Marshall's portable speaker range covers way more ground than most buyers realise when they first walk into the category. The lineup runs from a compact 17-hour pocket speaker to a 50-hour wireless unit heavy enough to anchor a weekend campsite. Each model sits at a specific intersection of size, battery life, and audio output, and the decision between them is less about which is best in absolute terms and more about which one fits how you actually use a speaker.
Evostore carries the full Marshall portable range in Nepal with verified stock and local warranty coverage. This guide covers every model currently available, what each one delivers, and how to choose between them.
Willen II: NPR 19,900
Emberton II: NPR 22,500
Emberton III: NPR 29,900
Stockwell II: NPR 35,000
Middleton: NPR 42,500
Kilburn II: NPR 45,000
Middleton II: NPR 49,900
Kilburn III: NPR 58,000
Tufton: NPR 65,000
Bromley 750: NPR 185,000
Bromley 450: Coming Soon
The range spans NPR 19,900 to NPR 185,000. The differences between models justify the price gaps rather than simply reflecting brand positioning.
The Willen II is the entry point into Marshall's portable range and the most compact speaker in the lineup. At 17-plus hours of playtime, it covers a full day of listening on a single charge. It carries an IP67 dust and waterproof rating, meaning it handles submersion to one metre for up to 30 minutes, which is the same waterproofing standard as the more expensive Emberton models. A rubber fastening strap allows it to be attached to a bag, stood upright, or hung from a fixed point. The physical size and 0.36-kilogram weight make it the most genuinely portable speaker in the range.
The Willen II runs a single 10W full-range driver in a mono configuration. It delivers clear, warm audio at close listening distances and handles the Marshall house sound, forward midrange, and extended treble, in a form factor that most competing speakers at this price sacrifice to achieve volume.
The Emberton II offers 30-plus hours of playtime with True Stereophonic 360-degree sound, an IP67 dust and waterproof rating, and a compact form factor at 0.7 kilograms. Two 2-inch full-range drivers and a pair of passive radiators produce the multi-directional output. Placement becomes less critical than with a directional speaker, which works well outdoors where a forward-facing speaker loses its advantage.
At NPR 22,500, the Emberton II delivers IP67 waterproofing, True Stereophonic sound, and 30-plus hours of battery at a price point that makes it a strong value within the range.
The Emberton III updates the Emberton II with 32-plus hours of playtime, Bluetooth 5.3 LE with multipoint connectivity, a built-in microphone for hands-free calls, and Bluetooth LE Audio-ready hardware for future Auracast compatibility. It is available in four colour options: Cream, Midnight Blue, Black and Brass, and Sage. IP67 rating carries over from the Emberton II.
The NPR 7,400 premium over the Emberton II buys the built-in microphone, improved Bluetooth specification, future-proof LE Audio hardware, and the additional colour options. On audio performance alone, the difference is incremental. Buyers who want the microphone or the Midnight Blue and Sage finishes will find the Emberton III the right purchase.
The Stockwell II is a mid-sized portable speaker with 20-plus hours of playtime, True Stereophonic sound from three Class D amplifiers driving a subwoofer and front and rear facing tweeters, and analog bass, treble, and volume control knobs on the top panel. A guitar-inspired carry strap makes it easy to carry by hand or attach to a bag. The IP rating is IPX4, meaning it handles rain and splashes but is not rated for submersion. Battery quick-charge delivers six hours of playtime from a 20-minute charge.
The Stockwell II suits buyers who want analog tone controls in a portable format. The bass and treble knobs are a feature absent from the Willen II and Emberton range, where EQ adjustment requires the Marshall Bluetooth app.
The Middleton is a mid-sized portable speaker with 20-plus hours of playtime and an IP67 dust and waterproof rating. Available in Cream, Black, and Brass. The IP67 rating at this price point makes it the first model in the lineup where full waterproof certification rather than splash resistance becomes the stated specification.
The Middleton suits buyers who want a capable portable speaker for active outdoor use without moving into the larger Kilburn form factor.
The Kilburn II delivers 20-plus hours of playtime from a substantially larger cabinet than the Middleton, which translates to more low-frequency extension and higher maximum volume without compression. It is the speaker that fills a medium-sized outdoor space, a rooftop, a garden, a campsite, without asking the driver to work beyond its design parameters.
At NPR 45,000, the Kilburn II is NPR 2,500 more than the Middleton. The audio difference at volume is audible. The larger cabinet and woofer produce bass weight that the Middleton cannot match at moderate to high volumes.
