The Marshall Heston 120, the company’s first soundbar, is now out, and it’s possibly the most attractive, fashionable soundbar on the market.
Marshall brought the classic designs of its guitar amplifiers to compact wireless speakers. Now, they are bringing it to your living room with the Marshall Heston 120 soundbar.
It is wrapped in the distinct mesh material, with a classic gold strip at the bottom, three gold-plated dials on top with light indicators, and tactile buttons for preset selection and other controls.
Oh, and of course, there’s the striking Marshall emblem in the middle.
Dolby Atmos is supported with up-firing tweeters, side-firing drivers for expanded soundstage and spatial clarity, three front drivers for better vocal clarity, dual rear-facing subwoofers, and four passive radiators for a powerful bass response.
This 11.0 channel speaker should provide powerful and immersive sound even without a dedicated subwoofer.
It has four sound modes: Music, Movie, Night, and Voice. You can adjust the EQ settings and designate the three preset buttons via the Marshall mobile app.
For connectivity, it has HDMI 2.1 eARC (4K 120Hz, Dolby Vision, HDCP 1.4), USB-C, 10/100Mbps Ethernet, and Bluetooth 5.3. WiFi 6 for internet connectivity is also here, which works with Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Google Cast, and AirPlay 2.
It also has two built-in microphones for room calibration. It can be wall-mounted, albeit the brackets are sold separately.
The Marshall Heston 120 launches in the United States for USD999.99 (~Php55,400). Availability in the Philippines is yet to be known.
