- Is the Middleton II worth it over the original Middleton?
- The II keeps the same stereo driver layout and IP67 rating but adds Auracast reception and updated app support. If you already own the first Middleton, the upgrade is small; if you are buying new, the II is the better long-term pick.
- How does it compare with the Marshall Emberton?
- The Middleton II is larger, heavier and adds true stereo drivers plus more bass output. The Emberton is easier to carry; the Middleton II suits a room, a garden or a picnic better.
- Can it survive being dropped in water?
- Yes. It carries an IP67 rating, meaning it is dust-tight and can be submerged in shallow water for a short time. Dry the port cover before charging.
- Does it work with the Marshall app?
- Yes. The Marshall Bluetooth app gives you EQ adjustment, firmware updates and control over multipoint and Auracast settings.
- Can two people share audio from one source?
- Yes, through Auracast. A compatible source can broadcast to the Middleton II and other Auracast speakers at the same time.
- What is in the box?
- The speaker, a USB-C charging cable and a quick-start guide. A power adapter is not included.
