Multiroom/Sharing Marshall Acton 3

Hi everyone, I looked on the Internet and I didn't find any answer I hope to find some suggestions otherwise it means that I threw money away. About a year ago I bought two Marshall Acton 3 speakers and I am very happy with the sound performance and the flawless Bluetooth connection even at a distance. Unfortunately I had bought them to place them in 3 different rooms (I already had another one of Marshall Acton 3 speaker) to make a multiroom effect (I think it's called that) that is, that you could hear the same music with the phone app in all 3 rooms. Unfortunately I read that the speaker app no longer supports this function. The alternative is to connect all 3 speakers with a wire all 3 speakers but also understand that it is not the best to see wires in all rooms. I was asking if anyone had had the same problem as me or if by chance there were alternative apps or something else to share the speakers. I forgot the speakers only work Bluetooth or cable they don't have a wireless connection. Thank you, any suggestion will be very welcome.

Kilburn II. Anyone knows what this means? A chime every 30 seconds or so. Not exact…

So this just started happening and I don’t know how to fix it. I’ve tried everything Google suggested.

Reset the speaker with power on, volume at 5, holding Bluetooth button for the 20-30 seconds.

Remove and re-add the speaker on 2 separate phones.

Replace the battery. Actually just replace the cells. I guess I can try replacing the whole battery with the board on the battery…

Happens only when plugged in with AC. If I remove the AC and let it run on battery, it doesn’t make the chime.

The chime is not Bluetooth connect or disconnect sound. It’s not the charging sound either as I remove the AC and plug it back in, it makes a different chime…

Anyone have any ideas?

what happened to my major5s?? 😭😭

i got my marshall major 5 on ear headphones about a year ago and they'd been perfectly fine. i absolutely loved them. just yesterday when i tuned them on again, they didn't get turned on. i thought maybe they're out of battery so i plugged the charger in again. about a couple of hours later, when i tried turning them on, i failed again.

Here's exactly what's happening:

  1. the blue light does appear. stays there for like a few secs and gets off again. i'm unable to connect them to my phone because it won't stay on long enough.
  2. i've charged them again too. still not working at all.

any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I got sick of the official Marshall app on Motif II so I wrote a faster unofficial one

The Marshall Bluetooth app on my Motif II A.N.C. is awful. Slow to open, laggy as hell, takes forever to talk to the buds. I got tired of waiting on a settings screen every time I wanted ANC or EQ, so I built a replacement.

Unofficial Marshall — small Android app, same job, not the official one. Not affiliated with Marshall.

What it does (tested on Motif II):

• Connects over BLE, actually feels instant

• Batteries (L / R / case)

• ANC / transparency / off + strength

• EQ presets

• Custom 5-band EQ (this one was a pain — official path is Classic SPP, not the BLE junk)

• Touch / wear / UI sounds

• A 2×2 home widget for battery + noise control

Other Marshall/Zound gear that uses the same BLE stuff might work. I’ve only lived on Motif II.

Install: you have to uninstall the official Marshall app first. Same Android package name, they can’t sit next to each other. That’s on purpose so pairing / Airoha identity still works.

Repo + release APK: https://github.com/krtkygpta/Unofficial-Marshal

arm64 Android. Unofficial, use at your own risk, case the buds if something weird happens.

If anyone tries it on Minor / Major / Monitor / whatever, tell me what broke.

Middleton II in black with a carrying frame

Hi folks.

Here's my Middleton II in black. I bought it last year as upgrade of an Emberton III and love its marvelous 360 degrees sound.

For turning around I use a carrying frame, for which I bought a wider strap.

Found my old Marshall Bluesbreaker

Found my old 90’s English Marshall Bluesbreaker in a crate in the attic. Are these things still highly sought after?

Is Middleton 2 a big upgrade over JBL Charge 5?

Got my eyes on a beautiful Middleton 2 in cream colour and was wondering if it's worth the upgrade from my current JBL Charge 5.

My main priority is: better vocals, better instrument separation, better battery life (~8hrs) and portability.

Is there a huge audible difference? How's your experience with the Middleton 2?

Loving the Monitor III :D

Hi guys, just wanna share my lovely experience with the Monitor III

UPGRADES

Firstly, this is a much needed upgrade of the Monitor series. There's finally some bass and the cusions are so comfyy. Improved ANC and battery life is a huge win too. ANC ain't close to Sony or Bose, but it's enough and not too aggressive.

Preferences

As someome who loves Enya's songs and instrumentals, this is a God-sent in the sea of overly V-shaped tuned headphones. Monitor's V-shape seem to be just nice. Just a nice hill rather than a mountain (red line). Vocals and instruments pop pretty nicely. Only issue with the tuning is that sometimes sounds sibilant, but sliding down 6.25kHz in the EQ helps.

Soundstage feature

It's alright. It does make vocals and rock somewhat feel like im in a concert. It has a reverb effect, but the actual soundstage doesn't seem to be affected by much. I dialed mine at 30% for small room. Too much made music sound echoish and the bass muddy.

Customized EQ

Every now and then I do listen to EDM and other elctronic music, so my customized EQ boosts the bass region (green line) Decided to set the M-button to toggle between default and customized EQ when I change from vocal/instruments to electronic. 6.25kHz dialed down too.

Overall happy with the performance. Slapped in an additional year of warranty because batteries will die at some point and given how much i'll be using these, I do see it happening in 2 years.

I was actually considering Sennheiser's Momentum 4/5, but the tuning sounded too clinical. Would have bought Bower's Px7 S3 if I had the money though
