred to duplicate what has made them recognizable since the 1960s.
The 360-degree “True Stereophonic” sound system uses a precise driver arrangement with two upward-firing tweeters that push sound up and out. This solves the biggest pitfall of entertainment speakers: maintaining clarity when people are spread out across the room, rather than sitting in a single spot like traditional speakers. With two 10-inch woofers (150W each), two 5.25-inch midrange drivers (50W each), and four tweeters, it reaches a maximum volume of 127dB. It’s no wonder it feels like a portable PA system. The Marshall Bromley 750 beats the competition.
Adaptable sound character
The most interesting feature is probably the single button on the Marshall Bromley 750 that toggles between “Dynamic” and “Loud” modes. This control of the sonic character essentially gives you two speakers in one. Dynamic mode is optimized for indoor listening with controlled dynamics, while Loud opens everything up for outdoor spaces where you’re battling ambient noise. The 40+ hour battery life is worth mentioning – most party speakers die after 8-12 hours, just when the party is starting. Marshall’s swappable LFP (lithium-iron-phosphate) battery system means you can have a spare battery charged and swap it out in seconds. The battery also doubles as a power bank, which is a nice touch.
Performance meets practicality – Marshall Bromley 750
Dual XLR/quarter-inch combo inputs set the Bromley 750 apart from speakers that only accept smartphones. You can connect microphones, electric guitars, keyboards or turntables directly. Together with the built-in reverb and delay effects, this turns the speaker into a portable PA system rather than just a player. The IP54 certification ensures protection against dust and splashes, although it's not as robust as some competitors designed exclusively for outdoor use. An integrated water drainage system near the upper tweeters shows that Marshall has thought about real-world usage scenarios.
At 23.9kg, portability is relative. The telescoping handle and wheels help, but this isn't something you'll casually carry to the beach. It's more intended for events where you set it up once and it stays there.
Lighting situation: Marshall Bromley 750
Last but not least: an integrated LED array hidden behind the front grille offers three presets – one ambient mode and two that react to music. Marshall has kept the lighting relatively subtle compared to the rainbow light shows that are common in this category. The LEDs are invisible when not in use, which maintains the speaker’s clean aesthetic.
