With the Bromley 450, Marshall is expanding its portfolio of mobile party speakers and launching a more compact alternative to the larger model on the market. Despite its reduced size, the features remain surprisingly comprehensive: powerful 360° sound, long battery life and a robust design meet modern connectivity. The new speaker is aimed at anyone who doesn’t want to miss out on rich sound and flexible application options when on the move.
- 360° sound with a total of 8 drivers for even sound distribution
- Over 40 hours of battery life thanks to replaceable battery
- Bluetooth 5.3 including Auracast support
- Robust housing with IP55 certification for outdoor use
Marshall Bromley 450 relies on powerful sound in a compact format
The Marshall Bromley 450 adopts many of the features of the larger Bromley 750, but remains significantly more compact and mobile. Inside, a complex speaker system with a total of eight drivers is at work. These include two 6.5-inch woofers, four full-range speakers and two passive radiators. This combination ensures a balanced sound with powerful bass and clear mids – ideal for music of all genres.
The True Stereophonic 360° sound is particularly noteworthy. This concept enables an even sound distribution in all directions, so that the speaker delivers a consistent listening experience regardless of its position in the room or outdoors. The system is supported by several Class D amplifiers that are specifically tuned to the individual drivers.
The battery performance is also impressive: with over 40 hours of battery life, the Bromley 450 is one of the longer-lasting models in its class. The replaceable battery provides additional flexibility – a practical advantage, especially at longer events or festivals. Charging is convenient via USB-C, which enables the use of modern charging infrastructure.
Focus on design, connectivity and versatility
Typical for Marshall, the Bromley 450 also has a striking design that is strongly reminiscent of classic guitar amplifiers. PU leather, a robust metal grille and reinforced corners with TPU protective caps not only ensure a high-quality look, but also a high level of durability. The IP55 certification protects against dust and splashing water, making the speaker ideal for outdoor parties.
Another highlight are the integrated stage lights in the style of the 70s, which provide additional atmosphere. These can be deactivated if required so that the focus is entirely on the sound. The experience is complemented by classic, haptic controls on the top, which can be used to adjust the volume and sound directly.
The speaker is also modern in terms of connectivity: Bluetooth 5.3 ensures stable connections and a long range, while Auracast opens up new possibilities for multi-speaker setups. Two combo sockets for microphones or instruments also make the Bromley 450 interesting for spontaneous karaoke sessions or small live performances.
Conclusion: Versatile party speaker with powerful features
The Marshall Bromley 450 combines powerful sound, long battery life and robust construction in a comparatively compact format. The 360° audio playback and flexible use thanks to the exchangeable battery and instrument inputs in particular set this model apart from many competing products. It is priced at 649 euros and will initially go on sale via the manufacturer’s website before becoming available in stores.
