TL;DR: Get the party started with a Marshall® Stanmore II wireless smart speaker for $279.99, a 30% savings as of June 16. 


Picture this. You’re working from home, it’s almost two o’clock, and you need a pick me up. Coffee just isn’t cutting it. Instead, you simply ask to hear James Brown’s “Get Up Offa That Thing” and are immediately awake and ready to go. Or maybe you’re stressed after a Zoom call that went in circles. You ask to hear some Norah Jones and you’re instantly at ease. That’s the reality you could have with this Marshall® Stanmore II Wireless Smart Speaker.

Different than those puny Bluetooth speakers you’re used to seeing, this fancy shmancy one from Marshall is nearly the size of a laptop and is built with advanced components, like two 15Watt class D amplifiers and stereo sound, that deliver clean, precise audio that easily fills up any room you’re in. It’s got that iconic Marshall design, which looks clean and classic in any room, so you’ll actually want to display it. It’s also integrated with Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa (whichever you prefer).

All you have to do to play music on this speaker is ask. Plus, you can fine-tune the sound to fit your style by asking or using the analog controls on top. Thanks to smart home features, you can also ask the speaker to take notes for you, add to your grocery list, send you reminders, or control your TVs, locks, or even AC controls. It’s like a high-powered hub for your entire house.
