Marshall’s latest release isn’t another speaker, it’s something designed to make the ones you already own a lot more useful. Called the Heddon, this small streaming hub gives Marshall’s Bluetooth speakers a long-awaited upgrade: the ability to sync audio across multiple rooms. Whether you’re streaming from Spotify or spinning vinyl on a turntable, the Heddon ties it all together and sends your music throughout the house, no new speakers required.

If you already own one of Marshall’s Bluetooth speakers, like the Acton III ($239 at Amazon) or Stanmore III ($399 at Amazon), you probably love how they sound, but there’s been one catch: they don’t talk to each other. That changes with the launch of the Heddon, a compact music streaming hub that pulls everything together.

Released on January 21, 2026, the Heddon connects to your home Wi-Fi and uses Auracast to send music to multiple speakers at once. Instead of managing one speaker at a time, the Heddon lets you create a synchronized, multi-room setup, so your music follows you from the kitchen to the living room without skipping a beat.

The Heddon supports popular services like Spotify Connect, TIDAL, AirPlay, and Google Cast. Once it's set up (via the Marshall app), you can send audio from your phone or tablet straight to your Marshall speakers. No extra gear needed.

But one of the more surprising features is support for vinyl. There’s a phono input on the back of the Heddon, so you can plug in a turntable and stream your records wirelessly across the house. It’s an easy way to mix the analog charm of vinyl with the convenience of modern streaming.

And if you’ve got older Marshall speakers, there’s good news. You can use the RCA output on the Heddon to wire them in. They won’t be wireless, but they’ll still play in sync with your newer models.

Not every Marshall speaker is plug-and-play with the Heddon, but many are. Here’s a quick breakdown:

Works wirelessly (via Auracast):

• Acton III
• Stanmore III
• Woburn III

Works via RCA connection:

• Acton Bluetooth, Acton II
• Stanmore Bluetooth, Stanmore II
• Woburn Bluetooth, Woburn II
• Kilburn, Kilburn II
• Stockwell, Stockwell II
• Tufton
• Acton Voice, Stanmore Voice

If you're using the RCA connection, you’re limited to one stereo pair (left and right). But even with that limitation, it gives older gear a way to stay in the mix, without replacing everything you already have.

Physically, the Heddon is small, just under five inches wide, and styled to match the rest of Marshall’s lineup, complete with a black textured finish and gold logo. There’s no screen or cluttered interface. It’s meant to disappear into your setup and be controlled entirely from the Marshall app.

You’ll find both Wi-Fi and Ethernet support, which gives you the flexibility to go wireless or wired depending on your setup. And the whole system is designed to be as easy as possible to use, even if you’re not a tech expert.

Marshall also put some thought into how the Heddon is made. It’s built with 53% recycled materials, including 39% metal, most of which comes from certified recycled sources. And all of the cables are PVC-free, which aligns with Marshall’s broader shift toward more sustainable product design.

While those numbers might not affect sound quality, they do show the company is thinking beyond the music when it comes to how its products are built.

If you’re wondering how the Marshall Heddon compares to something like Sonos, the short answer is: they’re aiming for a similar result, multi-room sound, but they go about it very differently. Sonos is built from the ground up as a full ecosystem. All its speakers are made to talk to each other over Wi-Fi, and the Sonos app ties everything together. It’s super polished, but it also means you’re locked into buying Sonos gear.

The Heddon takes a different route, it works as an add-on that gives Marshall’s Bluetooth speakers a serious upgrade. If you already have an Acton III or Woburn III, the Heddon brings them into a whole-home system without having to toss out your current setup.

There are some perks to this approach, especially if you’re still holding on to older gear or love listening to vinyl. Unlike Sonos, which doesn’t support analog sources out of the box, the Heddon has RCA inputs so you can plug in a turntable and stream records around the house. It also lets you connect older Marshall models via RCA cables, so they can play along with newer wireless speakers.

It’s not quite as seamless as Sonos, but it’s more flexible for people who want to bridge the gap between old and new. Think of it as a way to modernize your Marshall gear without starting from scratch.

The Marshall Heddon is priced at $299.99 in the U.S., £179.99 in the U.K., and €199 in Europe. But if you’re buying it alongside a new speaker, there are a couple of deals worth knowing about:

• Buy one eligible speaker (Acton III, Stanmore III, or Woburn III), and you can grab the Heddon at half price.
• Buy two or more eligible speakers, and the Heddon is free.

That makes it an easy add-on for new buyers and a compelling upgrade for folks already using Marshall gear around the house.

The Marshall Heddon isn’t flashy, but it might be exactly what Marshall fans have been waiting for. It adds true multi-room streaming to the company’s popular Bluetooth speakers, without forcing you to invest in a whole new lineup. And with support for both digital and analog sources, including vinyl, it fits into a wide range of setups.

If you’ve been looking for a way to tie your Marshall speakers together into one cohesive system, this little box might be the missing link.
