The Marshall Willen II is Marshall’s pocket-sized portable speaker, a 100.5 mm square that weighs 0.36 kg and carries a fastening strap on the back so it can hang from a bag, a bike or a tent. This is the Black and Brass version. Inside, a 38 W Class D amplifier drives one 2-inch 10 W full-range driver with two passive radiators, and Marshall rates the battery at 17+ hours per charge. The Marshall Willen II is rated IP67, so sand, rain and a drop in the pool are all covered.

38 W amplifier, 10 W driver: what the Marshall Willen II numbers mean
Marshall powers the Marshall Willen II with a 38 W Class D amplifier feeding a single 2-inch 10 W full-range driver, supported by two passive radiators in a sealed cabinet. Marshall does not say whether 38 W is a continuous (RMS) or a peak figure, and the driver itself is rated at 10 W, so read 38 W as the amplifier rating, not as a promise of loudness.
The figures that describe what you will actually hear are the maximum sound pressure of 88 dB SPL at 1 metre and the frequency range of 75 to 20,000 Hz. That is enough to fill a hotel room, a tent, a small balcony or a desk corner with clear sound. It is not a speaker for a full majlis or a crowded beach, and nothing this size reproduces deep sub-bass below 75 Hz. The passive radiators give the low end more body than the size suggests.
Playback is mono: the sound comes from one driver, so a single unit gives no left and right separation. For background music, podcasts and calls that matters little; for film soundtracks it does.
IP67 and a fastening strap: built for outdoors
Marshall rates the Marshall Willen II at IP67. The 6 means it is dust-tight, and the 7 means it can be submerged in 1 metre of water for up to 30 minutes, according to Marshall. In practice that covers poolside use, sand on the beach, a sudden shower on a camping trip in the mountains and a rinse under the tap afterwards.
The fastening strap on the back is the reason to choose this speaker over a slightly bigger one. It loops around a backpack strap, a bike handlebar, a stroller handle, a shower rail or a tent pole, so the speaker sits where you are instead of on the ground. At 100.5 x 100.5 x 43.4 mm and 0.36 kg it also fits in a jacket pocket or a glovebox.
Marshall Willen II battery: 17+ hours and care in UAE heat
Marshall rates the Marshall Willen II at 17+ hours of playtime per charge. Marshall does not state the volume used for that figure, so expect fewer hours at high volume. A 20-minute charge gives 5.5 hours of playtime, and a full charge takes 2.5 hours over USB-C.
Marshall’s own battery care guide is worth following in the UAE. It advises keeping the speaker away from heat above 45°C, such as a parked car or direct sunlight, which rules out leaving it on the dashboard in summer. It also recommends avoiding fast chargers where possible, keeping the charge between 30% and 80% for long life, not charging below 10°C and not using the speaker below 0°C. In the Marshall Bluetooth app you can choose a battery preservation level that caps charging to protect the cell.
Controls, calls and Bluetooth 5.3 LE
Everything runs from one multi-directional control knob on the top panel. Push it once to play or pause, push up or down for volume, and push left or right to skip tracks. For calls, push once to answer or end and twice to reject. The built-in microphone turns the Marshall Willen II into a speakerphone, and pressing the Bluetooth button during a call moves the audio between the speaker and your phone.
Marshall lists Bluetooth 5.3 LE with a range of up to 100 m in free field, meaning open space with nothing in between; walls and people shorten that indoors. Multipoint lets a phone and a laptop stay connected at the same time. Marshall also describes the speaker as Bluetooth LE Audio-ready and compatible with Auracast broadcast audio, a feature that depends on firmware and on the source device. The Marshall Bluetooth app for iOS and Android handles settings and firmware updates.
Why Black and Brass
Black and Brass is the classic Marshall look: a black body with brass-coloured script and details, the same styling people recognise from Marshall amplifiers. On a small outdoor speaker the black finish also hides sand, scuffs and fingerprints far better than a light colour, which suits a speaker that spends its life strapped to bags and bikes.
Marshall also makes the Willen II in Cream. Choose Black and Brass if the speaker will travel, get handled a lot or sit next to dark gear; Cream shows marks sooner but stands out more on a shelf.
Who This Is Not For
Anyone who wants stereo from one speaker: the Marshall Willen II plays in mono. Anyone planning outdoor parties: 88 dB SPL at 1 m is room-level volume, not crowd volume. Marshall does not list a Stack mode or two-speaker stereo pairing for the Willen II on its product page, so do not buy two expecting a stereo pair.
Marshall’s specifications list Bluetooth as the only way to play audio, with no wired input. The box includes a USB-C cable but no wall charger, and Marshall suggests avoiding fast chargers. At 0.36 kg it is also heavier than its size suggests.
