Owning a couple of Marshall Bluetooth speakers means great sound in different rooms, but getting music to follow you means reconnecting Bluetooth, nudging volume knobs, or carrying your phone with you. One speaker plays in the kitchen, another sits silent in the living room, and switching between them breaks whatever you were doing. The missing piece is not another speaker but a way to tie them together.
Marshall’s Heddon is a Wi-Fi music hub, a small square box that sits by your router and quietly becomes the brain for Acton III, Stanmore III, and Woburn III speakers. It connects to your network over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, pulls in music using Spotify Connect, AirPlay, Google Cast, or Tidal Connect, then rebroadcasts it to your speakers using Auracast so they all play in sync across rooms.
Designer: Marshall
Starting a playlist on your phone, you send it to Heddon instead of a single speaker and let it handle the rest. You move from the kitchen to the living room, and the same track is coming out of different Marshalls without re-pairing. Friends can cast from their own apps, but the hub keeps the stream going even when phones leave or run out of battery, which is how whole-home audio is supposed to work.
Heddon has RCA line-in, so you can plug in a turntable or older CD player and stream that signal wirelessly to your Marshall speakers around the house. The only requirement is a phono preamp somewhere in the chain. A record spinning in one corner can be heard in the kitchen and bedroom without running cables or buying a new Wi-Fi-enabled turntable, turning analog playback into something that feels modern.
Most of the complexity lives in the Marshall app, which discovers Heddon, lets you assign speakers to rooms, create groups, and manage updates. The physical box stays simple on purpose. That makes it easier to update over time, but it also means the experience rises and falls with how well the app is maintained and how comfortable you are living inside one brand’s ecosystem.
Heddon only works with specific Marshall home speakers, not older models or portable units, which narrows the audience. At around $300, it is not a casual add-on, even if bundle discounts soften the cost. Compared to third-party streamers, you are paying for tight integration and the Marshall look, which makes sense if you are already committed to their gear.
Heddon is less about chasing another object and more about making the speakers you like feel current. By adding Wi-Fi, casting, and multi-room logic in one small hub, it nudges a Marshall-filled home closer to the convenience of dedicated multi-room systems without throwing anything out. For people who care as much about how speakers look as how they sound, that is a neat way to modernize without starting over.
