Summary
Marshall is making a bold move with its new $1,000 Heston 120 soundbar, combining high-end audio technology with a classic guitar amp aesthetic. Featuring 11 drivers and Dolby Atmos/DTS-X, it delivers immersive spatial audio with a mix of Class D amplifiers and Bluetooth/Wi-Fi connectivity for seamless streaming. The design draws on Marshall's legacy, blending leather and metal finishes with gold script logos and tactile controls inspired by its headphones. Meanwhile, the soundbar itself lacks a subwoofer, though a standalone Heston Sub 200 is expected later this year.
