Thanks for the review, it really sealed the deal! It's not necessary to go with the newest and prettiest one if I'm looking for an affordable and good sounding speakers :)
It's not really advertised, but the Klipsch The One 2 phono uses the aptx hd codec. I also have the Klipsch The Three 2 snap on version, and that only uses sbc.
The Acton III needs the treble cranked up to max before it sounds decent. It's a bit boomy and plastic sounding but not too bad. I hate how the power on/off switch doesn't actually turn the unit off properly. It consumes about half a watt when off, while plugged in. I bought the Acton III today and discovered this, not impressed! Might return. 🔌 A power button labelled "off" should mean off, otherwise call it "standby" or "sleep".
Good one, i think the marshal sounded more balanced out of the three while the old klipsch sounded more rich, full overall, the new klipsch sounds more a bit muffled & bass heavy I think the EQ can do well for all when properly adjusted My pick is the older Klipsch Why do these boxes not have handle though for easy move around?
I bought the Klipsch The One II, and I found the bass to be boomy, indistinct, and overall. Though, the mids were pretty fantastic. I’m guessing that if I didn’t like the previous The One’s sound, this is not gonna change my mind?
The Marshall sounded like the treble was turned up too high. The new Klipsch sounded like the treble was turned down a bit too much, almost like its tweeter was disconnected. And the old Klipsch sounded a bit "scooped" in the midrange. I'm not sure I'd be happy with any of them.
From what I can hear from my headphones (sony xm3) from RU-vid video, the best sounding device is Marshal, second place is Klipsch one (old) and the last in quality is Klipsch One Plus. What you think, why the impression from video is different from your opinion?
Can someone tell me, what these speaker drivers are made of? Paper, Plastic, Kevlar or any other material? How long does it last? because here in my place its too hot always. Planning to buy one either Klipsch or Marshall.
Hey Danny, I'll make you a deal, I'll tell you about the best portable speaker for the money/ based on quality of brand and wattage and price, if you say, you'll try and review it, hint: It's also made by Klipsch, (unfortunately it's not reviewed in hardly enough comparison's side by side on RU-vid and that's what's needed) it's got 130 Watts and it's available for 200.00.
Hi Danny pops . Today I purchased marshal acton 3. Are front grills of marshall acton 3 made of metals. Only logo of marshall is made of metal in my acton 3 which I purchased today. Plz let me know. I purchased it from amazon.
The grill on the Marshall home line speakers are not metal (action, stanmore, Woburn), it’s a woven material. The Marshall portable speakers have the tougher metal grill (Emberton, willen, Middleton etc.)
The One II (terrible name) has preferred style of mid century modern, with the sharp edges and heavily textured fabrics... But the additional tech in the plus (better name, still not great... I don't know what they will be forced to call the next iteration) makes it slightly more versatile. Annoyingly, they sell for roughly the same price, so it's not even a decision that can be left up to the economics...
