The most impressive thing about the Marshall Willen is its sound. Like most portable Bluetooth speakers, the Willen produces only mono audio, but it does this in a way that makes vocals sound exceptionally clear—a useful trait for music as well as for listening to audiobooks or podcasts.

I looked at dozens of handheld speakers from a wide range of companies before settling on 10 models to test and review. Most of these didn’t make the cut, producing music that often sounded tinny, muffled or distorted. The Marshall Willen defied my expectations
