Marshall Willen II Bluetooth Speaker Drops Below $90 on Amazon

The Marshall Willen II portable Bluetooth speaker is selling for under $90 on Amazon, a discount from its standard retail price.

The Willen II is Marshall’s compact entry-level wireless speaker. It fits in the palm of a hand and targets buyers who want portability without sacrificing brand recognition.

What the Speaker Offers

Marshall positions the Willen II as an outdoor-ready device. It carries an IP67 rating, meaning it resists dust and submersion in up to one meter of water for 30 minutes, according to the IEC 60529 standard that governs such classifications.

The speaker connects via Bluetooth 5.3. That version of the standard, released by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group, delivers lower energy consumption and more stable connections than earlier iterations.

Battery life sits at approximately 11 hours on a single charge, per Marshall’s official product specifications. A USB-C port handles charging.

The unit weighs roughly 200 grams. Its small footprint makes it a practical choice for hiking, travel, or outdoor use where carrying a larger speaker is not practical.

Pricing and Availability

Amazon lists the Willen II at under $90 at the time of reporting. The speaker’s standard retail price is $99.99, per Marshall’s official U.S. storefront.

The discount represents roughly a 10 percent reduction from that listed price. Amazon frequently adjusts pricing dynamically, so availability at this price point may change.

About Marshall

Marshall Amplification, the British audio company, built its reputation on guitar amplifiers used by artists including Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton. The company entered the consumer headphone and portable speaker market in 2010.

The Willen II sits at the lower end of Marshall’s current portable speaker lineup. Above it in the range sit the Emberton III and the Middleton, both of which are larger and carry higher price tags.

The portable Bluetooth speaker market has grown steadily in recent years. Grand View Research valued the global Bluetooth speaker market at $9.23 billion in 2022 and projects it to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 10.5 percent through 2030.

Marshall competes in that segment against brands including JBL, Sony, and Bose, all of which offer compact waterproof models at similar price points.

The Willen II first launched as a successor to the original Willen, which Marshall introduced in 2022. The second generation retained the same form factor while updating internal components, including the Bluetooth chipset.