The Middleton II updates the original Middleton with 30-plus hours of playtime, a ten-hour improvement over its predecessor. Available in Cream, Black, and Brass. For buyers who camp or travel for extended periods between power access, the battery life increase is operationally significant.
At NPR 49,900, the Middleton II sits above the Kilburn II at NPR 45,000. The decision between the two comes down to whether battery life or audio output at volume is the priority. The Kilburn II produces more sound in a larger space. The Middleton II runs longer between charges.
The Kilburn III delivers 50-plus hours of playtime, the highest battery figure in the entire Marshall portable lineup by a wide margin. Available in Cream, Black, and Brass.
Fifty hours of battery life changes the practical category of the speaker. A Kilburn III charged once before a three-day camping trip does not need to be charged again during the trip at moderate use. For buyers who spend extended time outdoors without power access, this is the specification that makes the purchase decision straightforward, regardless of the NPR 58,000 price point.
The Tufton is the largest and most powerful speaker in Marshall's traditional portable lineup at NPR 65,000. It delivers 20-plus hours of playtime from a cabinet that prioritises acoustic output over battery life. The Tufton is built for buyers who want the maximum portable audio performance Marshall produces in this category.
The Tufton's cabinet volume and driver configuration produce bass extension and maximum volume output that the Kilburn III does not match. In a large outdoor space where audio performance is the primary objective, the Tufton is the correct choice. In a situation where battery life and portability over multiple days matter more, the Kilburn III is the better purchase.
The Bromley 750 is a different category of product from every other speaker in this guide. It is a powerful party speaker with True Stereophonic 360-degree sound, available in Black and Brass at NPR 185,000. It is a high-output speaker for events, large outdoor gatherings, and situations where the audio requirement exceeds what any carry-capable speaker can deliver.
At NPR 185,000, the Bromley 750 is an event audio purchase rather than a personal speaker purchase.
The Bromley 450 is coming soon on Evostore. It offers 360-degree True Stereophonic sound at a lower price point than the Bromley 750. Contact Evo Store directly for availability updates.
The decision across the range follows a clear logic once you identify the primary use case:
Daily carry and desk use: Willen II at NPR 19,900
Compact portable with long battery and IP67: Emberton II at NPR 22,500 or Emberton III at NPR 29,900
Portable with analog tone controls and carry strap: Stockwell II at NPR 35,000
Outdoor use with IP67 waterproofing: Middleton at NPR 42,500 or Middleton II at NPR 49,900
Maximum volume for medium outdoor spaces: Kilburn II at NPR 45,000
Extended outdoor use with maximum battery: Kilburn III at NPR 58,000
Maximum audio performance in portable format: Tufton at NPR 65,000
Large event and party audio: Bromley 750 at NPR 185,000

1. Which Marshall portable speaker offers the best value in Nepal in 2026?
The Emberton II at NPR 22,500 delivers the most balanced combination of battery life, audio quality, waterproofing, and price within the range. Thirty-plus hours of playtime, True Stereophonic 360-degree sound, and an IP67 dust and waterproof rating at the third-lowest price point in the lineup make it the most frequently recommended starting point for buyers entering the Marshall portable range for the first time.
2. What is the difference between the Emberton II and Emberton III?
The Emberton III adds approximately two hours of battery life over the Emberton II, upgrades to Bluetooth 5.3 LE with multipoint connectivity, adds a built-in microphone for hands-free calls, and includes Bluetooth LE Audio-ready hardware for future Auracast compatibility. It also adds Midnight Blue and Sage colour options. Both carry IP67 waterproofing and True Stereophonic sound. The audio performance difference is incremental.
3. Which Marshall portable speaker has the longest battery life in Nepal?
The Kilburn III at NPR 58,000 delivers 50-plus hours of playtime, the highest battery figure in the entire Marshall portable range available at Evo Store. It is the correct choice for buyers who prioritise extended outdoor use between charges over maximum audio output at high volumes.
4. Which Marshall portable speakers are fully waterproof?
The Willen II, Emberton II, Emberton III, Middleton, and Middleton II all carry IP67 ratings, meaning they handle submersion to one metre for up to 30 minutes. The Stockwell II carries an IPX4 rating, which covers rain and splashes but not submersion. Check the specific IP rating for the model you are considering before assuming full waterproof capability across the range.
